Automobile Accidents

Statistics reveal most automobile accidents are caused by recklessness, negligence and distracted drivers. Using excessive speed, drinking and driving, cell phone use and road rage, all contribute to the high rate of accidents on our highways. Driver error is responsible for ninety-five per cent of all automobile accidents. Mechanical error and poor road conditions account for the remaining number. There are over six million automobile accidents every year in this country.

Automobile accidents can range from fender-benders to head-on collisions, rear-end collisions or multi-vehicle pile-ups. An automobile can be involved in a roll-over accident or hit a stationary object like a tree or wall. An automobile accident can involve a pedestrian, or bicycle, a motorcycle or a train.

Automobile accidents have the capacity to inflict devastating injuries, permanent disability and even death. The outcome of these accidents is physically and financially devastating not only to the victims but families left behind to cope in the case of a fatality.

Surgical Error

Surgical malpractice causes an overwhelming number of deaths in this country every year. Surgical malpractice refers to the failure of a surgeon to provide adequate treatment to their patients which then results in injury or death.

Healthcare providers often have to make quick decisions during surgery. When a mistake occurs, the patient on the operating table may suffer permanent disabilities or even death. When a surgical error occurs and causes a serious injury or death, the patient and the family should not have to pay emotionally and financially for the damages that they suffer.

Surgical errors can occur when the generally accepted standard of care requirements are not met. This could mean a wrong surgical procedure is performed, surgery is performed on the wrong limb, medical instruments are left inside the patient or a failure to recognize when things are not going as well as they should occurs. Patients and their families have a difficult time knowing if a surgical error is responsible for the poor outcome or unsuccessful surgery.

Insurance Law

An insurance policy is like a contract between you and the insurance company. Both parties must follow the terms of the contract and act in good faith. An insurance company refusing to pay a legitimate claim may be considered a breach of contract on the part of the insurance company.

Insurance companies very often look for ways to get out of paying claims. After reading your policy, if you feel your insurance company is not providing the coverage you paid for or you feel the insurance company acted in bad faith because nothing in your policy states a claim would be denied for the reason they gave you, you need to take legal action without delay.

You can file a lawsuit to recover damages that you feel should have been paid on your claim and any additional expenses that came with the process of suing the insurance company, such as attorney fees and court costs.
