2. Introduction
The Law is quite clear on the subject: if you’ve been harmed in any
kind of way, there’s a great chance that you can be compensated for
your ordeal.
But exactly what type of claims are
defensible, and what benefits can you
expect to receive in relation to your
misfortune?
In this presentation, we will check out 5 types of accident and damage
that should give you and your injury lawyer the advantage
over insurance companies.
3. Slip & Fall
Whether it be a private, commercial or municipal property, the person
who's in charge of that location has the duty to maintain the floors and
make sure that they're safe for anyone to use.
If that owner/tenant does not comply with this rule (by neglecting to put
up a caution sign if the grounds are slippery, for example) and an
accident ensues, he exposes himself to legal proceedings.
In case you've suffered such an injury, what's important to remember is
to record any evidence (pictures, reports...) for future reference, as
the ability to prove your harm is going to determine in great part
whether you stand a chance against insurance companies or not.
4. Brain & Spinal Cord Injury
Brain trauma as well as spinal cord injury deserve a special note here
as they form a category on their own. While slip and fall and other
such accidents may cause you a lot of pain, the damage isn't always
permanent.
In case of brain and spinal injuries, by definition, the victim is often left
with devastating consequences that may last a lifetime.
5. Brain & Spinal Cord Injury
Following that damage, the person may require constant support and
care, which can prove to be both hard to accept and expensive. That's
why the injured will need all the moral support they can get but also
financial aid to try and resume as normal a life as possible.
A personal injury lawyer can help secure those much needed
resources.
6. Motor Vehicle Accident
Injuries sustained in a car accident used to be
taken seriously by the Law but, in recent years,
due to heavy lobbying by insurance companies,
it's getting harder and harder to be heard. If
regulations have changed, though, the suffering
of motor vehicle accident victims remains the
same; they still need help.
That's where the importance of contacting an
experienced injury law firm proves to be
essential, to ensure that your rights are
protected and that you're reimbursed for your
medical expenses and the loss of your income.
7. Medical Malpractice
Medical and dental surgeons enjoy such an aura of prestige that
they might seem above suspicion. However, they're just
humans like the rest of us, which means that they too are
fallible.
Whenever mistakes have been made and you've suffered further
injury or permanent damage due to the negligence of your
practitioner, know that youmay be entitled to benefits.
8. Wrongful Death
In the event that a person can be held accountable for the death of
another, wrongful death claims may arise. If you've tragically lost a
family member, you can request compensation for your loss and
emotional distress.
As you will also incur expenses, such as the
organization of the funeral, you will need to
have those cost covered as well.
9. Conclusion
When you've just suffered a tragic accident, money matters
might be the last thing on your mind; however, it's very
important that you don't wait and get the help from an injury law
firm as fast as possible.
Not only to ensure that you can recover without having to worry
about financial issues but also to have your rights protected.
