Negligencia

Description

If you have been injured due to someone else's negligence, you deserve to be compensated for the injuries you suffered. We can help you recover, whether it's a car accident, dog bite, fall, or workplace accident.

Car Accidents

An act of negligence can lead to many accidents. Any individual who negligently operates a vehicle may be required to pay for damages to an injured victim. Car accidents can include car accidents, boat accidents, motorcycle accidents, tractor-trailer accidents, and truck accidents. Any person who is injured by a drunk driver or a family member of someone who has been killed by a drunk driver may have wrongful death charges filed against the defendant.

Dog bite

If you or someone you know has been bitten by a dog, the state legislature has created strict liability for the dog owner for all damages resulting from the bite. Dog bites can leave scars and cause lasting emotional effects.

Slips and falls

Some companies have dangerous hallways, steps, walkways, and other hazardous locations that can result in injuries to people. People deserve to be compensated for the negligent acts of companies so they can recover medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Negligence in the workplace

Negligence in the workplace includes exposure to toxic chemicals, toxic molds, lead poisoning, defective lighting, failure to warn about defective property conditions, improperly maintained equipment, improperly maintained furniture or fixtures, abandoned or uncontrolled tree or tree growth, fallen limbs or trees , exposed ditches, broken ladders, foreign substances on the floor, whether sticky or slippery, and other dangerous premises conditions that business owners fail to warn about or correct.

Frequently Asked Questions

(Click on the question to see the answer.)

1. If I am involved in a car accident, what should I do?
If you, a family member or anyone else involved in the accident needs medical assistance, first contact the police, ambulance or fire brigade to obtain the necessary medical assistance. All drivers of vehicles have an obligation to exchange information with each other and with the police after an accident. This information should include: name, address, telephone number, registration number, vehicle registration information and vehicle insurance company information including address and telephone number. Make sure you carry all this important information with you when driving a vehicle.

If you have the means, take photographs of the accident scene to document the incident. The photographs should show the condition and damage to the vehicles. They should also show the cause of the accident, such as a damaged, unseen stop sign.

You must report the accident to your insurance company regardless of whether or not you were at fault for the accident.

2. What happens if I was working at the time of the accident?

You may be eligible for workers' compensation coverage regardless of whether or not you were at fault. Coverage depends on a number of factors. See the Workers' Compensation section for more information.

3. I was injured in an accident and I want to file a lawsuit for my injuries. What should I do?

There are several things you can do in the first few days and weeks after your accident to protect your right to compensation.

Write down as much information as you can about the accident as you remember it, writing down what happened before and immediately after. These lawsuits can take some time to complete and it will be important to have a record of the accident for later reference.
Documente las fechas de tratamiento, los costos y síntomas que haya presentado.
Take notes of any conversations you have had with the people involved in the accident or injury claim. In any case, what they say is very important and it is very important that this information is documented.
Preserve evidence of who caused the accident and the damage done by collecting physical evidence and taking photographs. There can never be too many photographs and documented evidence.
Locate people who witnessed the accident and who can help you prove your case. Get their personal information so you can contact them later.
Contact a personal injury attorney to evaluate and pursue your claim.

4. How do you reach a decision to reach an agreement or go to trial?

Our attorney will meet with you and review all settlement offers. The decision to accept or not is yours. We will help you evaluate the case and make an informed decision about the settlement, taking into account our years of experience and the best interest of you and your family.

5. How long can it take?

Although many cases settle before going to trial, it is not common for this to happen until both sides have prepared their case. Generally, lawsuits take about two years from the time they are filed for trial. There may be significant variations in both directions depending on the complexity of your case, court docket congestion, and other factors. We will keep you informed about your case so that you know the status of the case and when a resolution is possible.
