Recovering Compensation
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published a detailed list of the leading causes of deaths due to unintentional injury. The causes of death vary by age, but include:
- Unintentional falls
- Motor vehicle collisions
- Unintentional drowning
- Fires or burns
- Pedestrian accidents
In far too many instances, accidents leading to fatalities or to permanent injuries could have been prevented. Falls, for example, routinely result from slippery floors, debris in store aisles, or changes in flooring surface. When property owners fail to correct hazards or warn their guests about dangerous conditions, a slip and fall could lead to spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, broken bones, or death.
Falls are just one of many accidents that can result from negligence or a failure on the part of a person or company to keep others safe. After your accident or your loved one’s death, you need to determine the cause of the injuries and make a claim for compensation if some person or company is to blame. A James Island personal injury lawyer can help those hurt in the James Island area to evaluate how their accident happened and put together a case against those responsible.
Working With a James Island Injury Attorney
Victims of negligence or wrongdoing can pursue a damage claim by suing the person or company who caused their harm. It is common for lawsuits to settle outside of court, but James Island victims should have a James Island personal injury lawyer review any settlement offer to ensure it is fair before they sign. If a case doesn’t settle, the victim will need to prove that more likely than not the defendant’s improper actions were the direct cause of harm for which compensation is available.
