Insurance Companies Are Not Looking Out for Your Best Interest

When you are injured in an accident, the majority of settlements and jury awards are paid for by the at-fault party’s insurance company, such as in vehicle accidents, premises liablity, and malpractice cases. Although filing an accident claim may seem like it would be a fairly straightforward process, the reality is that many accident claims are complicated.

Insurance companies often try to minimize a victim’s injuries or attempt to get the victim to admit they did something to cause the accident, even if that isn’t true. Other insurance company tactics involve dragging out the claim process so the victim may settle because they are struggling financially and need the funds. The insurance company may deny the claim entirely.

When you have a personal injury lawyer representing you, they will be the one dealing with the insurance company on your behalf. The insurance company won’t get away with any of its tactics with a lawyer.

Common Types of Injuries

Every person that works with a Bloomington, IL personal injury lawyer will have unique situations. However, many people suffer common injuries in accident cases. Each of these injury types can receive compensation for the trauma and pain they have caused. Learn more about these injuries, and then contact a lawyer at Pioletti Pioletti & Nichols for help.

TBIs

TBIs, or traumatic brain injuries, are often suffered in personal injury cases. These injuries occur when a person’s head collides with another object. In car accidents, TBIs may be caused by whiplash that forces a person’s head against the headrest. In a slip and fall accident, a person may actually fall and smack their head on the ground. These injuries present themselves with dizziness, lightheadedness, vision problems, headaches, and more. Even once brain injuries are treated, they may still cause a person pain for many years to come.

Broken Bones

Broken bones are often suffered in personal injury cases, especially ones that include a force of impact. This might look like a truck accident or a slip and fall. Occasionally a defective product may also cause a broken bone. Even if a bone is fractured or receives just a hairline crack, that injury can be pursued through legal avenues with the aid of a Bloomington personal injury lawyer.

Spinal Cord Injuries

While many people suffer injuries to their spines due to obvious accidents such as car crashes or slip and fall incidents, spinal cord injuries also often commonly result from medical malpractice. A doctor may operate on something incorrectly, leading to spinal issues. In fact, a medical professional may operate incorrectly on a person’s spine outright. However, spinal injuries can also occur when a person is under anesthesia, laying on the table while being operated on if proper procedures are not followed.

Burns

Burns may occur in car, truck, motorcycle, or even pedestrian accidents. When another vehicle is involved, there is a chance that a fire may start or hot machinery parts may burn a person’s skin. Burns may also be suffered due to defective products. These can be products that are meant to produce heat such as an air fryer, but it can also be due to products that should not get too hot, which end up causing burns. If you are burned by a defective product, make sure to take precautions to cool the product and place it in a safe space so it does not also burn down the house.

Cuts and Bruises

Finally, the most common injuries received in accidents are cuts and bruises. From defective products to medical malpractice to physical injuries, cuts and bruises are very common. Even though these injuries may seem small, you can still receive compensation for them. You can also receive compensation for invisible injuries such as mental health problems. Experiencing an injury  that changes your life can be very traumatic. PTSD, anxiety, and depression are just a few health issues a person may struggle with. All of these can be covered in a personal injury case.

If you or someone you love has recently been injured, contact a Bloomington personal injury lawyer with Pioletti Pioletti & Nichols for help.
