Personal Injury
In legal terms, a personal injury can include any physical or mental injury that is caused by another party's negligent or deliberately wrongful actions. Common causes of personal injury include medical malpractice, automobile accidents, slip and fall accidents, defective products, and construction accidents. Depending on the circumstances surrounding their cases, victims of personal injury may be able to receive compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses and expenses resulting from their accidents.
Wrongful Death
A wrongful death occurs when a person is killed as a result of someone else's negligent or deliberately wrongful actions. Families of wrongful death victims may be eligible to receive compensation for lost present and future wages, funeral costs, medical bills, the loss of love, society and comfort and other losses and expenses stemming from the tragic death of their loved one.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
If you or a family member has been involved in an auto accident and suffered injuries, you may be entitled to monetary compensation. A car accident can result not only in physical injuries but property damage as well. An experienced attorney can fight for your rights and work to ensure that you and your family are able to secure the full measure of compensation to which you are entitled.
Truck Accidents
Truck accidents pose a significant danger on our highways, which is one of the primary reasons that the government has placed such strict regulations on the trucking industry. Even with these regulations, truck accidents still occur all too commonly, often resulting in serious injury and even death.
Product Liability
If you or a member of your family has been seriously injured while using a defective product, you may be eligible to receive compensation from the liable party or parties. Depending on the circumstances surrounding the injury, the liable parties can include those involved in the design, manufacture, and marketing of a product. Unlike most personal injury cases, the plaintiff does not have to demonstrate a specific act of negligence on the part of the defendant in order to obtain compensation; rather, the product defect is evidence enough of negligence. Mr. Deason has particular expertise in cases involving forklifts, power presses and molding machines.
Premises Liability
Premises liability laws govern accidents that result from unsafe conditions on someone else's property. Slip-and-fall accidents are among the accidents that most commonly form the basis of premises liability claims.
Brain Injury
Unlike most other serious injuries, a brain injury can produce symptoms so subtle that they may not be immediately detected by the victim. Brain injuries can cause permanent cognitive impairments and personality changes. If you or a family member has been the victim of a brain injury, you should contact an attorney immediately for an evaluation of your case and possible referral for medical care.
Burn Injury
Burn injuries are among the most painful and expensive injuries a person can suffer. The victim may require years of treatments such as skin grafts, reconstructive surgery, and physical therapy, which can be physically, emotionally, and financially devastating.. Unfortunately, in many cases, burn injuries can lead to permanent disfigurement, scarring, and psychological damage.
Spinal Cord Injury
A spinal cord injury can permanently impact the lives of both the victim and his or her family. Severe spinal cord injury can result in unremitting pain and even paralysis beneath the site of the injury, leaving the victim dependent on others for even the most basic tasks. If you or a member of your family has suffered a spinal cord injury, you may be eligible for monetary compensation for medical bills, rehabilitation costs, the cost of present and future care, aa well as pain and suffering.
Construction Accidents
Construction accidents injure or kill thousands of people each year. Many construction accidents are caused by the failure to follow accepted safety practices. If you or a loved one has been injured in a construction accident, you should consult the Law Offices of Edward Deason to find out how we can protect your rights and help you obtain the compensation you deserve.
Railroad Accidents
Railroad and commuter train accidents can be caused by many factors. Poorly maintained railroad equipment, improper railroad crossing protection, and defective equipment are just a few of the more common causes of railroad accidents. Railroad employees can seek compensation under The Federal Employers' Liability Act. If you or a family member has been injured due to a railroad accident, you may be eligible to receive compensation for your injuries.
Medical Malpractice
In the complex world of medicine, medical professionals who fail to adhere to the community standard of care can cause serious injury or even death, including errors in surgical or anesthesia procedures, misdiagnosis, and pharmaceutical errors. Issues involving medical malpractice are often medically and legally complex. While the practice of medicine is challenging, patients are dependent on the skill and attentiveness of their doctors. If you believe you or your family has been a victim of medical malpractice, you should seek out the advice of a qualified attorney immediately.
