I Slipped And Fell In A Restaurant. What Should I Do?

I Slipped And Fell In A Restaurant. What Should I Do?

by | Aug 27, 2018 | Blog

As its name suggests, a slip and fall occurs when someone is injured after slipping and losing their footing. These  can happen anywhere, including at home or while out in public. Many slip and falls occur in restaurants, and it’s not hard to see why. Restaurants get more foot traffic than many other public places, and the walkways are narrower since they are typically surrounded by tables and chairs. Restaurants are also more likely to have greasy or slippery floors, which can cause guests to slip and injure themselves.

 

Because it is common for slip and falls to occur in restaurants, it’s important for you to know what to do if you are ever involved in one of these mishaps while dining out. Follow these steps:

Seek Medical Attention

The first thing on your mind after a slip and fall should be your well being. If you are seriously injured, it’s important to remain where you are and call for emergency medical assistance. Do not attempt to stand up or move until help has arrived. If someone tries to help you up, politely tell them that you would rather wait until the professionals have arrived before attempting to move.

If you are not seriously injured, it’s still important to seek medical attention. Visit a doctor or emergency room immediately after leaving the scene of the incident–even if you do not believe you are badly hurt. Why? Symptoms of an injury may not appear for hours or days following a fall. If you wait until symptoms appear, it may be harder to treat your injuries. For this reason, it’s best to have a doctor examine you immediately following the event so they can identify and treat injuries right away.

Report the Slip and Fall 

Before leaving the scene of the fall, find someone who is in charge of the restaurant so you can tell them what happened. But, it’s important to watch what you say when speaking to the manager or owner of the restaurant. Do not go into details about your condition or the amount of pain you are experiencing as a result of the fall. You should also avoid discussing anything that you were doing that could have contributed to the slip and fall. For example, if you were distracted by your phone when you slipped, leave this detail out when talking about the fall with the manager or owner.

Make sure to ask them to put the report in writing so you can have a copy. Hold onto this copy so you have proof that the incident happened and that the restaurant was immediately made aware of it.

Document Evidence From the Scene of the Fall

Return to where the fall occurred and document as much evidence as possible before leaving. Take photographs of the exact location so you can prove that the floors were wet or that there was an obstacle in your path that caused your fall. It’s best to take photographs up close and from afar so you can capture as much of the location as possible.

You will also need to take pictures of any visible injuries such as cuts or bruises. It’s helpful to also take pictures of the clothing you were wearing at the time of the fall–especially your shoes. The defendant may argue that you fell as a result of your footwear or loose clothing, but these pictures can prove them wrong.

Look around the scene of the fall to see if there are any security cameras pointed in your direction. If you see any cameras, take pictures of them in case the restaurant owner destroys them and denies that they were ever there. You should also note the exact location of the cameras so you can request the footage.

Talk to Witnesses

There are usually plenty of people around when someone falls in a restaurant. If anyone saw you fall, it’s important to ask for their contact information before leaving the restaurant. Jot down their full names and phone numbers and ask them what they saw. Do not discuss your condition or the events leading up to the slip and fall with these witnesses–keep the conversation short and sweet. Be sure to thank them for their help and let them know that an attorney may get in touch with them in the near future.

Seek Legal Representation

Contact an attorney as soon as possible after leaving the scene. Be sure to find a personal injury attorney that has experience representing slip and fall victims. Slip and fall cases are complex, so you will need an attorney who has a history of winning compensation for their clients in these difficult cases.

Make sure your attorney has copies of all of the evidence you have gathered so far, including photos, witness statements, reports, and medical records. Then, explain what happened to your attorney in as much detail as possible. An attorney will need to know all of the facts in order to do their job.

Your attorney will then launch an investigation into the incident to determine who is liable. After liability is determined, your attorney can begin negotiating for compensation with the at-fault party’s insurance company. If the insurance company is unwilling to make a fair offer, your attorney has the option of filing a lawsuit and taking your case to court.

What Happens If My Child is Injured in a School Bus Crash?

What Happens If My Child is Injured in a School Bus Crash?

by | Jun 18, 2018 | Blog

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), riding a school bus is the safest way for your child to get to school. This is because school buses are heavily regulated and designed to be safer than the vast majority of passenger vehicles on the road. However, crashes still happen.

