Accidents involving motor vehicles are usually the first type of situation that people think of when it comes to personal injury cases. Any distraction or failure to adhere to traffic laws and safety regulations can lead to a horrible crash, even in New Haven.
Anything that takes the driver’s attention away from the road is dangerous and potentially the proof a personal injury lawyer needs to establish the driver’s fault for the accident. Such distractions may include:
Any of these distractions and countless more situations can result in an accident that causes injury or death to someone else on or beside the road. If you or your loved one have been injured by a negligent driver, you may be able to receive compensation for your damages.
Goldblatt + Singer are skilled personal injury attorneys who hold negligent drivers accountable for their reckless driving. You should not hesitate to consult with us about filing a personal injury lawsuit to recover compensation for damages caused by someone else’s actions.
Professionals in the medical field are held to a high standard of care due to the extreme amount of trust their patients have in their judgment. Unfortunately, preventable mistakes occur surprisingly often in healthcare.
Common causes for a medical malpractice case include:
A medical malpractice personal injury lawsuit can be filed against hospitals and doctors for their negligent treatment of a patient if that treatment caused a patient harm. The plaintiff would have to prove that they were a patient receiving care from the negligent physician and that the doctor did not perform in the way they reasonably should have.
The breach of performance must have caused harm to the patient. This harm can also take many forms, such as:
Many elderly people become more vulnerable as they age, and they often require the special care that nursing homes provide. Sadly, some of these individuals suffer the humiliation of abuse from the staff, which often leads to serious injury, pain, emotional suffering, and death.
Neglect, physical or emotional abuse, and any other intentional mistreatment from a caregiver to a senior is a very serious offense. In fact, the World Health Organization states that abusing the elderly is a violation of human rights and a significant cause of illness, injury, loss of productivity, isolation, and despair.
The most devastating reason for a personal injury case is when someone’s actions caused the death of someone else. Missouri law allows the surviving family members of the victim to file a wrongful death claim on behalf of the victim’s estate.
The financial compensation recovered will be distributed to the victim’s family according to the law.
The personal injury attorney will have to prove the victim’s death was caused by the defendant’s negligent actions. The personal injury lawyer must also illustrate that the surviving family or other beneficiaries received financial harm as a result of the victim’s death.
Head injuries are a very serious and potentially life-altering condition. Concussions are the most common type of traumatic brain injury, and according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, they are becoming more prevalent than ever.
The majority of head injuries occur in people above 60 and below 3 years old and are typically due to falls in these age groups.
The repercussions of a traumatic brain injury are often very far-reaching, as symptoms may be permanent or may not appear until years after the original injury. A personal injury lawsuit may be filed when the injury was caused by someone else’s reckless or unreasonable behavior.
Compensation would be obtained to cover the victim’s treatment and rehabilitation expenses, as well as any other damages caused by the injury.
The compensation awarded to the plaintiff is meant to cover any damages that were suffered as a result of the accident caused by the defendant. The plaintiff should be returned to the same financial status as before the accident and their injuries.
The plaintiff is also entitled to receive compensation for non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. Common examples of economic damages include:
When you are injured in an accident, you must get medical attention. Medical bills in the United States are very expensive and add up quickly.
They are often the most costly part of the accident. Your medical bills include hospitalization, surgeries, rehabilitation, therapy, medication, specialized equipment and care, and more.
Most people are unable to work while they recover from their injuries. Losing your income is stressful, especially when bills are accumulating.
Having to use vacation days during recovery, using up disability or sick time and receiving a reduced paycheck, or losing your income altogether is a financial damage that you should be compensated for.
These lost earnings will be included in your claim.
Suppose the accident has left you unable to continue your work, or you need to take on a role with a lower salary. In that case, you can also claim this loss as economic damage.
For example, if you were a surgeon and the accident left you with limited fine motor skills in your hands, you would no longer be able to continue in your profession. Your future earning potential will be used to calculate your lost earning capacity.
Your vehicle, home, personal belongings, and anything else you own is your property. Any damage to these items from the accident will have to be recovered through payment for repair, replacement, or the reduction of their value.
According to Forbes Advisor, non-economic damages compensate you for intangible losses due to your injuries from your accident.
Serious injuries cause excruciating pain. You deserve to be compensated for your discomfort that was caused by the accident.
Pain is usually short-term and fades as your injuries heal. Unfortunately, sometimes, it becomes chronic and can last for years or even be permanent.
Personal injury accidents are usually traumatic. Many victims find themselves feeling fearful after an accident.
Serious injury, entrapment, and fatalities escalate emotional trauma. Some people develop anxiety, depression, phobias, decreased mental capacity, difficulty concentrating, or post-traumatic stress disorder, among other mental anguish-related issues, because of the accident itself or from their subsequent injuries and disabilities.
Long-term and permanent injuries are a harsh reality for many surviving personal injury victims. The sudden inability to do something you love can lead to severe depression.
Loss of autonomy is humiliating and makes people feel like a burden to their families. Even losing the ability to work or earn the same income level as before the accident and then watching your family struggle can be heartbreaking.
These losses can change your personality and outlook on life, and you should be compensated for that.
The accident may leave you with injuries or disabilities that change your relationships with your loved ones.
For example, how can you hug your family members if you have become paralyzed or when your arms have been amputated? Perhaps your spouse and children once saw you as strong and dependable, but now you can barely move and are constantly irritable because of your chronic pain.
You can seek compensation for losing the dynamic of these relationships.
Permanent injuries quite literally change your life forever. They change the way you live, your relationships, and how others see you.
People may stare at your scars or look at you with pity when they see your disability, leading to frustration, humiliation, and depression. Compensation for any permanent damage is usually substantial.

There is a statute of limitations on personal injury claims. You have up to five years to file your claim for compensation in Missouri.
Although this seems like plenty of time, you do not want to wait too long to file. It is always best to begin working on your case right away so evidence and witness statements are fresh.
There are times when waiting is helpful, for example, when calculating an accurate amount of compensation for ongoing medical expenses.
Waiting until after certain medical procedures or until doctors have a better idea of what treatments will be required in the future will provide a better understanding of how much compensation is necessary to cover future medical expenses. Waiting too long and missing the deadline takes away your ability to get what you are legally entitled to receive as compensation for the damages you have suffered.
