Learning the facts about personal injury accidents can help you grasp the magnitude of this issue in the U.S. According to the National Safety Council (NSC), unintentional injuries have been the fifth-leading cause of death since 1991. In the United States, an injury severe enough to require medical evaluation occurs every second of every day. That translates into 4,520 injuries per hour,108,000 per day, 761,500 per week, and nearly 40 million each year.
Here are several other facts:
In 2012, the rate of men and women seeking medical
attention for injuries was almost equal. The rate was
slightly higher for women (51.8%) than men (48.2%).
Most injuries occurred in the home (51.9%). Injuries
in public (on streets, sidewalks, highways, and
parking lots) took second place at 12.6%, and injuries
at sports and recreation areas took third (12%). About
29% of all emergency department visits in 2011 were
injury-related. This equates to about 40.2 million
injury-related visits out of 136.3 million total.
There were
4 million
emergency department visits throughout the U.S. in
2013. OF these, 37.2 million were injury-related. The
most frequent body sites that sustained injuries were
the upper extremities, including the hands, wrists,
and fingers. The odds of becoming a victim of an
unintentional injury in your lifetime are high. It is
often not a matter of if, but when. Not all
unintentional injury victims have the right to sue
someone for financial recovery. Only those with
injuries that stem from someone else’s act of
negligence, carelessness, or lawlessness can bring
personal injury claims. Other types of claims, such as
product liability and premises liability, require
other elements of proof. Partner with an attorney for
facts about your specific injury.
In 2013 (the most recent year data is available), unintentional injuries cost the United States $820.6 billion. This includes the costs of both fatal and nonfatal injuries, vehicle damages, medical expenses, productivity losses, administrative fees, and employers insured and uninsured costs.
The value of lost quality of life in 2013 equaled an additional $4,253.9 billion. Motor vehicle accidents cost the most, accounting for $264.2 billion. At-home unintentional injuries followed, then work accidents and public accidents. When employees sustain injuries that put them out of work, America pays. Most of the $820.6 billion in national expenses went toward wage and productivity losses ($388.4 billion). The second-largest component was medical expenses, totaling $219.8 billion in 2013. The total cost of personal injuries to the U.S. is the equivalent of 51 centers per dollar spent on food in the country. The parties that absorb the costs of personal injuries in the U.S. include private insurers , taxpayers, and the injured victims themselves.
If someone else’s negligence caused your accident, you might qualify to file for personal injury compensation under Texas law. Yet, you might not realize that you have a valid case without consulting a professional lawyer. To help you, our law firm offers free initial consultations to Dallas and Collin County residents for these practice areas and more.
Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents cause thousands of injuries every year in Texas, but who pays for the damages? Personal injury attorneys can identify who or what is responsible for your injuries.
In some cases, it’s another driver. For instance, if someone is driving while intoxicated (DWI) or driving distracted, he or she might make poor choices that lead to traffic accidents. Other collisions may result from mechanical problems or road conditions.
When Fielding Law accident attorneys investigate claims, they collect evidence that might be difficult for you to obtain. For instance, they can request police reports, interview witnesses, and review video evidence if available. From there, they can employ Texas personal injury law to seek justice for you and your loved ones.
Were you or a family member injured in a public place or on someone else’s property? Fielding Law can help you protect your rights. In Richardson, premises liability laws hold property owners responsible for taking reasonable measures to prevent injury. For example, they should perform regular inspections and correct maintenance issues promptly. They might also post warning signs to inform anyone who might be on the property of potential hazards.
Some examples of premises liability accidents are:
Since there are many kinds of personal injury accidents, we cannot describe them all here. If you suspect that your accident was preventable, you can find out whether you have a case by calling (877) 880-4090 or chatting online now with one of our representatives.
When someone dies as a result of a personal injury accident, it is usually a shock to that person’s family and friends. As you grieve, you might find it challenging to imagine life without your loved one. At Fielding Law, our compassionate lawyers are devoted to helping you cope with the difficulties in seeking wrongful death compensation.
A wrongful death claim is a civil lawsuit filed by the family (or legal representative) of a person who died due to someone else’s reckless or negligent actions. An attorney can help you prove that negligence caused your loved one’s death and brought emotional and financial distress to the ones dependent on him or her.
A talented Fielding Law attorney can work to obtain financial relief for damages, including medical bills, lost income, funeral expenses, and pain and suffering. Yet, the State of Texas requires victims or surviving family members to make claims within a certain period of time. If you are too late, you could lose the right to collect what you deserve for your injuries.
At Fielding Law, we want to help Richardson residents stay on the path to maximum compensation. To discuss how best to pursue your claim, please contact one of our caring representatives to discuss your legal options 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
