Traumatic accidents are an out of the ordinary experience for most people, so when they do occur, it may be tempting to simply to forget about the incident and move on.
However, this can have dire consequences for you. It may not be today or tomorrow, but weeks or months from now, that you may experience post traumatic stress issues or start to feel the effects of an injury.
If that were to occur, it could prevent you from working, or require ongoing medical care. That’s why consulting a personal injury lawyer after an accident is such a good idea. It can ensure your rights are protected and save you a lot of trouble down the line.
While lawyers do not have to get involved in every case, there are many types of cases where their services prove to be beneficial.
Being in a Motor Vehicle Accident
There are all kinds of scenarios that are classified under “car accident.”
When people are involved, such as drivers, cyclists, or pedestrians, they need to see a medical professional, so they can assess their injuries and if there is a possibility for long-term effects.
Any potential settlement money will be determined based on how serious the injuries are, as well as how significantly they impact the person’s job and everyday life. If you have pain and suffering and you are no longer able to do your job, you need a lawyer to protect your rights and get you the compensation you deserve.
If injuries or death occurred in the accident, you need to hire a personal injury lawyer in Hamilton because the parties involved, as well as their family and friends, will endure emotional trauma and possibly loss of companionship.
Filing Claim Submissions
Filing a claim with your insurance company is not as simple or easy a task as many think. There are many things that can go awry when done on your own.
And it can be a tricky affair. If you accidentally miscommunicate or do not clearly communicate details about the extent of your medical injuries – or simply tell them you currently feel fine – they sometimes will use that against you later on to deny your claim and withhold a payout.
As awful as it is to contemplate, some insurance companies can also minimize compensation to accident victims by offering a large one-time sum when, in reality, the insurance company should be paying on an ongoing basis. Most people are unaware that injuries can take months and even years to develop, and sometimes even longer to heal.
Personal injury lawyers can help you avoid these types of hassles and headaches.
Enduring a Medical Mystery
We understand that medical staff are under a lot of strain and really are miracle workers in many respects. Our personal injury lawyers in Guelph certainly do not set out to intentionally shoulder someone with all the blame. That said, if you’re a patient who believes that they’ve been the victim of medical malpractice, you need our help.
Medical staff are human, and thus can make mistakes. Accidents, such as birth injuries, can be the result of clerical errors and or physical harm. Additionally, medical practitioners are not always personable and a few may not properly uphold their duty of care to their patients.
If you think a member of the medical staff is neglecting your loved one, speak with a personal injury lawyer before the situation worsens.
