Wikipedia defines personal injury as “a legal term for an injury to the body, mind or emotions, as opposed to an injury to property.” It’s important to know the various kinds of personal injury cases and what to do in case you or a loved one are ever involved with one.

3 Types of Personal Injury

Auto Accident – A drive may be injured due to no fault of their own. The other driver may have intentionally or unintentionally caused the accident. They may have fell asleep at the wheel, been under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or simply got distracted. If the accident wasn’t your fault, you can file a claim against the responsible driver.

Medical Malpractice – A doctor or medical practitioner has a duty to provide us with fair services, including the right diagnosis, treatment, and medicine. If a doctor ever takes advantage of a patient or doesn’t provide services under the law, he or she can have legal actions taken against them.

Slip and Fall – Owners of public places such as stores and restaurants have an obligation to maintain a safe premises. If someone slips or falls at their place of business, the owner may be liable for any injuries that person sustains.

If you injured at no fault of your own, be sure to contact the Peck Law Group right away. We understand how difficult a time this is. Please call us today for a complementary case evaluation at 1-866-999-9085 or fill out the form on our contact page.

Federal Agency Moves to Prevent Nursing Home Arbitration

Slip and Fall Accident Victim Speaking with Attorney in California

The Department of Health and Human Services has just made it much easier to sue nursing homes for claims of elder abuse, wrongful death, and sexual harassment. This comes at a time where elder abuse and nursing home abuse has sky rocked. In fact, a whopping 1 in 6 nursing home residents faces some form of abuse each year.

It’s a Win for Nursing Home Abuse Victims

The federal agency, the Department of Health and Human Services, controls billions of dollars in Medicare & Medicaid funding and recently set a rule to stop nursing home abuse claims from being moved into the private system (also called arbitration). This rule, affecting 1 ½ million nursing home residents, will give the residents important new protections.
Nursing Home Admission Contracts actually contain fine print that pushes any disputes about the quality and safety of care into arbitration and out of the public view. This false system has actually made it difficult for victims of abuse to get justice, simply to reduce the legal costs of nursing homes.
