Personal injury law is a branch of law that focuses on the protection of people that have suffered injuries and losses done by another person, a company, his employer and so on. Injuries and losses could be done in his person or his property and may also be an injury to his reputation and the person’s rights.
Personal injury law protects people and upholds their rights in every situation. You may be the victim of personal injury and may need immediate legal help when you are in these kinds of situation:
Animal Bite Injuries:
A neighbor’s dog attacks you or a member of the family and the victim has suffered deep wounds and lacerations. You learn that the dog is often left out of the house and has inadequate vet attention. The dog’s owner does not want to shoulder medical expenses and disregards your case.
Medical Malpractice:
You were discharged after a colon surgery but as you got home you develop fever and terrible abdominal pains. You are bleeding from the surgical site. After diagnosis, a surgical OS has been forgotten inside your abdominal cavity. Your surgeon says that this is just a common occurrence in an abdominal surgery.
Construction Accidents:
You are a construction worker in a 10 storey building working on the building’s façade. A wooden beam falls from above you and hits you on the head causing you to black out. You were rushed to the hospital with an open and bleeding skull but your employer says that this should never have happened when you were just wearing your safety helmet.
Nursing Home Abuse:
You visit your mother in the nursing home and find her thinner and weaker than she was before. She can’t speak but you discover that she has large painful marks on her thighs. You discover from another patient that she was hit by an orderly when she wet the bed. The nursing home administration says that these are bed sores and are common in elderly patients that stay long in bed.
Slip and Fall Accidents:
You just have made an over-the-counter withdrawal from your bank when you slipped and fell on your back. A janitor was mopping the area and has left a puddle of soapy water. The bank manager says that this would never have happened when you just saw the caution sign but you swore there were no signs to warn you.
In all these common situations, you need someone that knows personal injury law. Hiring a personal injury lawyer will help you secure just compensation for your injuries and if there are missed days of work, damage to
your reputation and other similar effects.
