Examples Of Personal Injury Accidents A Bloomingdale Personal Injury Lawyer Can Handle For You

There are many ways an accident can occur, leading to a personal injury. For example, a lack of safety gear or worker training can lead to accidental drownings at public pools. Poisonings – one of the leading causes of accidental deaths in the U.S. – can be caused by poor product packaging or labeling or storage in unsafe containers. Slip and fall hazards from road debris, road damage, poor lighting, and worker errors can occur on worksites, private homes, and retail/business premises. Driving errors and negligence such as distraction, drug use, inexperience, aggression, and recklessness can lead to a motor vehicle accident and serious, long-term physical injuries.

While we may assume that all parties involved took the necessary steps required to prevent accidents from happening, oversights and errors can still lead to serious accidents. Consider the following:

  • A delivery company forces its drivers to work more hours every week than is safe.
  • A nursing home hires inexperienced workers who do not know how to care for vulnerable, elderly patients.
  • A business skirts safe operating mandates and leaves dangerous machinery or equipment unsecured or unattended.
  • A product manufacturer does not thoroughly test a new product and sells a dangerous product in the market.

For each situation above, it is clear that if the actions of the at-fault party in question lead to an accident, the at-fault party can be held liable for the losses and damages they cause to innocent victims. A qualified Bloomingdale personal injury lawyer from our firm will work toward securing whatever compensation you are entitled to if you are injured or suffer losses of any kind in a similar accident.

Compensable Damages An Experienced Bloomingdale Personal Injury Lawyer Can Pursue On Your Behalf

Any losses or damages that can be linked to your accident can be included in your personal injury claim or lawsuit. These include the following.

Medical Bills: If you as a victim must undergo testing or treatments of any kind or receive medical care (including surgeries and therapy), you can hold the at-fault party and/or their insurer responsible for your medical expenses. Medical bills can quickly add up, and medical expenses are the leading cause of bankruptcy in America. This is why you must seek full and fair compensation from the at-fault party for your medical expenses.

Lost Income or Earning Ability: Personal injuries can prevent you from working. In some cases, you may be unable to work for weeks or months, or you may be unable to perform tasks you used to perform with ease before your accident. You can seek compensation for lost income if you are unable to work because of an accident. In case you suffered catastrophic injuries and are unable to return to work, an experienced Bloomingdale personal injury lawyer from the Epstein Law Firm, P.A. will calculate your estimated lifetime earnings so that you can file for compensation for the same from the at-fault party identified in your claim.

Pain, Suffering, and Mental Anguish: You can include non-economic losses and damages such as pain, suffering, and mental/emotional trauma in your claim. These personal injuries can be debilitating and can cost significant amounts to treat.

Wrongful Death: Many accidents cause fatalities, in which case you can file a wrongful death claim and seek wrongful death damages from the at-fault party. These damages can include funeral, burial, and cremation expenses. Eligible family members such as surviving spouses, children, parents, or siblings may be entitled to some portion of the deceased’s wrongful death payout.
