Is it Possible to Get Compensation for Medical Bills and Lost Wages after Settling a Personal Injury Case?

Those who have been seriously injured in an accident normally want to settle their case in the first year or two, but a seriously injured person is rarely done with his or her treatment in such a time. In fact, the personal injury victim may not even be able to return to their job. Now, this creates a serious problem for someone who was in a Chandler car accident that resulted in a severe injury or permanent disability.

That is why it is so important why any settlement includes money for future medical expenses and future income. This will normally require the assistance of an experienced Arizona personal injury lawyer who can give the car accident victim an honest evaluation from expert witnesses to determine future medical expenses, the likelihood of additional needed medical attention, and an estimate of the income the injured party will lose in the future as a result of the injury.

For this reason, it is a huge risk to sign any sort of document after a Chandler car accident before a qualified personal injury lawyer has reviewed it. Even if a document does not appear to waive a person’s rights in the future, it could still cause serious consequences for an injured party later. An experienced personal Chandler accident injury lawyer should review the case and any documentation related to it before allowing an injured party to sign it.

It would be unjust for an injured party to sign a release early in his or her personal injury case, only to find later that signing that piece of paper resulted in losing rights to seek payment for additional medical care caused directly by a Chandler car accident.

What Should I Do after a Chandler Car Accident if I Need Surgery but Do Not Have Health Insurance?

The best personal injury lawyers in Arizona care about their clients’ medical conditions. Even if a lawyer wins every case, yet ignores his or her clients’ medical prognosis, that lawyer is not among the best. Conversely, an inexperienced lawyer who fights to the end with every legal tool available to make certain that his or her client gets the best medical attention available, deserves significantly more credit.

A top injury lawyer will do more than just ensure that the legal claim is resolved. While the best personal injury attorneys will certainly make sure that their seriously injured clients receive the most compensation allowed under the law and protect their rights, they will also involve themselves in the medical aspect of the case when necessary.

The goal as far as medical care is concerned is to make sure that doctors do everything they can for the injured person. Many times, however, our clients do not have money to pay for required surgery. We understand that doctors do not work for free, nor do we think that they should, and hospitals too have a right to be paid. It is for this reason why many surgeries that are not emergencies will not be performed unless the doctors and hospitals who provide the care are somehow guaranteed payment. In situations like these, a person could live with a serious, painful, and debilitating medical condition because of a lack of funds.

Experienced Chandler personal injury lawyers can usually find excellent medical care in such cases. They can help find medical practitioners and medical facilities that will provide the needed care for their client without payment or health insurance. This is not free, however. The medical practitioners will put a lien on the case, which means that they are entitled to reimbursement once the case has been settled.

To learn more about how you can ensure that your medical bills are paid for after being in an accident caused by another person’s negligence, please get in touch with the attorneys at Breyer Law Offices, P.C. We have assisted injury victims for many years in obtaining full compensation for their injuries so that they can get the medical treatment they need.

Common Signs of Elder Abuse in Arizona

Bedsores (also known as decubitus ulcers) are one of the most common signs of nursing home neglect. In the worst cases, they may cover an elderly person’s body. Bedridden seniors and shut-ins can end up with these sores due to neglect. This affliction is usually preventable, and this type of injury is frequently a sign of nursing home abuse.

Other elder abuse cases involve elderly people who are denied proper food and water, and thus suffer from malnutrition and/ or dehydration. While a doctor’s diagnosis is normally required to prove that these conditions are present, it’s possible to recognize the signs and symptoms of dehydration or malnutrition. These signs should raise a red flag and be fully investigated.

Indicators such as poor personal hygiene or a normally clean, fastidious person who suddenly appears to lose interest in personal care can be signs of a problem that’s much more serious.

Obviously, not every possible marker of nursing home abuse means that there is indisputable neglect taking place. However, examining any and all symptoms to uncover possible offenses is a vital step to assuring that loved ones are protected from nursing home abuse or neglect in Peoria and throughout the state of Arizona.

As Peoria nursing home abuse lawyers, we understand how difficult it is for a family to discover that their loved one has been a victim to elderly neglect or abuse. If you suspect such negligence, please feel free to contact Breyer Law Office, P.C. today for a free, no-obligation consultation. We can help.
