Lower Extremity Injuries From Motorcycle Accidents
Somebody involved in a motorcycle accident is more likely to suffer a lower-extremity injury than one of the upper-extremity. Injuries to the upper body such as the head and chest tend to be more serious and even fatal, though those happening to the lower body can still carry certain seriousness with them and involve complications like infections and amputations. Here are some of the most common accidents you may suffer from: Pelvic fractures, that can result in stable of unstable pelvic injuries and cause bleeding or surgery Hip injuries that include fractures and dislocations Knee injuries such as the ACL, MCL, PCL, and meniscus as well as fractures of the knee cap or knee joint Leg injuries including fractures of the tibia, fibula, and femur that can result in severe blood loss and infections of the bone Foot, ankle, and toe injuries such as breaks How Will I be Compensated in an Accident? If you have been involved in a motorcycle accident, you may wonder what damages are available to you. Because lower extremity injuries can be so serious, you may be entitled to compensatory damages to repay you for medical expenses, repairs, and lost wages, general damages for pain and suffering, and punitive damages to punish a defendant after they have acted negligently. You may have to meet certain deadlines for filing a claim so speak to us today about your options!
Hiring a Wrongful Termination Lawyer For Your Claim
Before you enlist in a wrongful termination attorney, you want to ask yourself: Was I wrongfully terminated from my job? Many employment relationships are nothing more than at-will, which means that either the employer or the employee may terminate the relationship at any time without reason. Federal anti-discrimination laws are in place to protect you as an employee if you were “let go” because of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, disability, pregnancy, and so much more. However, you may need an attorney for more than a discriminatory case. For instance, many employees every year violate the contracts that they write up. This is why you may need an attorney on your side to protect your rights. What Evidence Do You Have? One way that an attorney may be able to help you through your case is with the usage of strong evidence. Did your employer give you written documents entailing why you were terminated? Did you receive performance reviews up until the date of your termination? Were there any witnesses that saw a particular treatment or discriminatory action taken against you by an employer? These are all considerations that need to be made to assess whether or not you have a case. Were There Financial Losses? You do not want to handle one of these cases alone, because you may lose out on beneficial opportunities to receive compensation for your losses. In a wrongful termination case, you may be looking at damages like lost pay, lost benefits, possible emotional distress damages, and potential punitive damages. You may also be entitled to attorney’s fees depending on the turn your case takes. Before speaking to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission about your case, seek the help from an attorney that knows what they’re talking about.

Uber Law: Driving Accidents, Fatalities, and More
Many studies over the past few years since Uber’s emergence have shown that the ridesharing service is doing quite well – possibly even reducing the likelihood of accidents. People who would have otherwise gotten behind the wheel of a car drunk are now choosing Uber to take them where they need to go. Of course, there are many scenarios, but this is an important issue to address in times where the likelihood of drunk driving always seems to be skyrocketing. You may or may not have known, but Uber has an insurance policy to cover both drivers and passengers in the event of an accident. This is important to understand in the event that you are injured in one of these unsightly accidents, as accidents can strike at any time. Coverage sometimes hits $50,000 per injury if the driver’s personal insurance will not cover the issue. One of the most vital aspects that you must understand in these cases is that Uber employees are not actually “employees” but, rather, third-party providers. This means that a company is not technically liable for the actions of the contractor. So, even though insurance may be effective for covering your injuries, you may not be able to sue the company for extra damages. The best step that you can take in one of these cases is to gather as much evidence as possible to prove your claim. Determining fault in one of these crashes, whether you were a passenger or a pedestrian who was injured, depends on how much evidence you are able to collect against the party. These accidents are almost like any other car accident in many ways. Call us today to discuss your claim so that we can help you get the most out of your case as well as the compensation to cover your injuries.
