Millions of Americans are involved in life-altering accidents on a daily basis, and many of these result in serious or catastrophic injury. It’s a burden for the victim of the accident, as well as the family members responsible for his or her care.
If you or a loved one has fallen victim to a catastrophic injury, one of the best ways you can go about getting compensation for your injury claim is to hire an experienced Baton Rouge serious injury lawyer from the office of Spencer Calahan Injury Lawyers.
Our attorneys are well-versed in various types of injuries and can help you and your loved one collect compensation from the parties responsible.
Types of Serious Injuries
According to the law, serious injuries are classified as injuries that involve the following criteria:
- Substantial risk of death
- Unconsciousness
- Extreme physical pain
- Protracted and obvious disfigurement
- Protracted loss or impairment of the function of a bodily member, organ, or mental faculty
Your Baton Rouge serious injury lawyer is familiar with all of the necessary steps needed to handle these types of accidents and obtain the compensation you need. The first thing we will want to figure out is how the accident happened and who is responsible.
Determining Cause and Fault for an Injury Accident
In order to seek justice from the responsible party to provide closure to you and your family, you need to know the cause of the accident and the parties at fault so that your claim can be presented in detail. It’s worth noting that if you are responsible for the accident, you may still have grounds to file a claim, but compensation will be reduced according to your level of fault.
If you are not responsible, your Baton Rouge serious injury lawyer needs to identify who is. The first step is to uncover how the injuries happened in the first place. Common accident types are as follows:
- Car accidents between you and another motorist, motorcycle, or semi-truck
- Medical malpractice, including injury sustained from medical neglect or surgery mishaps
- Premises liability, meaning accidents that happened on a property other than your own; this means at work, on a commercial property, or at someone else’s residence
- Product liability claims, such as injuries sustained from using a certain product as described
In any of these cases, it could turn out that multiple parties may be at fault for your accident, which can be tricky to deal with and takes time to process.
Just know that whatever the cause, and whoever is responsible, our firm will work to get you the compensation you deserve. To better understand compensation for your specific case, contact us today.