The NHTSA estimates that between four to six children die while riding on a school bus every year, and many others suffer non-fatal injuries. If your child is injured while riding the bus to or from school, it’s important to understand your legal options.

Liability For School Bus Crashes

A number of parties could be liable for the injuries sustained in a bus crash, which is one reason why these cases are so complex.

Bus crashes are often caused by the bus driver’s negligence, meaning the bus driver is liable for the victims’s injuries. The employer of the bus driver can also be held liable in situations like these where the driver’s negligence directly led to a crash.

It is also possible that the bus crash was caused by a defective part, such as faulty brakes or bad tires. In this case, the bus driver cannot be blamed for the crash. Instead, the fault lies with the manufacturer of the defective part.

Most school bus crashes involve other vehicles on the road. When a bus and vehicle collide, the fault could lie with either the bus driver or the driver of the passenger vehicle. For example, if the other driver runs a red light and collides with the school bus, the other driver is liable for the victims injuries.

Taking Legal Action Against School Districts

Most school buses are owned and operated by the school district. As a result, the school district could be liable if the bus driver’s negligence causes a crash. However, the school district is a government entity, and recovering compensation from a government entity for a personal injury is not easy.

The legal doctrine of sovereign immunity protects government entities from civil liability under most circumstances. But, the immunity is waived in most cases where a government employee, such as a school bus driver, is responsible for a traffic crash.

The process for filing a claim against a government entity is different from the standard process for filing a personal injury claim. Before a lawsuit is filed, the victim must serve a notice of intent to sue to the attorney general. The attorney general will review the notice to determine if the sovereign immunity should be waived or not. If the attorney general believes the school district is protected by sovereign immunity, the lawsuit cannot proceed.

Victims have two years from the date of the crash to file a claim against the school district, so it’s important to move fast to ensure you do not miss this deadline. Even though you have two years to file the claim, you must notify the government entity of the crash much sooner. If you suffered more than $1,000 in damages and would like to take legal action against the government, you are required to notify the government entity of the crash within 72 hours. You do not need to serve the notice of intent to sue within 72 hours–you simply need to let them know the crash occurred.

The school district could be ordered to pay both economic and non-economic damages to the victims. Economic damages cover medical expenses and lost wages, whereas non-economic damages cover pain and suffering. Government entities do not pay punitive damages, which means victims of school bus crash will not be awarded punitive damages if they take legal action against the school district.

Taking Legal Action Against Other Drivers

If another driver was responsible for the crash, it is much easier to take legal action and recover compensation for your injuries. The at-fault driver’s insurance company would be responsible for compensating the victims for their injuries, but only if it can be proven that their policyholder was to blame. A personal injury attorney can build a convincing case to prove liability using evidence such as police reports, witness testimony, and medical records.

Once liability has been proven, your attorney can start negotiating with the at-fault driver’s insurance company to reach a fair settlement. If the insurance company is unwilling to offer a fair settlement, your attorney can file a lawsuit and take the case to court. However, most personal injury cases are settled in negotiations outside of the courtroom.

Taking Legal Action Against Manufacturers

If a school bus crash was caused by a defective part, the manufacturer of the part is most likely liable for the victims injuries. Therefore, the victims will need to file a product liability lawsuit against the manufacturer. Product liability cases are extremely complex. An attorney will need to work with experts to build a case that clearly shows the part was defective and that defect directly caused the crash. If this can be proven, the manufacturer would be responsible for compensating victims for their medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Contact An Attorney Immediately After the Crash

It is in your family’s best interests to contact an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible after a school bus crash. An attorney will immediately begin investigating the crash to determine how it was caused and who is responsible. You can focus solely on helping your child recover from this tragic experience while your attorney handles the rest.

