Sumter Serious Injury Lawyer
Unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death for people under 45. Even if these victims survive these incidents, they normally have permanent injuries. The diligent Sumter serious injury lawyers at the Stanley Law Group work hard to obtain the compensation these victims, and their families, need and deserve. This compensation usually includes money for economic losses, such as medical bills, and noneconomic losses, such as pain and suffering.
Over 95 percent of personal injury matters settle out of court. In most cases, settlements are final, and court verdicts are just the first stop on a long ride through the judicial system of appeals and motions. Settlement is a process, not a result. This process begins with a thorough case evaluation and diligent evidence collection. Once this foundation is in place, a Sumter serious injury lawyer effectively advocates for victims in court and at the negotiating table.
Matters Our Sumter Serious Injury Lawyers Handle
A catastrophic (life-threatening) injury can affect any family at any time. Some of the more common serious injury matters we handle include:
- Car Crashes: Today’s cars and trucks are much safer than they were in the 1990s. Today’s cars and trucks are also much bigger and faster. The safety innovations haven’t kept up with the other engineering innovations. Therefore, vehicle collisions still kill or seriously injure millions of Americans every year.
- Falls: About one in four older adults slip and fall every year. These incidents are especially serious for older adults with pre-existing conditions. A pre-existing condition, like arthritis or a heart condition, transforms an ordinary fall into a serious injury that, at best, requires extended stay in a long-term care facility.
- Unintentional Poisonings: These serious injuries, which are usually related to drug overdoses, are extremely complex. Several parties could be at fault. Drug companies deliberately sold powerful and highly addictive pain pills, while marketing these pills to low-income people. Shipping companies transported controlled substances as if they were sugar packets, and doctors wrote prescriptions at “pill mills” without asking too many questions.
These cases are diverse in many ways, but they have several things in common, such as negligence, or a lack of care.
Most drivers and property owners have a duty of reasonable care. They must go out of their way to avoid accidents and provide safe environments for invited guests. Doctors must meet a higher legal standard. They have a fiduciary duty to ignore every other priority, such as making money, and do what’s best for their patients.
