Personal Injury
All around the world, people head out in search of excitement and adventure. Many of us partake in mountain climbing, skydiving, and other toe-curling, adrenaline pumping activities that can cause bodily harm or personal injuries. A person participating in these acts accepts these dangers because the rush just feels so good. However, some hazards and risks surround us every day. For instance, no one expects to spill coffee on their lap while driving to work, but it happens, and the single action can set off a chain of events with life-altering consequences. The burning sensation on the driver's legs can divert their attention from the road, cause the steering wheel to become jerked one way, or another, and result in a vehicle crash.
Not only is the person left with self-inflicted, non-intentional wounds from their beverage, but the party in the other car can receive various damages too. Typical injuries from automotive accidents include...
• Whiplash or other neck ailments
• Concussions and more severe traumatic brain injuries
• Lacerations, broken bones and contusions
• Temporary or permanent paralysis
• Wrongful death
Thanks to today's modern safety features like airbags, anti-lock brakes, and seat belts, many people can walk away from the incident without a scratch. Therefore, legal action is not always required. However, if residents of St. Petersburg sustain damages, and believe that driver negligence or recklessness is to blame for the injuries, they may be entitled to a fair amount of compensation. Medical bills pile up quickly, especially if the wound makes a person miss time from work. Insurance companies often attempt to give victims the runaround, which can bring the entire process to what seems like a crawl. Contact our attorney for a free case review to see where your claim stands. Our firm has an upstanding reputation in the legal, and insurance communities, which is good news for the clients that we represent. Instead of letting us get in front of a jury with the injured party, the organizations often settle out of court. Don't seek out an injury, but if one finds you, don't hesitate to contact our winning and professional team.
We understand that time is of the essence in these matters. Although personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning that they do not get paid until a settlement becomes reached, necessities like water, lights, and food can't wait. These types of restrictions are what the insurance companies are counting on, and by making the case linger on, and on, they hope the plaintiff will settle for a less than fair monetary amount. Allow us the opportunity to show you what sets our firm apart from the rest. Our injury attorney has represented members of the St. Petersburg community for years, with great success, and he will be more than happy to fight with your best interests in mind as well.
Avoid eating or drinking in the car, whenever possible, as these actions can distract your driving. With so much noise surrounding cell phones and technology, people often forget that other everyday conveniences have hindered driving abilities for years. It is not uncommon to see a person steering with their knee while holding a cup and burger in each of their hands. The rat-race called life keeps our motors going, almost non-stop, from the time a person wakes up until they go to sleep again. So, take a few moments out of your day to sit down and enjoy lunch. With any luck, the act will prevent you from being involved in an accident and sustaining damages.
