Talking About Filing Bankruptcy

Hi, I’m Vera Poluccio. When I was going through my divorce, I spent way too much on my credit cards to support the lifestyle I was used to. When the reality of my finances set in, I was unable to recover from the credit card payments. As I slipped into a financial hole, I had to research various ways to avoid bankruptcy. Unfortunately, I was unable to avoid this inevitability, so I hired a bankruptcy attorney to walk me through the process. The attorney was able to help me discharge my debts and start off with a clean slate. My site will cover all aspects of the bankruptcy process. Thank you.

3 Common Types Of Personal Injury Suits

If you have been harmed by an entity, either out of negligence or reckless behavior, it might be the case that you can sue that person or institution under the category of a personal injury suit. However, not everyone knows when they might be entitled to collect damages through a personal injury case. Throughout the course of this brief article, you will learn about just a few common types of personal injury suits. If you have suffered through one of these issues, you should consider calling on the services of a local and trusted personal injury lawyer.

Slip and Fall

A slip and fall case involves an individual or business not taking the necessary precautions to make ground travel safe. Companies can also be held liable for slip and fall injuries when they have not adequately warned visitors about hazards on the property which might cause them to slip and fall. For example, if you are at a business during icy conditions and, on the private walkway up to the business, you slip, fall, and wind up with an injury due to this slip, you can sue the business in question. It is up to the business to ensure that the pathways leading up to the business are free from hazards. 

Car Accidents

There are almost no cases where there is no fault determined in a car accident. If you were involved in a car accident and you can sufficiently prove that the other party was at fault, you can collect damages for any injuries that you received due to the accident. Liability, in such cases, is determined through the court by presenting physical evidence and, if possible, witness testimony. If you are a pedestrian and you were hit by a car, it is important to note that in almost every case, the car driver will be found liable for damages.

Dog Attacks and Dog Bites

If you find yourself a victim of a dog attack, then you can often times collect damages from the owner of the dog or the dog's caretaker. These cases usually require that you were either on public property or not trespassing on private property and that you did not provoke the dog's ire in some way or another. Damages are awarded for any medical bills you incurred due to the attack and any mental or emotional trauma you may have received.
