Unfortunately, insurance companies do not always treat them fairly, and victims may need to fight to obtain maximum compensation. Damages available in these cases often include medical bills, the costs of future treatment, lost income, lost earning capacity, and pain and suffering. Getting these damages usually involves proving the liability of another driver. This means that the driver did not follow the safe driving practices that a reasonable person would have used behind the wheel. Sometimes experts can bolster a victim’s case. For example, a medical expert might describe the future treatment that the victim will require, or a vocational expert might describe the effect of their injuries on their earning capacity. Brain Injuries Brain injuries are some of the most serious and potentially life-changing types of injuries. Victims of these traumatic events struggle to overcome the physical issues that are related to this difficult condition. They also may face financial hardships that are associated with their inability to work and do basic daily tasks. Brain injuries can occur in a variety of accidents, such as slip and fall accidents, car accidents, medical malpractice, and construction accidents that involve falling from ladders and scaffolds. A victim needs not only skilled medical care but also a resourceful legal advocate who can fully assert their right to damages. In most cases, this involves showing negligence, which means that a person or entity failed to take the appropriate safety precautions in a certain situation, and this caused the victim’s injuries. However, some claims may be brought under a strict liability theory when defective products are involved, or under the New York Labor Law when an accident occurred on a construction site. Slip and Fall Slip and fall accidents often occur because a business owner, a residential property owner, or a municipality failed to adequately maintain certain property. These cases generally hinge on a notice requirement. This means that the property owner (or another party in control of the premises) was aware that there was a dangerous condition, or they should have been aware that there was a dangerous condition. In many instances, the owner created the dangerous condition. When these types of situations occur, such as ice on the sidewalk, a broken sidewalk, a broken stair, or a leak causing a slippery condition, the owner should be held responsible and compensate the injured person for their medical bills and other costs and losses, as well as their pain and suffering. Truck Accidents Truck accidents are some of the most horrific accidents that you will see on the road. This is largely because of the size of the vehicle and the weight of the cargo that they are carrying. These types of accidents often result in fatalities, brain injuries, spinal injuries, or significant surgical procedures. Truck accident cases tend to be complex because truck drivers and trucking companies must follow state and federal regulations that are specific to their industry. If you can show that a driver or a company violated a regulation, and this caused your accident, you likely can recover damages. Even if the trucking company did nothing wrong, you may be able to hold it liable for a driver’s carelessness if you can show an employment relationship between the company and the driver. Back and Spinal Injuries Back and spinal injuries can be life-altering and can be some of the most painful injuries that can be thrust upon a victim. In some cases, they can result in paralysis if they are severe or if they are not treated properly. When these types of injuries occur, the most important thing is to get immediate medical attention to address the situation. If this type of injury happens as a result of a car accident, there is insurance in place to assure you that the first $50,000 of your medical bills are covered, so you can get treatment immediately. In other cases, such as slip and fall accidents, insurance policies provide med pay coverage, which can help you get immediate treatment. Medical Malpractice When patients see doctors and visit hospitals, they are hoping to be healed. Unfortunately, with the rising costs and the pressures of the profession, there are times when doctors or hospitals do not uphold the proper medical standards and injure their patients. Victims of medical malpractice may be left with permanent disabilities, and sometimes they even suffer tragic deaths. A patient or their family should get surgical or other medical records as soon as possible after a suspected incident of malpractice. Independent medical personnel can evaluate those records to determine whether the health care provider failed to meet the standards of their profession, and whether this caused harm to a patient. Since medical malpractice cases are sophisticated, expert testimony is generally essential to proving liability.
