A serious personal injury usually occurs as the result of an unforeseen accident involving automobiles, trucks, heavy machinery, falling items, or slip and falls. Oftentimes, these accidents occur as the result of negligence by either an individual person or business entity.

Serious personal injuries can have devastating consequences on one’s quality of life and income, particularly if the accident involves permanent injuries. Accidents requiring lengthy hospital stays will result in the loss of revenue from work, which can be particularly damaging if they involve a primary wage earner of a household.

When you are seriously hurt, there are multiple financial implications, including medical expenses, physical and/or occupational therapy, loss of income, and long-term residential care, if needed. Many times, insurance companies will not cover the entire amount of these expenses and as a result, victims will be forced to go “in-pocket” during the treatment and recovery process.

For this reason, it’s important that if you or a family member have been involved in a serious personal injury, you contact an experienced personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to discuss your options and rights as an accident victim.

Waiting to contact an attorney will usually hurt a potential claim because insurance companies will do all they can to protect their interests and you will need your legal team to gather all the facts and details of a case sooner rather than later.
