Serious injury cases are the ones where Mr. Handel can make the biggest difference.
Serious injuries can arise in any number of ways, however car accidents and other motor vehicle accidents such as motorcycle accidents, pedestrian accidents and farming accidents are the most common causes. Very often these injury accidents involve impaired drivers.
"Drunk drivers” continue to be a major cause of serious injury accidents on our highways and at highway speeds, many car accidents become fatal. Motorcycles, ATV's, snowmobiles, tractors, house fires, railway accidents and plane crashes also cause their share of serious injury accidents.
The most serious injuries and the ones Mr. Handel has experience in dealing with are:
- quadriplegia,
- paraplegia,
- other types of paralysis,
- brain injury,
- spinal fractures (including compression fractures),
- other multiple fracture situations, and
- internal organ injuries,
- brain injuries .
Not every personal injury situation gives rise to compensation. But more situations give rise to compensation than people generally realize. A Red Deer injury lawyer can advise you of the various legal options available to you in protecting your rights and obtaining compensation for your injuries – usually from insurance.
Injuries can arise many different ways. They can result from:
- a defective product ,
- a car accident,
- other motor vehicle accidents,
- a motorcycle accident,
- a nursing home accident,
- a slip and fall on ice,
- a slip and fall on wet or otherwise slippery floors,
- poorly designed equipment,
- a farming accident,
- getting injured in a house fire,
- a railway accident,
- an airport or airplane accident,
- a plane crash,
- ingesting toxic chemicals,
- a dog bite,
- an escalator accident,
- medical malpractice,
- dental malpractice,
- a birth or birthing injury.
Fatal accidents are perhaps the most tragic. A fatality lawyer can help you deal with the aftermath.
An injury lawyer will help you to protect your rights and to obtain compensation from the appropriate party – most often an insurance company.
It is important to contact an injury lawyer quickly after suffering a personal injury in order to determine what rights you do have, and to make sure that nothing is done that might sabotage your case.
A Red Deer injury lawyer can often help to free up funds right after an accident in order to assist in obtaining physical therapy or other treatment. The best injury lawyer is the one you call right away.
The amount of compensation you are entitled to depends on a number of factors, including but not limited to the severity of your injury and possibly on the effect the injuries will have on your future ability to work. While some claims do end up in court, the vast majority that have a lawyer involved settle out of court. Fatality accident bring their own set of rules into play. Compensation can often be obtained for surviving family members.
If you or someone close to you has been involved in an injury accident you owe it to yourself to obtain immediate legal advice.
