Personal Injury Representation 101

STOP THE BIG COMPANIES FROM GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER

SADLY, IT HAPPENS MORE THAN ONE WOULD LIKE TO BELIEVE.

BIG BUSINESSES LET THEIR SAFETY POLICIES GET LAX AND INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON THEIR HUMAN RESOURCES, THEY ONLY SEEM TO CARE ABOUT THE BOTTOM LINE.

THE RESULTS ARE INJURIES, DISMEMBERMENT AND DEATH.

WHILE SOME COMPANIES HAVE THE KIND OF LEADERSHIP WHO SEEK TO REMEDY HORRIBLE INCIDENTS AFTER THE FACT, OTHERS MERELY WORK TO SEE HOW THEY CAN SKIRT THE BLAME.

THANKFULLY, ONE CAN OBTAIN THE SERVICES OF A WRONGFUL DEATH ATTORNEY WHO SPECIALIZES IN COMBATING MALPRACTICES, HELPING THE FAMILIES OF THOSE WHO HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES.

WHAT IS A PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY?

A PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER IS A PERSON WHO HELPS THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN HURT - ALSO KNOWN AS A TORT OR TRIAL ATTORNEY.

WHEN POLITICIANS TALK ABOUT "TORT REFORM" THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT LOWERING THE AMOUNT THAT A BUSINESS MUST PAY SOMEONE, REGARDLESS OF THE CRIME.

FOR EXAMPLE, IN KANSAS, DOCTORS NEVER HAVE TO PAY MORE THAN $250,000.

THIS COULD BE THE RESULT OF REMOVING THE WRONG LEG, BEING HIGH ON DRUGS DURING SURGERY AND KILLING A PATIENT, OR REMOVING A PATIENT'S GENITALIA WITHOUT CONSENT.

WHEN INCIDENTS LIKE THIS OCCUR, TORT LAWYERS ARE THERE TO HELP.

THEY UNDERSTAND THE INS AND OUTS OF THE SYSTEM AND WILL HELP PEOPLE GET WHAT THEY DESERVE.

WHILE IT IS TRUE THAT THERE ARE LIMITS IN CERTAIN STATES TO WHAT SOMEONE MAY BE ABLE TO GET WHEN THEY ARE HURT OR KILLED ON THE JOB, THERE ARE MANY EXAMPLES WHERE JUSTICE WAS TRULY SERVED.

EXAMPLES OF WHEN TORT LAWYERS HELPED PEOPLE

WHILE ERECTING A SCAFFOLD IN NEW YORK A CONSTRUCTION WORKER FELL AND WAS INJURED.

THE ATTORNEYS ON THE CASE WERE ABLE TO PROVE THAT THE EMPLOYER FAILED TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE SAFETY TOOLS THAT WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THE FALL.

THE CLIENT RECEIVED A SETTLEMENT OF $975,000.

A COMPANY IN ILLINOIS HAD PLACED AN EMPLOYEE IN CHARGE OF A TRASH COMPACTOR.

THE EMPLOYEE WAS TOLD HE WOULD LEARN AS HE WENT, AND NOT TO PUT HIS ARMS OR LEGS IN THE MACHINE.

GIVEN THE EMPLOYEE'S LACK OF TRAINING, THE MACHINE WOULD FREQUENTLY JAM, LEADING HIM TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS.

ONE DAY HE WAS SEVERELY INJURED AND ALMOST KILLED.

THE JURY DELIBERATING THE CASE DECIDED THAT THE EMPLOYEE WAS PARTIALLY TO BLAME FOR NOT HEEDING THE LITTLE TRAINING HE DID HAVE BUT WAS CONVINCED THAT THE EMPLOYER WAS MOSTLY TO BLAME FOR NOT DOING ITS JOB.

THE RESULT WAS A $1.1 MILLION AWARD THAT WAS REDUCED (FOR THE PART OF THE BLAME THEY ASSIGNED THE EMPLOYEE) TO $762,000.

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO ENSURE JUSTICE IS DONE FOR YOUR FAMILY?

IF YOU WORK IN AN UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT, THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO IS ATTEND SAFETY TRAINING.

THIS CAN BE A CLASS THAT IS RUN BY OSHA OR ONE YOUR EMPLOYER HOLDS.

KNOWLEDGE TRULY IS POWERFUL, AND IF YOU KNOW WHAT IS UNSAFE YOU CAN STOP UNNECESSARY ACCIDENTS FROM HAPPENING.

ADDITIONALLY, WHEN UNSAFE PRACTICES ARE OCCURRING YOU CAN PROTECT YOURSELF AND THOSE AROUND YOU.

THE RESULT WILL BE A BETTER WORKPLACE.

AND FOR THE TIMES THAT SOMETHING DOES OCCUR THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE, YOU CAN PROVE THAT THE EMPLOYER WAS NOTIFIED BY PUTTING IN WRITING (VIA EMAIL OR PERSONAL JOURNAL) BY KEEPING TRACK OF WHAT YOU INFORMED THEM OF.
