Are You Eligible To File A Personal Injury Claim

Know what type of injury you sustained from an accident or related events to determine if you are qualified to file for compensation claims. The first type of injury is physical. This is the case where you can generally take note of all the information regarding the accident. Along with photographs of the scene of the accident, medical bills, charts and other procedures you were requested to undertake in the hospital following the accident can be submitted. The second type of injury is psychological. This is worse than the first type since you may suffer the effects long-term and may give rise to stress, anxiety and other emotional distress that you will hinder you from moving on after the accident.

Collect all evidence on the spot. If you are unable to perform this, have a person you know record all matters that can serve as evidence later on.

Take the accident seriously because you never know how it will affect you in the future, even if you think the pain is minor and life will move on as usual after the accident. You may feel benevolent and basically want to forget the accident ever happened. This will be difficult if the accident affects you in many ways, such as being unable to perform your usual duties and obligations due to your injuries.

Treating the mental effects from the accident is more complex as the duration could either be short or long, depending on your situation and how you were impacted by the accident. You may also suffer the stigma attached to psychological damages. For example, you may find yourself being regarded in a different way at your job and in other activities you engaged in before the accident.

There are matters that you should take care of at the scene of the accident in order for you to receive the compensation you deserve for your injuries.

1. Collect all evidence that you see at the scene. Ask a person you know to perform this task if you are unable to do so or you are required to be sent to the hospital for immediate treatment. Photograph all the things that happened at the scene. In the case of a car accident, photograph all angles of all vehicles involved. In addition, take note of all your injuries and take pictures of them.

2. Keep all the bills and all the documents for the treatments you have undertaken. If the accident is not your fault, you can request for reimbursement for accident-related expenses you have incurred later from the other party.

3. Hire the services of a good lawyer with experience in compensation claims for personal injury. Furnish the lawyers will all the evidence you have collected so that they can map out a strong case for you. Inquire about the name of lawyers who do not charge consultation fees, especially if such added expense is not within your budget.

Personal Injury Attorney : Crush Injury Cases

Construction sites are common grounds for crush injuries. Let the attorneys at our Law Office help with your construction site crush injury case.

Every year thousands of construction workers sustain crush injuries. A crush injury occurs when a high degree of pressure or force is applied to a workers’ body part. As heavy machinery becomes more common on work sites, so too will the number of crush injuries. Crush injuries are numerous and varied. From minor fractures to major trauma, crush injuries affect construction site workers each year.

Most workplace crush injuries are minor and result in bruising or no injury at all. However, when sufficient force is applied fractures, compartment syndrome, loss of limbs, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, asphyxiation, paralysis and death are common. Often times, workers that suffer severe crush injuries are trapped during the incident, this may result in severe psychological trauma for the injured employee.

The most common crush injuries occur during the cleaning and maintenance of equipment, when objects are fall or are dropped from heights, or when other employees negligently operate heavy machinery.

Regardless of how the accident occurs, your employer owes you the duty to provide you with a safe working environment. A safe working environment includes instituting rules and regulations regarding the use and maintenance of heavy equipment in an effort to prevent crush injuries. Employers can reduce risk by using nets and other safety equipment to ensure that tools and supplies are not accidentally dropped on employees.

Contact our Law Office if you or a loved one have suffered a crush injury and believe that you are not at fault. Our work related injury attorney will provide free online legal advice as well as a free consultation to determine whether or not the actions or inaction of any other party resulted in your injury.
