Accidents can happen
to anyone at any time in any place by many different causes. They can range from a slip, a fall, motor accident, being hit by falling debris from a construction site and many others. Accidents can be Fatal or non-fatal, causing minor to sever injuries depending on the nature of incident. A report from the World Health organization (WHO) shows that approximately 3,400 people worldwide die on the roads every day, while tens of millions of people are injured or disabled from accidents on the road every year. These include people of all ages who are pedestrians, cyclists drivers and other road users.
Whereas this data accounts
for accidents occurring on the road, millions of people suffer serious injuries from places other than the road such as places of work, schools, parks and recreational places. According to Aurenda, a company that specializes in reducing the financial and human cost of injury in the work place, work place injuries can be placed into five types and that these are by far the commonest and are all caused by human error. They include: ‘Slips, trips, and trips’, motor vehicle crashes, accidents resulting from manual labor, overuse injuries like low back pain, and burns.
If you have been involved
in any form of accident and sustained serious injury, you might be entitled to compensation, through legal claim. And yet there is no guarantee that your medical bills will be effectively covered by the party at fault, or that you will be justly compensated. It is possible to negotiate a personal injury settlement without the help of a lawyer, but most insurance companies through their legal advisors have mastered techniques of minimizing settlement claims in injury cases. You will thus be at a disadvantage engaging in this negotiation on your own, and may end up settling for much less than you actually deserve. Hiring a personal injury attorney can help you get the most from your claim.