Medical Malpractice Tips: 5 Things To Do If You Suspect Medical Malpractice

Medical Malpractice Tips: 5 Things To Do If You Suspect Medical Malpractice

by | Jun 11, 2018 | Blog

A team of researchers at the prestigious Johns Hopkins University recently concluded that about 10% of all deaths in the U.S. are due to medical errors. This means over 250,000 people are killed as a result of medical malpractice every year, and countless others suffer non-fatal injuries. Because medical malpractice occurs so frequently, it is important to understand exactly what to do if you are ever a victim. Here are the top 5 things you should do if you suspect medical malpractice:

Find Another Doctor

Medical malpractice victims should make their health their first priority. If you believe a doctor has made an error while diagnosing or treating you, it’s important to find another doctor as soon as possible to correct the medical mistake. The second doctor will most likely need to review your records and perform tests before diagnosing you. Then, the doctor can begin treatment to undo the damage caused by the first doctor. If the first doctor made a treatment error, the second doctor will focus on treating the complications caused by this error. However, if the first doctor misdiagnosed you, the second doctor will simply focus on providing the appropriate treatment for your condition.

Request Medical Records

The next item on your to-do list should be requesting copies of your medical records. These records will play an important role in your medical malpractice case, so it’s important to obtain a copy as soon as possible. The records will contain information regarding the symptoms you were experiencing, your medical history, tests performed, and medications prescribed. This information can often be used to prove that the doctor committed medical malpractice. For example, let’s say you visit the emergency room because you are experiencing chest pain. Your medical record clearly states that there is a history of heart conditions in your family, but the healthcare provider still does not perform tests to determine if you are having a heart attack. The doctor diagnoses you with anxiety, but later you determine you were actually having a heart attack . In this case, the records would show that the doctor was negligent because they failed to review the patient’s medical history and perform the appropriate tests.

It’s best to request these records prior to filing a medical malpractice claim so your healthcare provider does not attempt to change your information. It is illegal to falsify medical records, however this does not prevent some doctors from doing it anyways to avoid liability.

Keep A Journal

If you believe you are a medical malpractice victim, start keeping a journal where you can write down notes on your health. Describe the symptoms you are experiencing as a result of the medical error. You should also explain how the medical error has impacted your life. For example, if you have had to take time off of work to undergo treatment as a result of the error, jot this information down. Try to write in the journal everyday so there is a record of exactly what you endured because of the doctor’s mistake. The entries in this journal can be used as evidence in your medical malpractice case, so write in as much detail as possible.

Contact An Attorney

Medical malpractice cases are incredibly complex, so it is strongly recommended that you hire an experienced attorney instead of attempting to represent yourself. Look for a personal injury attorney who has successfully handled medical malpractice cases in the past. It’s best to schedule a consultation with the attorney prior to signing paperwork to make sure they are a good fit for your case. Scheduling a consultation also gives you an opportunity to ask the attorney questions and learn more about their practice.

Be as detailed as possible when explaining the situation to your attorney. Don’t leave any information out regardless of how insignificant it may seem. Be sure to provide the attorney you choose with all of the documentation related to your case–especially the medical records and journal. The attorney will then have enough information to start investigating the incident and gathering evidence of the medical error. If additional information is needed, the attorney will contact you. From this point forward, the attorney will handle the legal aspect of your case so you can focus solely on recovering from your injuries.

Avoid Making Contact With Other Parties

Your attorney should act as your main point of contact in the case, so there’s no need to speak with any other parties involved. Do not contact the healthcare providers or individuals at the healthcare facility to warn or threaten them about your medical malpractice claim. In fact, it’s best if you avoid contact with them altogether. You should also refrain from talking about the case on social media. Even if your account is private, it’s very possible the defendant could find out about your posts.

The defendant’s insurance company could attempt to contact you once the defendant is notified of the claim. If this happens, ask the insurance company to get in touch with your attorney. Do not speak to the insurance adjuster about the case or agree to answer any questions. Insurance adjusters will try to twist your words around and use them against you later on in the case, which is why it’s best to let an attorney talk to them instead.

If you believe you are a victim of medical malpractice, contact Trial Lawyers for Justice as soon as possible to schedule a consultation with our team. Our experienced personal injury attorneys will fight tirelessly to hold the negligent healthcare provider accountable for their mistakes. With our help, medical malpractice victims can recover compensation for their medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.

