Car Accidents, Slip and Fall, and TBI
Automotive accidents, such as car crashes, truck crashes, and motorcycle crashes, are among some of the more common claims clients contact me and my Atlantic City legal team about. If the other motorist caused the accident by engaging in reckless or negligent behavior behind the wheel, and you were seriously injured as a result, you may be able to file a claim to help recover compensation for your medical bills, lost income resulting from missed work, and other expenses arising from your injury.
In general terms, recklessness means intentionally ignoring basic safety rules, while negligence means failure to avoid a foreseeable hazard which other people would have anticipated. Recklessness and negligence are important components of injury lawsuits of all types.
Alongside vehicular accidents, slip and fall is another common type of injury claim. Slip and fall occurs when an issue like negligent maintenance leads to unsafe property conditions, resulting in a slip and fall accident with serious injury to the victim. Slip and fall accidents can affect people of all ages and occupations because they occur both indoors and outdoors in environments of all types.
Some common causes of slip and fall accidents, sometimes called slip, trip and fall, include uneven flooring, broken stairs or railings, inadequate lighting, leaks and wet spots, and unsecured wires or cables.
Automotive accidents and slip and fall accidents are both among the most common causes of TBI, which stands for Traumatic Brain Injury. TBI victims frequently suffer from severe, long-term medical effects, such as epilepsy, vision loss, reduced physical sensation, difficulty communicating, memory problems, and increased risk of serious illnesses like Parkinson’s Disease and Alzheimer’s Disease. TBI victims may also need to hire professional caregivers, and may lose the ability to support themselves through their former line of employment, resulting in ongoing financial losses over the course of the person’s lifetime.
