Has My Child Sustained a Brain Injury?

If you have questions about whether your child has a brain injury, here’s some things to look for. There are certain milestones that children go through: babies, toddlers, and if they’re not reaching the milestones at the right time frame, that should raise a question in your mind whether or not there’s something going on that’s not exactly right in their brain. Look for things like are they crawling, are they handling their toys with their fingers, grasping appropriately, is there good strength in their hands, are they lifting their hands over their head, are they able to feed themselves, hold their bottle, walking and cruising along the sofa at the right age? Those are things that you need to look for, the milestones to determine whether or not there might be a brain injury. If you have more questions about how your child is doing, give me a call. I’d be glad to discuss the details with you. My name’s Ron Gilbert with Calling Gilbert Right and Carter, 1800-49 legal.

Settle Out Of The Court Room

In most personal injury case, your attorney is going to make an effort to try to settle or resolve your case with the other side, usually an insurance company, before filing a lawsuit and taking the case to court. That doesn’t always happen, and it doesn’t always succeed. If it does not succeed, your attorney then has to file a suit and put the case into litigation, then there are generally ongoing negotiations and opportunities along the way to try to settle the case before it gets to trial. Just one primary example is that every judge in the floor is going to order your case to mediation before trial, and that’s usually a more formal settlement conference providing the parties with an opportunity to try to settle your case before it actually gets to trial.

Difficulty Winning An Accident Case

Winning any accident case is difficult. It is an uphill battle in the sense that you have to prove your case. In proving your case, you need to show fault or legal responsibility in whole or in part on the part of the other party. If there is some responsibility on your own part, that will be factored into it. But it requires proof and that’s why you want an attorney and you want that attorney to get on your case early.

Key Information On Medical Device Injury

It’s important if you believe you or a loved one have been injured by a medical device. As in other product liability cases, you want to make sure that you preserve the evidence. Often times the laboratory at a hospital during perhaps a revision surgery and a hip surgery, when a defective hip is removed and a new one is put in, it’s important that that evidence be preserved. A lot of times it takes an attorney or a least a loved one to make sure that gets coordinated through the hospital’s laboratory so that evidence can be preserved. As in other cases, not only is it important to preserve the evidence that will become relevant to prove the product is defective later, but it’s important that the injuries are documented. That’s photographs, video documenting of the injuries that a person may be going through, which obviously they will heal over time. If that’s not documented in the beginning, that’s obviously crucial evidence that’s lost.

Suing Driver, Bicycle Accident

If you’re injured while riding your bicycle, can you sue the driver that hit you? Well the answer to that really is it depends. In order to have a valid basis to file a lawsuit or a claim of any kind against the driver that hits you, you have to look at the circumstances surrounding the accident, because in order to hold the other driver responsible, you have to be able to prove that that driver was negligent or careless, meaning that he or she did something wrong or something inappropriate. It usually involves trying to demonstrate that that driver violated the common rules of the road, or committed a traffic infraction that resulted in the accident.

Cruise Line Injury Claim

Cruise line claims are different than most negligence claims. In Florida we have a four-year statute of limitations on negligence claims. However, it’s very different when you’ve been injured while on a cruise. The ticket or your cruise contract– it actually is that. It is a contract and there is usually small print language on the back of your contract that requires you to bring your claim or file written notice of your claim with the cruise line, typically within six months of there being an accident. And then to file a lawsuit within one year of the accident which is obviously much different than having a four-year statute of limitations.

All too often in Florida people that have been injured on a cruise line will wait too long because they think they have four years to bring a claim when it’s just not the case. The cruise line ticket or contract applies and you must read that language. You must have family members look at the contract if you’ve been injured while on a cruise line because often times you will no longer have rights to bring a claim if you wait too long and that’s typically more than six months from the date the incident occurred.

Semi-Truck Accident Attorney

Retaining an attorney after you’ve been injured in a big rig trucking accident is essential, but you want to get not just a good lawyer, the best lawyer. You want someone who is qualified, someone who has had experience in handling, in litigating, and hopefully in taking to verdict some big rig tractor trailer truck cases. You need a lawyer who knows the federal regulations. You need a lawyer who is trusted by other lawyers. It’s not good enough to just research a lawyer on the Internet. You want to find out his or her reputation by checking with other lawyers or by checking with organizations to see what her qualifications are and what she has been doing over the course of her career.