Top Summertime Injuries & How to Avoid Them

Top Summertime Injuries & How to Avoid Them

by | May 8, 2018 | Blog

The summer season is inching closer and closer. Summer is known for its warm weather and sunshine, but many people do not realize that summer is also the season of serious injuries. Here’s a look at some of the most common summertime safety threats:

Swimming Pool Injuries

There’s no better way to beat the heat than by jumping into a swimming pool. If you plan on taking a dip in a swimming pool this summer, it’s important to know how to protect yourself.

Many swimmers are seriously injured when they dive into the shallow end of the pool. To avoid this problem, be sure to look for signs that indicate the depth of the pool before diving in. You should also use caution when walking around the edge of the pool since these surfaces tend to be slippery. Never run–even if the surface appears to be dry.

If you are with children, keep an eye on them at all times. Even if children know how to swim, they are far more likely than adults to be injured or killed in swimming pool. For this reason, adults need to closely watch children who are near or in a swimming pool.

Traffic Crashes

Traffic crashes occur everyday, but there is usually an increase in crashes during the summer months. There are several possible explanations for this increase in collisions. First, a lot of people take time off to travel in the summer, so it’s possible that some of the drivers you see on the roads are from out-of-town. This means these drivers are not familiar with the area, so they may suddenly slam on the brakes to make a turn or drive slower or faster than legally permitted.

Kids are also out of school over the summer, so it’s possible that the increase in crashes is partly due to the number of inexperienced drivers on the road. Inexperienced drivers may not know how to quickly react to changes in their environment. Young drivers are also known for becoming easily distracted, which can be put other drivers in danger.

The best way to avoid getting into a car crash is to stay aware of your surroundings at all times. A car crash could occur in seconds, so taking your eyes off of the road for even a moment could lead to a disaster.

Boating Injuries

Many people spend their free time on the water during the summer, which is why there is usually a spike in boating incidents during this season. A boating injury can occur for many different reasons, including operator inattention or inexperience, speeding, mechanical failure, or hazardous conditions. Regardless of the cause, these incidents can lead to serious injuries. This is especially true if passengers are thrown into the water, which can cause brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and even death.

Luckily, there are several steps you can take to prevent boating injuries. First, never go out on the water without checking the weather forecast. Use good judgment when deciding whether or not it is safe to go boating given the forecast.

You should also avoid being in a boat with an irresponsible operator. If someone is not qualified to operate a boat, stay on shore instead of putting your life in their hands.

Before getting on the boat, make sure there is enough safety gear for every passenger. There should be a life jacket for every single person on the boat in addition to floatation devices. Having this gear could save you from drowning in the event of a mishap.

Bike Crashes

A lot of people enjoy riding bikes during the summer because of the beautiful weather. Biking is a great form of cardio exercise, but it can also be dangerous. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), about 800 people are killed in bicycle crashes every year.

These crashes are often caused by negligent drivers who are driving recklessly or not paying attention to the road. To protect yourself, it’s important to assume that other motorists on the road do not see you. Pay close attention to what other motorists are doing so you can quickly react if a car starts heading in your direction. There’s no way to completely eliminate the risk of being hit, which is why the NHTSA encourages all bicyclists to wear safety gear such as helmets and padding. This safety gear will not prevent crashes, but it will offer you some protection in the event you are hit.

Dog Bites

Dog bites occur more frequently in the summer season. This is because dog owners are more likely to take their pets on long walks during the summer than they are in the winter months, so there are more dogs out in the community. Plus, the warm weather can agitate dogs in the same way it can leave humans feeling uncomfortable and irritable.

To avoid a dog bite injury, it’s important to know how to read a dog’s body language. Some of the most common signs of aggression include stiff limbs, forward legs, curled lips, and visible teeth. All of these signs indicate that the dog feels threatened and is preparing to attack. A dog that tucks his tail, pushes his ears back, and lowers his body to the ground is most likely frightened. Sometimes, frightened dogs become submissive to avoid harm, while other fearful dogs choose to attack to protect themselves. It’s impossible to know predict how a dog will respond to fear, so it’s best to avoid dogs that seem frightened.

I Tripped in a Store. What Should I Do?

