We have all heard night-mare stories of how people get injured. For example a person has a seriously broken foot, has surgery on it and then is sent to rehab. After three months in rehab they are discharged, only to discover on their return trip to the doctor that rehab has not only re-broken the foot, but has also torn the Achilles tendon. A second surgery is performed and more time in physical therapy at a different facility is performed. This patient or his family should have consulted with an attorney because ultimately, he lost his job. The Personal injury lawyers Iowa should have been able to help him get some sort of financial assistance for all that he and his family went through.
Accidents are called accidents because they are unintentional. Sadly, some accidents happen due to someone’s negligence. It is not up to the patient or the client to make the decision whether it is an accident or if it is clearly negligence. That it when it is time for folks with legal knowledge, like Personal injury lawyers Iowa to make the decisions whether to proceed with a case. If a person falls on a wet floor in a building and gets injured, who is at fault?
Traffic accidents are always an uncertain issue. First the police need to decide who is at fault, and to what degree. So many people are just willing to let it go as long as insurance pays the bills. The choice is of course the victims. Do not hesitate to phone an injury lawyer, usually they will give you some free advice to begin with, and one can decide from there.
One of the most neglected areas of injury to people is sadly happening to those who are unable to speak for themselves to let us know they are being injured. Those folks are our senior citizens who are residents in nursing homes. Many of these folks do not have regular family visitors who are checking on their care, so no one knows for sure if they are being treated correctly. One of the biggest fears is the distribution of medication, which is mashed up into pudding, and then blindly fed to the patient. How do we know they are being fed the proper meds? Does anyone check if the patient suddenly dies? Who watches out for those who cannot watch out for themselves?
