Actions to Consider Taking After a Personal Injury Accident

• Get to the doctor immediately, whether that means going to the emergency room, the hospital, or your own doctor - many times our clients are brought by ambulance to the hospital due to the severity of their injuries;
• Get rest. Trying to go to work or do the things you normally do can cause more injuries, or worsen the injuries you already have;
• Collect everything you can, or have someone do it for you from the accident. This means photos, police reports, medical documents, witness information, and the contact information, and insurance information, for the person who hurt you;
• Make sure if you have health insurance that your medical providers are billing your health insurance;
• If you are missing work, as silly as it may sound, it is important to have a lost wage note from the doctor;
• Do not give a recorded statement or speak to the adverse insurance company until you speak to an attorney; and
• Contact an attorney, even if you don't think you need one just to go over your options so you are fully informed when you make decisions on how to push forward with your claim.

Types of Personal Injury Accidents

A person's negligent actions can result in a variety of accidents, differing from case to case. Accidents can occur anywhere, even in seemingly safe places, but some locations and circumstances lend themselves to incredibly dangerous accidents. A personal injury accident or wrongful death in Tempe can result from any of the following:

• Construction site accident;
• Car crash;
• Pestrian accident;
• Truck collision;
• Motorcycle accident;
• Nursing home abuse or neglect;
• Slip and fall accident; and
• Dog bite.

Negligence or reckless behavior can cause a wide range of traffic collisions, workplace accidents, and various other incidents where a person or group of people is injured. In everyday life, people are typically entrusted with acting in a safe and reasonable manner that does not endanger others. These rules of safety include such decisions as not driving drunk, safely operating the machinery one is in charge of, and not ignoring the responsibility to ensure a property is free of hazards. When a person acts against these common rules, they put unsuspecting bystanders in harm's way.

Types of Serious Injuries

A negligent or reckless party cannot estimate the injuries that they cause since the results of an accident are often left up to chance. The results of a Tempe car accident can differ wildly depending on the factors involved and the same goes for any other accident that can cause injuries. The wide array of personal injuries caused by negligent actions includes:

• Sprained limbs and joints;
• Cuts and bruises;
• Nerve damage;
• Fractured and/or broken bones;
• Brain/head injury;
• Neck injury;
• Loss of limb;
• Disfigurement;
• Paralysis; and
• Spinal cord injury.

Personal injuries result in a variety of medical care that can range from a doctor's appointment to a long-term hospital stay. A variety of medical costs result from injuries as hospital stays, emergency medical care, and rehabilitation can cost a shockingly substantial amount of money. When a person is injured due to another's reckless and negligent behavior, his or her entire life can be turned upside down. The emotional toll of injuries can be devastating to a person and his or her family, but the financial cost can create an even worse situation.
