The value of a car accident claim varies on a case-by-case basis. Some of the factors that can affect the value of a claim include the severity of the victim’s injuries and the way the injuries were treated. In general, victims are entitled to three different types of car accident injury compensation, including medical costs, pain, and suffering, and wage losses.

This means that victims must file a lawsuit within two years from the date the injury was sustained or within two years from the date they first discovered the injury. The law also states that victims must file lawsuits within seven years from the date the malpractice occurred.

10 years ago today. My wife and I (we were only dating at the time) survived getting hit by a drunk driver. A 17 year old kid who had been partying the night before and was so blitzed that he thought it would be a good idea to use his crappy mid 90’s BMW to pass 6 people around a blind curve. When he saw us he lost control while in our lane and because of a guardrail there was no place to go and we hit him.

Thank you Lord for keeping us alive and showing us Your love in enduring this trial.

Each state has its own dram shop laws, which outline the responsibilities and legal obligations of bars, restaurants, and other businesses that serve alcohol. The dram shop liability laws in Pennsylvania state that any establishment that serves alcohol to someone who is visibly intoxicated can be held liable for damage caused by the intoxicated individual.

If you've suffered a construction injury, and experienced Philadelphia construction accident lawyer may be able to help you.

There are laws in place that limit the amount of time that victims have to take legal action following a construction site accident. Victims have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault parties. If the lawsuit is not filed within this two-year time period, you lose the right to take legal action against these parties for your injuries.

Dr Vaishnavy Laxman is a consultant gynaecologist who accidentally decapitated a baby while the child was still within the womb. During a breech birth, where the baby is presenting feet first, instead of conducting a caesarean section Dr Laxman continued to attempt a natural delivery. The General Medical Council have since clarified that a vaginal delivery should never be attempted in this situation, as the baby was also exhibiting a slow heart rate.

Dr Laxman placed traction on the child’s feet, instructed the mother to push, and the child’s torso, arms and legs came away from the head. While the body of the child was delivered as a result of this manoeuvre, the head was retained in the uterus. The consultant attempted to deliver the head by cutting the cervix which was not fully dilated when the body had been delivered. However, it could not be removed, and two other consultants performed a caesarean section to remove it.

Doctors had to re-attach the head to the body in order to give the mother an opportunity to say goodbye and grieve for her child. The mother gave a harrowing account of her experiences during the birth at the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service:

‘The only pain relief I was given was a spray on my tongue. I was told it was meant to loosen my cervix but I was not given gas and air – I was in pain. I had the doctors putting their hands inside me and I had them pushing on my stomach and then pulling me down. I tried to get off the bed but they pulled me back three times and just said they had to get the baby out. They twice tried to cut my cervix and nobody told me they were going to do it. There was no anaesthetic. I said to them “it doesn’t feel right, stop it, what’s going on, I don’t want to do it” but nobody responded to me in any way.’

Dr Laxman maintained that she did not contribute to the death of the child. The hearing at Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service cleared her of any wrong doing and she was allowed to return to work in 2018.

Doctors aren’t the only ones who can be sued for medical malpractice. Victims of malpractice can take legal action against any negligent healthcare provider, including doctors, surgeons, nurses, dentists, and other medical professionals. In some medical malpractice cases, victims also have the right to sue the hospital where the malpractice occurred.

If you were injured on another person's property, a Philadelphia slip and fall lawyer can help get you the compensation you deserve.

Property owners are often held liable for accidents arising from icy slip and fall accidents. This is because there are certain laws in Philadelphia that require property owners to keep their properties free from winter hazards such as snow and ice For example, one law in Philadelphia requires property owners, agents, or tenants to clear a path of at least 36 inches on walkways within six hours after the snow has stopped falling.

A property owner is not automatically held liable for every injury that is sustained on his property. It is up to the plaintiff–with the help of an attorney–to prove that the property owner was negligent and therefore should be held liable for the victim’s injuries. To prove negligence, the plaintiff must show that the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition on his property.

In a car accident case, the traffic accident may seem clear-cut on its surface, but oftentimes there are factors that need to be looked into, like what the other driver was doing at the time of the accident, whether or not a car part was defective, and how the design of the roadway contributed to the crash. We do that deep dive for our clients, which is just one of the many ways we help them achieve the best possible results.