I Tripped in a Store. What Should I Do?

by | Apr 10, 2018 | Blog

Retailers are legally obligated to maintain safe conditions on their properties at all times to ensure their customers are not injured while shopping. But unfortunately, some retailers fail to fulfill this legal obligation. Customers can trip over a number of things inside a retail store, including items that have fallen off of the shelves, uneven flooring, torn carpeting, and product fixtures.

 

This can be devastating. Many victims suffer serious injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and broken bones. Can these victims take legal action to recover compensation for their injuries? Who can be held accountable? Here’s what you should know if you ever find yourself in this situation:

Who is Responsible For Trip and Fall Injuries?

Every trip and fall victim should be familiar with the legal concept of premises liability. The legal concept of premises liability states that a property owner is responsible for maintaining safe conditions on their property so their guests are safe at all times. If a property owner fails to do so, they can be held accountable for injuries that occur as a result of hazardous conditions on their property.

But, it’s important to understand that the law does not automatically hold property owners liable for every injury that is sustained on their property. To hold a property owner liable, the victim must be able to prove that the property owner’s negligence directly led to their injuries. The property owner can be held liable if any of these conditions are met:

  • The property owner, or one of the property owner’s employees, knew about the hazardous condition, but did not take action to fix it.
  • The property owner, or one of the property owner’s employees, caused the hazardous condition, but did not take action to fix it.
  • The property owner did not know about the hazardous condition, but they should have known since a reasonable property owner would have been aware of it.

For example, let’s say the property owner knew that the flooring needed to be replaced because it was torn and causing customers to lose their footing. If the carpeting was still not replaced even though the property owner knew this needed to be done, the property owner can be held liable for any injuries that occur as a result of this safety hazard.

What if the Retailer Does Not Own the Property?

Retailers often rent their retail space, which means they are not the owners of the property. In this scenario, a personal injury attorney must examine the details of the case to determine if the retailer or the landlord is responsible for your injuries.

Consider the torn flooring example mentioned above. The landlord is usually responsible for replacing their tenant’s flooring when it starts to tear. If the retailer never informed the landlord that the flooring needed to be replaced, the landlord may not be liable for this hazardous condition. In this case, the liability may fall on the retailer instead. However, if the retailer had informed the landlord that the flooring needed to be replaced, but the landlord failed to replace it, the landlord would be responsible.

The retailer could also be held responsible in other situations. For example, if someone trips on an item that has fallen off of the shelves or a fixture that is placed in the middle of the walkway, this is the retailer’s fault. These hazardous conditions are not related to issues with the structure or the property itself, so the landlord is usually not held liable.

It can be challenging to determine who is liable for a trip and fall victim’s injuries. Because of this, it’s in the victim’s best interests to work with an attorney who has the legal experience and resources to handle the complexities of the case.

How to Recover Compensation After A Trip and Fall

Trip and fall victims are entitled to compensation for their injuries. But, victims can only recover compensation by building a strong case against the negligent party with the help of a personal injury attorney. Your attorney will handle the majority of the work, but there is one thing you can do. Document evidence at the scene of the incident by taking photographs, asking witnesses for their contact information, and filing a report with the retailer. All of this evidence can be used to prove liability in your case, which is the key to recovering compensation.

It’s also important for trip and fall victims to seek medical attention as soon as possible after the incident. Seeing a doctor will ensure the injuries you sustained in the incident are officially documented. This makes it harder for the at-fault party’s insurance company to claim the injuries do not exist or were not sustained in the trip and fall. Be sure to keep a copy of your medical records in a safe place and follow the doctor’s orders carefully.

Finally, get in touch with a personal injury attorney right away. Choose a personal injury attorney who has experience recovering compensation for clients in trip and fall cases. Do this as soon as possible after the happening so your attorney can contact the retailer and ask for surveillance footage and other important evidence that could be destroyed in a matter of days.

Have you been injured as a result of a trip and fall inside a retail store? If so, contact Trial Lawyers for Justice today to schedule a consultation with a personal injury attorney regarding your case. Our team of skilled personal injury attorneys will immediately begin gathering evidence and building a case against the negligent property owner or retailer. Let us fight for the compensation you deserve for your injuries!

Can You Have A Medical Malpractice Case Regardless Of Age?

