If you have been injured by someone else’s negligence, it leaves you facing multiple challenges and seemingly few options. While your medical bills continue to pile up, you may experience a decrease in earnings and can face considerable emotional consequences. Fortunately, an experienced Hartford personal injury lawyer from Berman & Russo can help.
Personal injury law is based on negligence as it relates to the duties of care we owe one another in specific situations, such as when we are driving.
For example, every motorist owes everyone else on the road a duty of care that relates to following the rules of the road and driving safely in relation to the actual conditions on the road.
When this duty of care is breached, it can lead to dangerous car accidents and car accident claims. While car accidents are the most common type of personal injury claim, other varieties include:
If the accident that leaves you injured was caused by negligence on the part of someone who owes you a duty of care, it’s time to consult with a dedicated Hartford personal injury attorney.
If the accident that leaves you injured is a car accident, your claim will very likely be based on driver negligence, which can include all of the following:
Your car accident claim will address the damages (in addition to property damage to your car) that you’ve suffered as a result of the other driver’s negligence.
The medical expenses associated with car accidents are considerable, and because serious injuries are complicated, your healthcare needs may be ongoing. To make matters more difficult, certain kinds of injuries are susceptible to secondary health concerns, such as respiratory problems and serious infections, which can ratchet up your medical costs.
As you recover from your physical injuries, chances are good that you’ll experience lost hours on the job and a decrease in earnings. If your injuries are more serious, your ability to earn into the future can be affected.
The violent shock of a car accident that was caused by another driver’s negligence can be as emotionally painful as it is physically. These emotional symptoms can persist (think PTSD) can be even more consequential, compounding your recovery from the physical and financial damages.
