Legal Answers
2 Questions Answered
Q. What is a fair settlement after being hit by a driver running a red light causing personal injuries and lost wages?
A: The answer will depend on your medical bills. You need to keep a good record of your day-to-day recovery and records of your lost wages. In a personal injury suit you are entitled to recoup your medical expenses and an amount for your pain and suffering but the later can vary greatly from jurisdiction and is very fact dependent.
Q. Can I sue for negligence after sinus surgery left materials inside?
A: Like many legal questions the answer is maybe. The first requirement is to have another medical professional with a similar speciality or practice to say that your doctor breached the relevant standard of care. Once that had been satisfied you must show that you have suffered damages- I.e. pain, lost wages, medical bills and expenses. Medical malpractice claims tend to be very expensive so many clients and attorneys will spend time weighting the costs v. possible reward before accepting cases.
