Know your rights if you suffer from a personal injury

On behalf of Mohajer Law Firm, APC posted in personal injury on Friday, May 17, 2019.

Personal injuries happen in an instant but can result in damage that will last for a lifetime. Serious injuries, like spinal cord injuries, have the potential to cause permanent damage that patients cannot recover from. In some cases, the initial injury is only the start of the damage to the body, with secondary conditions developing as a result of inflammation and complications.

When you suffer an injury, the first thing you should think of is getting help. Some people put off seeking medical care due to the expense or because they think that they are less injured than they actually are. The truth of the matter is that seeking help sooner is better — since doing so helps your medical team treat inflammation and secondary conditions as they arise. That gives you a better chance of recovery.

After any kind of accident, there is the potential to seek financial compensation from the person responsible for your injuries. That might be the driver who struck your vehicle, the owner of a dangerous property or someone else. No matter who it is, if they intentionally or unintentionally caused your injury as a result of negligence, you should retain the right to seek compensation from them.
