4 Common Types of Accident Claims
Bill Allen | October 14, 2019 | Central Florida Personal Injury Lawyer
Accidents happen every day. Oftentimes, accidents are entirely preventable and a party may be at fault for causing the accident, directly or indirectly. If you or a loved one have been injured in an accident, it is important to consult an experienced and knowledgeable personal injury lawyer. This is an attorney who helps people who have been injured in accidents. Here are four of the most common types of accidents in which someone would want to consult an accident attorney.
1. Slip and Fall
Slip and fall accidents account for almost ⅓ of all accidents in the workplace. If you or a loved one have suffered an injury in a slip and fall accident, it is important to know what to do next. The first step after receiving medical treatment is to speak with an experienced attorney. If the opportunity is there, they can investigate the area of your fall and determine if the landlord or business owner exercised the property ‘duty of care’ for your safety.
2. Automobile Accidents
Automobile accidents are responsible for thousands of injuries every year. Car accidents are a frequent occurrence in the Gainesville and Ocala areas; it seems that every day there are reports of an automobile accident on the news or perhaps you have even witnessed the repercussions of a collision on a nearby street. When you are injured in a car accident, you need a qualified auto accident injury attorney to handle your case. Your attorney will work directly with the insurance companies on your behalf or file a suit if necessary to ensure that you receive the best representation possible for your case.
3. Workplace Accidents
Workplace accidents happen all of the time. Thanks to workers’ compensation, many workers can get the financial compensation they need to heal after an accident. Benefits are awarded to injured workers through your employer’s insurance company and you cannot sue your employer directly for negligence. However, if there are issues with your workers’ compensation, a reliable and dedicated attorney will fight on your behalf to ensure you receive all of the compensation you deserve. They will assess the facts of your particular case and assess your claim to determine the nature and amount of any compensation owed to you.
4. Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice can occur at any time. While most medical professionals are knowledgeable and skilled, they are still prone to making mistakes. When doctors make mistakes, they can seriously injure or damage their patients. With an experienced medical malpractice attorney on your side, you can receive proper compensation for your injury. Your attorney may be able to prove that a patient-physician relationship existed, that the medical practitioner was negligent and that the negligence was the cause of the injury.
