What should I do after a car accident?

After a car accident, prioritize safety and check for serious injuries. Then, call 911 to report the crash and request emergency responders to the scene. Even if the collision is minor, contacting the police is essential. The officer will generate an official report that may be used to establish which driver was at fault. If you are physically able to, begin documenting evidence. Take photos of the surrounding area, all vehicles involved, your injuries, and anything else that may explain what happened, like an obstruction in the road. Exchange essential contact information with the other driver(s) and any eyewitnesses. Ask the police officer how to obtain a copy of his or her report. While it is important to report the accident to your insurer, be careful communicating with your insurance company. They may try to trick you into admitting full or partial blame. Stick to the facts and call our car accident lawyer immediately. We will review your case, inform you if you may be eligible to seek compensation, and handle the entire legal process, including filing your claim, negotiating with insurers, and representing you in court if necessary.

How do I know if I have a medical malpractice case?

Doctors and other healthcare professionals often get into the field of medicine to save lives and alleviate suffering. However, there are times when they fail to provide an acceptable standard of care, leading to a patient being seriously injured or even losing their life. Indicators of medical malpractice include an absence of informed consent, persistent symptoms, delayed diagnosis, incorrect diagnosis, inappropriate treatment plan, prescription errors, surgical mistakes, unsafe use of anesthesia, and/or a doctor who is dismissive of your concerns or questions. Medical malpractice claims can be brought against a provider, like a physician or nurse, or against a facility, like a hospital. If something doesn’t feel right about the healthcare you or a loved one received, then it’s wise to consider speaking with our lawyer to discuss your legal options.

How much is my personal injury case worth?

The value of your personal injury case depends on several factors. Most importantly, our attorney evaluates how your injuries have affected your life. The severity of your injuries and the level of negligence shown by the at-fault party can also influence your final settlement amount. In personal injury cases, the plaintiff (victim) can pursue economic and non-economic damages. Examples of economic damages are tangible losses that are easily quantifiable, like medical bills, missed wages, loss of earning potential, and the cost to repair or replace property. Non-economic damages are more challenging to value as they represent the emotional and mental impact of the accident. Depending on the circumstances of your case, our personal injury lawyer may include pain and suffering, emotional distress, or mental anguish as part of your claim. When a liable party shows gross negligence, like driving drunk, a judge may allow a plaintiff to request punitive damages. This additional restitution is meant to deter the defendant and others from exhibiting such reckless and dangerous behavior.

Who can be held responsible for a slip and fall claim?

Our attorney determines who to hold responsible in a slip and fall claim by investigating the circumstances of the accident. Under premises liability law, property owners are required to make their property safe for visitors, warn against potential hazards, and complete repairs in a reasonable amount of time. In situations where a slip and fall occurs at a residential property, the homeowner (or their insurer) will be named in the lawsuit. If the accident happened at a business, assigning liability is more challenging. For example, if you slip and fall in a store whose owner rents the space, your claim will be against the shop, not the landlord. But, if you fell on cracked pavement outside of the store, your claim would likely be against the building owner, property manager, or maintenance service who is in charge of exterior upkeep. However, if the sidewalk is considered public property, you may have a claim against the town or city. Fault in premises liability cases can be complicated. Don’t struggle alone.
