Accident ClaimThe most common type of accident claim is road traffic accidents, accidents at work, tripping accidents, assault claims, accidents in the home, defective product accidents, and holiday accidents. In fact, there are a multitude of types of accident and the term 'personal injury' also incorporates medical and dental accidents (which lead to numerous medical and dental negligence claims every year) and conditions which are often classified as industrial disease cases. Industrial disease type cases include asbestosis and mesothelioma, chest diseases (e.g. emphysema, pneumoconiosis, silicosis, chronic bronchitis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and chronic obstructive airways disease), vibration white finger, occupational deafness, occupational stress, contact dermititus, and repetitive strain injury cases. Where the accident was the fault of someone else, the injured party may be entitled to monetary compensation from the person whose negligent conduct caused the injury. At least in the United States, this system is complex and controversial with critics calling for various forms of tort reform. Attorneys often represent clients on a 'contigency basis,' in which the attorney does not charge for services until the case is resolved. Often, the use of a Structured Settlement is desired by the injury victim to help protect them financially after an injury settlement. Structured Settlements provide injury victims with tax benefits and enable proper financial planning for future needs of the injury victim as a result of the injury. |