Can You Have A Medical Malpractice Case Regardless Of Age?

by | Apr 2, 2018 | Blog

Medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the United States, behind only heart disease and cancer. Errors made by healthcare providers cause over 250,000 deaths per year, which is roughly 10% of annual deaths in the U.S. These errors also cause tens of thousands of non-fatal injuries as well. Based on these statistics, it is clear that medical malpractice is a serious problem.

Victims of medical malpractice have the right to file a claim against the negligent healthcare providers that caused them harm. However, compensation is never a guarantee in medical malpractice cases. A number of factors can affect whether or not you are awarded compensation, and if so, how much you are awarded. Is the victim’s age one of the factors that could impact the case? Here’s what you should know:

Types of Medical Malpractice

There are several different types of medical malpractice that could affect people of all ages. The most common type is misdiagnosis, which is also referred to as failure to diagnose. This occurs when a healthcare provider fails to properly diagnose a patient. Misdiagnosis can happen anywhere, but it is especially common in emergency rooms since doctors are forced to rush from patient to patient, leaving little time for them to think clearly.

Medication errors are another type of medical malpractice. This occurs when a healthcare provider prescribes or administers the wrong medication or the incorrect dosage. It can also occur when a healthcare provider prescribes or administers a medication that the patient is allergic to or is not supposed to take for another legitimate reason.

Surgical errors, which are errors made during surgical procedures, are also common. Some examples of these errors include failing to sterilize the surgical equipment, operating on the wrong part of the body or the wrong person, or leaving a surgical tool inside the patient.

These are just a few of the many different types of medical malpractice cases. It’s important to note that any type of healthcare provider can be held accountable for making these mistakes, including doctors, nurses, surgeons, and dentists.

What Needs to Be Proven in Medical Malpractice Cases

There are three elements of medical malpractice that must be proven in order to recover compensation. First, the victim must be able to prove that the healthcare provider was negligent. This means proving that the healthcare provider acted in a way that another competent doctor in the same situation would not have acted. For example, let’s say a doctor fails to diagnose your heart condition because they do not order the appropriate tests. If a reasonable doctor would have known to order these tests based on your symptoms, your doctor was negligent.

Next, the victim needs to prove that the healthcare provider’s negligence directly led to their injuries. Consider the example mentioned above one more time. If you were correctly diagnosed by another doctor before the heart condition became any worse, you may not have suffered any harm as a result of the first doctor’s diagnosis. Therefore, this is not malpractice since the doctor’s negligence did not cause you harm. However, if you suffered a heart attack that could have been prevented if you had only been correctly diagnosed the first time, then you would have a reason to file a medical malpractice claim. In this case, the doctor’s failure to diagnose your condition directly caused your injury.

Finally, the victim needs to prove that the injury led to specific damages. The term damages can refer to medical expenses, lost wages, or pain and suffering that is directly related to the injury. If the healthcare provider’s negligence was responsible for your injury and the injury led to specific damages, then the healthcare provider is therefore responsible for the damages.

How Age Can Affect Medical Malpractice Cases

A person’s age may affect their medical malpractice case in one of two ways. First, it could affect the amount of compensation they are awarded. Why? Lost wages often account for a significant portion of a medical malpractice award. This is compensation awarded to the victim to make up for income they already lost and income they expect to lose in the future as a result of their injuries.

Many older adults are retired, which means their income will not be affected by an injury. Even if an older adult is not retired yet, their future earning potential is limited since they do not have many working years left. This means older adults are typically not awarded as much compensation for their current and future lost wages as young adults.

Second, the age of the victim could also be used to defend the healthcare provider in a medical malpractice case. How? In general, a person’s health starts to decline as they grow older. This means older adults are more likely to experience health problems and suffer complications during surgical procedures. Therefore, the healthcare provider might claim that the victim’s injury was not their fault because it occurred as a result of the victim’s age. It is up to the victim’s attorney to prove that the healthcare provider’s negligence, and not the victim’s declining health, is the cause of the victim’s injuries.

It’s true that age can affect medical malpractice claims, but this does not mean that recovering compensation is impossible for older adults. It simply means that older adults must rely on experienced attorneys to recover the compensation they deserve.

People of all ages can be seriously injured as a result of a healthcare provider’s negligence.
