Protecting Your Family in the Event of a Serious Injury

Most of us purchase insurance with the expectation of not actually needing to use it. Maybe that’s the optimist in us all. But, insurance is more of a “just in case” sort of thing, and when we buy it, it’s with the understanding that life will continue to go on as planned and we will not fall victim to a serious injury. It’s just like buckling your seatbelt. You don’t expect someone to T-bone you today, but you’re going to be ready just in case.

Oh, but how our worlds are turned upside down when accidents do happen!

Even when we have insurances in place, a sudden and serious injury is always blindsiding. Whether it was due to an accident at work or a drunk driver on the highway, they happen in a heartbeat. They leave a long-lasting, horrible impact on your life. A serious injury doesn’t just lead to pain and misery, it can change your entire life in an instant.

Causes of Serious Injuries

Serious injuries can take on many forms. No two injuries are alike. I’ve met a lot of people, heard their stories and empathized with their pain as they shared them with me. Some of the most common types of serious injuries that can befall innocent people like yourself include:

Workplace Accidents

Fall from Heights

A serious accident can occur when a worker falls from elevated areas such as ladders, scaffolding, or rooftops. Personal injury victims may file claims when they sustain injuries if the fall was due to inadequate safety measures or equipment. It’s crucial for anyone working in high places, to triple check their safety equipment.

Machinery Accidents

Workers can suffer serious injuries when operating or working near heavy machinery. In such cases, the injured worker can pursue a personal injury claim against the responsible party, which could be the employer, machinery manufacturer or even a negligent co-worker.

Electrical Accidents

An employee can suffer severe injuries from electrical shock or burns when exposed to faulty wiring, equipment, or unsafe electrical practices in the workplace. It is very important for companies to ensure the safety of their workers. It is also important, that when a worker is injured, they are immediately taken care of.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents at work can result in serious injuries, such as sprains, fractures, and head trauma. It is important to maintain cleanliness in all areas of the workplace, and if a spill occurs, it’s imperative to cleanup the spill promptly and thereby minimize fall risk.

Chemical Exposure

Workers may be exposed to hazardous chemicals that can lead to serious health issues, including respiratory problems, chemical burns, or long-term illnesses. Personal injury claims can help the affected workers receive compensation for their injuries, chronic illness and medical expenses.

Automobile Collisions

Rear-End Collisions

A rear-end collision occurs when one vehicle strikes the backend of another vehicle. These accidents can result in serious injuries such as whiplash, spinal cord injuries, and traumatic brain injuries. Victims may need to file a personal injury claim to seek compensation for their medical expenses and other damages. Personal injury attorneys frequently file injury claims for rear-end collisions.

T-Bone Accidents

A side-impact collision, also known as a T-Bone accident, happens when one vehicle crashes into the side of another vehicle. This is very serious type of accident that can cause severe injuries, including broken bones, internal injuries, and head trauma.

If you suffered a severe injury due to a T-bone accident, my law firm will handle all of the legal matters on your behalf, while you focus on your recovery.

Head-On Collisions

Head-on collisions occur when two vehicles collide front-end to front-end. These accidents often lead to catastrophic injuries, such as broken bones, internal organ damage, and fatalities. By filing a personal injury claim, you can receive damage awards for medical expenses, lost wages, emotional trauma, pain and suffering, and more.

Remember, I work on a contingency fee basis, which means I only get paid if you win your injury claim.

Roll-Over Accidents

This type of accident involves a vehicle overturning onto its side or roof. Often times, this occurs when one driver is trying to avoid another driver who is being reckless on the road. An accident like this can result in serious harm, including spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and crush injuries. If a negligent driver was at fault, call me to discuss your claim.

Remember, the insurance adjuster will do whatever he/she can do to minimize the insurance company’s expense. This means they make it difficult to recover compensation without the help of an injury lawyer. I’ll battle the insurance company because I have your best interests at heart.

Hit-and-Run Accidents

Hit-and-run accidents are defined as a driver leaving the scene of an accident without stopping to exchange information or render assistance. It is important to look around and ask any witnesses for information. Victims of hit-and-run accidents may face challenges in identifying the at-fault driver. Hit and run auto accidents leave victims hurt and angry.

Birth injuries

Medical Negligence

Healthcare providers must provide optimal care during pregnancy, labor, and delivery because medical negligence can result in serious birth injuries. Examples include failure to monitor the baby’s vital signs, improper use of delivery instruments, or delayed emergency interventions. When medical negligence is the cause of the injury, it’s important to file a lawsuit against the liable party. This may be the healthcare provider and the hospital system. They need to be held accountable for their negligence. It is the only way to ensure we only have the best medical professionals in our community.

Fetal Distress

Fetal distress occurs when the baby’s oxygen supply is compromised during labor and delivery. This can lead to serious birth injuries, such as hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) or cerebral palsy. Parents may explore if medical negligence or improper monitoring of fetal distress contributed to their child’s injuries. If parent’s suspect negligence contributed to their baby’s injury, you have to call me.

Inadequate Prenatal Care

Prenatal care is very important and any missed screenings, tests, or follow-up appointments, can result in undiagnosed conditions or complications that lead to serious birth injuries. If you or your baby had any issues during the pregnancy or birth, and you suspect it was because of inadequate prenatal care, you need to call me about your personal injury case.

Premature Birth

When a baby is born before reaching full term, it can increase the risk of serious birth injuries due to underdeveloped organs and systems. These are very serious issues, which, if they were the fault of a healthcare professional, a personal injury lawsuit is warranted.

The birth of a child is exciting for you, and your whole family. When injuries occur during the process, it can be devastating. As an experienced personal injury lawyer, I will help you hold those the negligent medical professionals responsible.

Dog Bites

Dog bites are one of the most common types of pet attacks. Dog bites can result in serious injuries, including deep puncture wounds, tissue damage, infection, and even psychological trauma in some cases.

Medical Injuries (Negligence and Malpractice)

Surgical Errors

Surgical errors occur when healthcare providers make mistakes during surgery. Examples include operating on the wrong body part, leaving surgical instruments inside the patient, or performing the wrong procedure. If this has happened, you have your own personal injury claim, and should call me to take care of the legal process.

Medication Mistakes

You may be a personal injury victim if a healthcare professional prescribes the wrong medication, administers the incorrect dosage, or fails to account for drug interactions Medication mistakes can have serious effects on the patient.

Why You Need Insurance

If you purchased insurance with the expectation that bad things do happen to good people, then you are ahead of the game. Your planning ahead may have just saved you a world of misery. The fact is, even if you are not to blame for your injury – which I strongly believe you are not to blame at all! – you still need insurance to protect yourself. Not only will it protect you from any potential claims that may arise against you, it’ll also help protect your mental health and save you from the stress of wondering where your money will come from when the bills start to pile up.

And yes, there will be a lot of medical bills. If you are unable to work due to your serious injury, that will make it even harder for you. Doctor’s appointments, medical bills, and rehabilitation are not free.

What if someone you loved had a serious injury, what do you do then? If the family breadwinner is severely injured and unable to work or (God forbid) they lost their life, what does that mean for their dependents? Nobody ever wants to have to think about that. Nobody ever wants to spend a moment of their time trying to imagine life without their soulmate, the person they love more than anyone else in the world. Having proper life insurance can help protect your family in the event of a serious injury that robs you of your life. I know it’s a hard choice to make, but it is so important. A simple life insurance plan can be exactly what your family needs to help them get back on their feet if they ever lose you.
