When do you need a personal attorney?
Car accidents
With more than 40,000 dying each year in this nation because of automobile and truck collisions, it is no surprise that car accidents are a prime source of personal injury cases. Causes that rate near the top are: rubbernecking, cell phone and smart phone use, driver fatigue, detracting passengers and changing the radio station.
Motorcycle and Bicycle accidents
Without the protection a car offers – for the driver and passengers – motorcyclists and bicyclists can suffer extreme personal damage or death due to a collision. Tampa Bay’s warm weather lends itself to thousands of motorcycles sharing the roads with cars and trucks. Of all Florida traffic-related fatalities in 2011, nearly 19% involved a motorcycle.
Accidents caused by Trucks
A painted yellow stripe on a road hardly protects a car from a 10-40 ton truck that suddenly goes out of control – rear ending or T-boning a car, or jackknifing and involving multiple vehicles. Driver fatigue, maintenance negligence and overloading are real road issues, with the truck often winning.
In each of these disabling injury examples, Chadwick & Chadwick is ready to help. Just call 813-264-1500.
Workplace injuries and Construction accidents
If you have hurt on the job or driving for your employer, Workers’ Compensation and the employer’s insurance may not be enough to cover your costs and losses. Worse yet, your claim may be delayed or denied to protect others’ interests.
Elder abuse or neglect
Elder abuse usually occurs where the senior lives: in the home of a relative or in an institutional setting, especially long-term care facilities. More than 500,000 reports of abuse against elderly persons in the U.S. reach authorities annually, and millions more cases go unreported.
Dog bites and animal attacks
Florida law gives you a resource when a dog has attacked you. Dog owners are accountable for bites and property damage. Dog bite victims, often children, face costing bills from necessary medical procedures and therapy in dealing with the trauma. The worst attacks can cause death.
Chadwick & Chadwick are strategic and can be as aggressive as needed to successfully bring compensation in these personal injury misfortunes. Call toll-free 813-264-1500, for consultation and resolution.
Catastrophic injuries
Some injuries can result in extensive medical and rehabilitation procedures – like brain injuries, spinal cord damage or paralysis. Some cause permanent disabilities. It is not uncommon for these injuries to drive up mounting medical bills. If you have been injured and are having trouble paying your medical bill, you should consult a personal injury attorney.
Medical malpractice
If you have been injured by a doctor or medical professional that has violated standard medical practice, it is recommended that you consult a qualified personal injury attorney – even if you signed a release.
Wrongful death
When the absolute worst has happened, grieving family members have legal rights. If your loss is the result of someone else’s reckless or negligent behavior, you need expert help in receiving appropriate compensation. Monetary compensation can never heal the wound of losing a loved one, but a settlement can help ease the financial burden the family bares.
Chadwick & Chadwick, a trustworthy Tampa Bay legal firm, has successful experiences in many other personal injury claims: Slip, Trip and Fall accidents, Dangerous property and buildings, Defective products, Sexual assaults, and Drunk driver accidents – to name but a few more.
