Many Accidents Can Lead To Personal Injury Claims

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that more than 2.3 million individuals sustain injuries in traffic-related accidents in a single year in the United States. Additionally, according to the National Safety Council (NSC), an estimated 8.9 million individuals visit emergency rooms each year to seek medical treatment after a slip, trip, or fall. These statistics indicate that accidents and injuries can happen to anyone and usually when you least expect it.

These accidents often happen because another party acted negligently. The negligent party should provide adequate compensation for all of your accident-related losses. In order to recover, you have the burden of proving their negligence in court. An experienced Boca Raton personal injury attorney at Lavalle Brown & Ronan, P.A. will understand the type of evidence and arguments required to prove negligence to ensure that you recover the maximum amount of compensation.

Injuries Can Result In Financial Losses And Other Challenges

The compensation you can obtain in your personal injury case will depend on the nature and severity of the injuries you sustained. Some of the injuries we commonly see in our clients include as follows:

• Back or neck injuries
• Soft tissue injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Paralysis
• Head trauma or skull fractures
• Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
• Major organ damage
• Internal bleeding
• Broken bones and fractures
• Crushed limbs
• Amputations
• Burns

Some of these injuries may heal quickly. However, expenses can add up as you may require medical treatment, prescription medication, and physical therapy. Additionally, you may be unable to work until your injury has healed, which can result in lost wages, loss of potential overtime, and employee benefits. You should not have to struggle to pay your bills because of these medical expenses and lost income and the negligent party should be held liable for your losses.

While some injuries can be minor, others can be catastrophic and accident victims can face enormous losses. Some injuries can require lengthy stays in the hospital, intensive care, and surgeries.  Accident victims with permanent injuries upon returning home may require extensive medical care and treatment, perhaps for the rest of their lives. These costs can add up to hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars very quickly and victims should have a qualified attorney who knows how to handle these high-dollar cases.

In addition to past and future medical costs, severe injuries can keep a victim from ever returning to work and earning a living again. Additionally, permanent injuries can cause significant challenges with daily activities and social interactions. Because of the substantial challenges personal injury victims face, they often lose the quality of life they once enjoyed and may develop emotional or psychological issues as a result. We know how to hold the negligent party liable for all of your injury-related losses, including financial and non-economic damages, pain and suffering, and loss of quality of life.
