You Will Face Many Challenges When Pursuing Wrongful Death Civil Action

Most wrongful death lawsuits begin with survivors filing a claim against a defendant’s liability insurance policy. Since wrongful death often results in a large number of damages being incurred by both the decedent and the decedent’s family, the insurance coverage that is likely to pay these damages from a wrongful death lawsuit may be worth a very large amount of money.

This is why an insurer that holds such a large policy will likely do whatever it can to avoid being held financially responsible for paying out such a sizable sum. This coldhearted behavior, even if the evidence clearly proves the insured party was negligent in causing the wrongful death rarely changes; regardless of the bereaved family’s obvious need for proper compensation. This is a prominent reason why your wrongful death case requires aggressive legal representation in order to work against a liable party’s insurer.

These insurers (along with their adjusters and the lawyers who defend the insurance companies in court) typically attempt to pass the blame for a fatal accident onto any other party that may have been involved in the accident. They will even resort to calling your loved one’s actions, or lifestyle, into question in the hopes of having the claim completely denied. Unless you and your Texas wrongful death lawyer have meticulously built a strong case with relevant evidence that can speak on your loved one’s behalf, an insurer may be able to wiggle out of liability for a fatal accident and get them off the hook of paying no compensation whatsoever. This means justice against the insured negligent defendant who is denied, and he too is off the hook for the accidental death of your loved one. With over two decades of experience in taking-on these types of insurers, our Law Firm is well-acquainted with their methods and tactics and knows how to counter every one of them. This means that you’re treated fairly by the insurance companies that have no interest at all in anything other than keeping their money.

Additionally, as we’ve already told you, the longer you wait to contact an experienced local wrongful death lawyer, the more harm you may unintentionally be doing to your case. Evidence can disappear, or can even be removed by those who wish to avoid being held accountable for their actions. Witnesses can become increasingly difficult to track down. Or they may forget critical details in connection to the fatal accident. Or they may have been “encouraged” by defendants to forget, or they might disappear altogether. This is why it is critical for investigators to be on the scene of a fatal accident as soon as possible after it has occurred, which is why it is equally important that you not hesitate in calling a Texas wrongful death lawyer if you want to build a strong legal case toward fair compensation for your loved one’s wrongful death..

Slip and fall accidents can occur at any time, at any place with of course, with absolutely no warning. In some cases the injuries obtained seem quite minor and in others there is severe head, neck or back trauma. Unless the slip and fall accident results in absolutely no injury at all it is always best to contact an attorney.
The reason for this is because a small and seemingly harmless injury could become worse or have lasting negative effects. For example, you may feel just fine for the rest of that day or even that week but notice the onset of headaches, neck pains or other issues later down the road as a result of an injury that was undetected or untreated.
When a person has a slip and fall accident, a full medical work up should be done on that person no matter what the circumstances are and no matter how “fine” they feel. It cannot be emphasized enough how important this really is. If there is no record of medical attention being sought and no police report on file, it is very difficult to open a claim later. In cases where some sort of unknown or unpredicted injury does ensue, people who have no documentation have much weaker cases, if any at all.

Some people are too “nice” to file a report and make a claim, thinking they will be creating a hardship on a property or business owner. This is a very noble sentiment but when it comes right down to it, will that person or organization be as kind to you should you develop long terms problems later? If you do not seek compensation, you will not get it. It is just as simple as that.
If you or a loved one has been hurt in a slip and fall accident, then do not wait to act.

Seek medical attention for your injuries, no matter how slight and then seek legal representation. We have years of experience in handling slip and fall accidents at our law firm and will be happy to sit down with you and discuss the details of your claim.

When someone suffers a concussion (mild traumatic brain injury) their incidence of future degenerative brain disease increases. When someone suffers multiple or repeat concussions, there is a strong link between the concussions and future degenerative disease.

We know this from recent studies, reports, and research. And, anyone who works with injury victims who have sustained concussions knowns this from experience. In fact, we have written extensively on the link between concussions and long-term impairment.

The research and our experience, however, does not answer the question of why: why do concussions or other traumatic brain injuries increase the risk of degenerative brain disease?

The full answer is that the brain is a complex organ that we are still trying to fully understand. The short answer is that we simply don’t know.

It was first theorized that the long-term damage cam from the initial trauma. For instance, when someone suffers a severe whiplash injury, or a trauma to the head, what is taking place inside the head is a sudden acceleration and/or deceleration of the brain. The brain is bouncing around and hitting first one side of the skull and then the other.

And despite the traumatic nature of this event, it does not explain the slow progression of the loss of function and cognition problems and eventual issues such as Alzheimer’s and dementia.

However, we do have several competing theories that attempt to explain the phenomena; the link between concussions or traumatic brain injury and degenerative brain disease. Author and researcher John Medina has written extensively on this subject in his best selling book, “Brain Rules.”

The central theory that Dr. Medina puts forth involves chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Because of the use of MRI, FMRI and CT scans we know that CTE involves the tangling or knotting of a brain protein called tau. Tau is a normal protein in the brain that supplies nutrients to brain cells and is a normal component of neurons. However, when the neurons and pathways in the brain are interrupted, brain cells begin to die from a lack of nutrients. And this, the theory goes, leads to CTE and all of the cognitive impairment symptoms that come with it.

This is, of course, only one theory that explains CTE and the link between concussions or traumatic brain injury and degenerative brain disease. There are several additional competing theories. Thus, we need more research and studies in order to better and accurately understand exactly what is taking place in the brains of injury victims when they sustain a brain injury.

The better we are able to understand the link between a brain injury and future cognitive problems and brain diseases, the better we will be able to treat injury victims and possibly prevent future impairments from taking place.
