PERSONAL INJURY
Personal Injury Attorneys
If you or a loved one has been involved in an accident and sustained significant injuries, this may mean a substantial lifestyle adjustment. You might be unable to work and have thousands of dollars in medical costs and other expenses for medications, adaptive equipment, rehabilitative therapy, and much more. Perhaps these strains could lead to the need to depend on friends and family for daily help and maintenance. Or, perhaps you are facing a long and painful road to recovery and a return to your active lifestyle. Plus, in addition to the physical pain and emotional stress you are dealing with in the aftermath of a personal injury accident, you could also be overcome by financial expenditures and losses.
Personal Injuries
There are numerous aspects of personal injury. Legal professionals with knowledge and experience in personal injury law can help you when you are faced with:
Car, motorcycle, and truck accidents
When you undergo the force and impact of a motor vehicle accident, you can sustain significant injuries, including concussion and traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, whiplash, broken bones, and much, much more.
Tractor-trailer, semi-truck, and commercial vehicle accidents
In these cases, both the driver and the company he or she drives for should be held responsible for any injuries you sustain.
Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
Just like any other accident that occurs on streets, roads, and highways, you can be wrongfully injured when you are walking or riding a bicycle.
Slip and fall and premises liability incidents
If you are injured on someone else’s property or in a public place, then they have a responsibility for your harm. Premise liability cases can include slip and fall accidents, dog attacks, and much more.
Product liability claims
These claims for financial compensation can arise when a defective or malfunctioning product injures you or someone you love. Product liability can extend to damaged toys and faulty devices or equipment such as tires, medical equipment, and batteries.
Medical malpractice and wrongful death
These can occur in the healthcare arena and elsewhere, and may include birthing injuries, nursing home neglect, child-related injuries, healthcare provider errors, and more.
Get a Case Review
When personal harm or injury occurs to you because of someone else’s wrongful conduct, carelessness, recklessness, or negligence, you might be eligible to receive compensation for your losses. This is true whether or not the negligent party is an individual or a business.
An insurance company may try to offer you a settlement, but this is probably not in your best interest, as insurance companies intend to minimize their expenditures. Before accepting a settlement offer, contact a personal injury lawyer to get a case review and a determination of what you should expect and truly deserve.
Injuries and harm from accidents can leave you overwhelmed and unsure of what to do and how to recover. Speaking to a personal injury attorney about your next best actions can lead to getting the financial compensation you need to move forward with your life. Personal injury lawyers can fight hard on your behalf to work to recover full and fair compensation for you.
