Steps to Take After an Injury

Posted on by

The first steps to take in a personal injury incident besides getting emergency medical care are making sure your legal rights are protected. If you are unable to work, you may require compensation to cover lost wages. When you are involved in a wreck, seek treatment and let doctors know the injuries are current and not from a previous wreck. Contact the police to establish a legal record of the crash or other personal injury incident such as a dog bite. For workplace accidents, file a report for those in charge of work place safety. Make sure all accidents are completely documented, such as writing down everything that happened and information about witnesses. If the injury was caused by a product, make sure you find the instructions and warning labels that were attached to it. Get help from an attorney who can work with you to see if your case qualifies for filing a claim. Also, be aware of the “statute of limitations” which requires you to file a claim within a certain time frame, according to news reports.

Discussing your case with an attorney can be crucial to making sure your rights are protected during the case. An attorney can help you get started on the right track towards success with your case and fully investigate in order to get the results you deserve for your claim.

Driver Charged with Ignoring Medical Advice

Posted on by

A woman from Colorado may have not heeded her doctor’s advice to not drive before she smashed her SUV into a truck, resulting in five deaths. The driver experienced seizures just before the collision. A mother, father, and their three children, were killed immediately in the wreck. She was told in the emergency room not to drive after she had a seizure in 2006. However, the defense argues that her doctor did not see proof that she really had a seizure. Yet, another incident happened in 2010 when she may have had another seizure, though her husband thought it was just heat stroke. “It will all come down to 10 women and two men who will decide whether she is a victim of mixed medical advice and bad judgment or a criminal who deserves prison,” according to news reports. The case is similar to the one involving Commerce Secretary John Bryson. He is being accused of a hit-and-run after possibly experiencing a seizure while behind the wheel.

As a personal injury attorney, I look forward to hearing more about this case. I always urge drivers to heed medical advice from their doctors and avoid driving if they believe a medical problem could lead to a collision. If you or someone dear to you was harmed in an auto accident caused by negligence, discuss your claim with an attorney who can evaluate your case and help protect and defend your legal rights.
