Personal injuries happen every day to unsuspecting victims. Many of these injuries happen during automobile accidents on today’s busy highways. After a victim has received medical treatment, they should contact lawyers in Loveland to protect their interest during the case.
Attempting to negotiate a settlement with an insurance company is never recommended unless an experienced personal injury lawyer is involved. The personal injury lawyer knows what information the insurance company requires and will not provide them with any further information about a victim. The insurance company is always interested in identifying a victim’s weakness to force them to settle for less money.
Bodily Injury
Bodily injury from an accident can fall under one of two categories. Economic damages include past and future medical expenses, wage loss, and any additional expenses that are related to disfigurement or physical impairment. Non-economic damages include pain, suffering, inconvenience, physical impairment, loss of enjoyment of life, and similar losses.
Trucking Accidents
The size and weight of a tractor trailer truck that is involved in an accident, is the cause of serious injuries on the highway today. There are several factors that an attorney will have to investigate to determine who is responsible for the accident. Some factors could include poor truck maintenance, distraction, mechanical failure, truck driver fatigue, unsafe operation by the driver, and inexperience.
Serious Injuries
Serious injuries could include broken bones, brain damage, disfigurement, loss of a limb, and death. Serious injuries could leave an individual unable to work for the rest of their life and require extensive medical treatment and therapy. These types of injuries require additional compensation.
Wrongful Death
When a personal injury results in the wrongful death of an individual, a spouse, child, or parent can file a wrongful death action against the negligent party. Lawyers in Loveland will work closely with the family to achieve the highest settlement possible. Many factors are considered for compensation a family should be awarded for their loved one’s death.
