Related. That’s an alarming number when you take into account that it is generally the passengers of the vehicle the drunk driver hit who suffer the most serious injuries. Our Orlando drunk driving accident attorney understands the legal and medical ramifications of a serious, alcohol related accident and represents the victims who have suffered at the hands of someone else’s carelessness and negligence.
Wrongful Death
A catastrophic injury, such as wrongful death, stroke or paralysis obviously has enormous impact on the injured person and their family. The physical disability, emotional trauma, and resulting financial hardship are usually unpredictable and unimaginable.
Traffic Violations
In a majority of car accidents that cause injuries, negligence is a contributing factor. Negligence is defined as a person’s failure to use necessary care. Negligence in the form of aggressive and reckless driving behaviors is the primary cause of thousands of car accidents every year that result in injuries and wrongful deaths.
Misdemeanors
Government anti-drunk-driving laws have changed the legally intoxicated BAC (blood alcohol content) level from 0.10 to 0.08. The intoxicated driver loses their license (temporarily), faces fines and the possibility of incarceration. However, the offense is still considered only a misdemeanor, which in many cases will only temporarily deter the offender from repeating the offense at a later date.
Severe injury can result when a property owner fails to repair dangerous conditions. When facing financial hardships associated with costly medical bills and lost income, you should consider hiring an experienced premises liability attorney who can make sure your rights are protected.
Property Damage
Insurance companies have a proven record of trying to minimize settlements offered to victims. It is possible that your uninsured motorist coverage will help pay for a portion of your medical expenses and property damage, but in many cases it will not cover all of your injuries.
A personal injury claim is a claim for injuries that is commonly based on the negligent conduct of someone other than the victim. If an innocent party is injured due to the unreasonable conduct of another person or entity, the party at fault is legally responsible for the damage. The injuries caused by the negligence a person or entity may result in catastrophic injury, lifelong disability, rehabilitation needs and unnecessary suffering.
Medical Malpractice
Hospitals may be held accountable for the negligent actions of their employees and agents. Hospital employees or agents may include physicians, nurses, technicians, aides and administrative personnel. The most common theory of liability against a hospital is based on the failure of nursing personnel to provide reasonable care to a patient. The patient may have a valid medical malpractice claim if the failure to provide reasonable care causes an injury to the patient.
