WHEN THE FIRE GETS HOTTER, A BURN INJURY LAWYER CAN COOL THINGS DOWN

November 2, 2011

Burn injuries from accidents bring about tremendous trauma not only for the victims but also to their families. Burn injuries may not only lead to physical but also psychological pain. The medical costs can be astronomical.

I have represented many burn injury victims. I have written about prevention and what to do if you or a family member has become a victim. If you or a member of your family is a victim of burn injury due to the negligence of another person, you have a right to claim damages. As a burn injury lawyer, I can help you determine negligence in an accident and hold the offender liable for your injuries.

You can consult with me or members of our burn injury team at Stark&Stark. http://www.stark-stark.com


IS A SERIOUS INJURY LAW SUIT A MYSTERY?

August 15, 2011

TO  MANY IT IS.  IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE.

Forty-five years of practicing law has taught me that people do not understand personal injury lawsuits.

You may have a personal injury lawsuit when another individual or entity is responsible for your injuries either through fault or negligence.

The most common personal injury lawsuits are motor vehicle and slip and fall accidents.

Personal injury lawsuits are call tort law suits. Torts are civil wrongs that result in injury or damages and are punishable by law to compensate victims for injuries and deter others from committing similar wrongs. Tort law varies from state to state.

To establish a personal injury lawsuit, you must establish liability and damages. Liability refers to the person at fault for your injury. Liability is proven on the basis of negligence, strict liability and intentional wrongdoing.

A party is found to be negligent if they did not take appropriate behavior to prevent your injury.

Strict liability holds a manufacturer or supplier responsible for injuries caused by appropriate use of their product, regardless of fault.

An intentional wrong is committed when an individual knows their actions will cause harm, but proceeds with the action anyway.

Damages include the physical, mental and emotional harm endured from an accident.

Laws governing personal injury lawsuits are complex and the very nature of personal injury claims is complicated. For information about a personal injury lawsuit, you are advised to consult a lawyer. If you have questions about a lawsuit about a serious injury, The Stark Injury Group is available for free consultations. http://www.starkinjurygroup.com


SERIOUSLY INJURED? SEEK HELP

August 5, 2011

INSURANCE COMPANIES often rush SERIOUSLY INJURED people into quick, cheap and unfair settlements. They try to save money at your expense.

The sooner you call a lawyer with experience, an investigation can begin for you. Time is on the side of the insurance company. The longer you wait, the more you are at a disadvantage. Witnesses forget, or, worse yet, move. Physical evidence disappears. Claim deadlines may run out.

ACT NOW. I know how insurance companies think. I know insider secrets to winning a personal injury battle.

For a consultation, call Albert Stark or a member of the Stark & Stark injury team at 1 609 896 9060. I have a network of experienced lawyers in every state, developed during the 45 years of representing seriously injured people.


UNDERSTANDING FEES IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY CASES.

July 1, 2011

“How do you charge?” I can not count how many times I have been asked that question by someone who suffered a serious injury.

When you are considering various personal injury lawyers, whom you would like to hire, a very important question going through your mind will be the monetary part of it or the fees which they can charge. There is no doubt that when it comes to hiring a personal injury lawyer, the principal concern that most people have is fees. It will be good if one can better understand how fees are evaluated in a personal injury case.

Usually personal injury lawyers charge  contingency fees. To put it in other words, the lawyer will only earn a fee  when he or she is triumphant.

If your case needs experts for the trial, you will also have to bear the cost of these experts. In New Jersey, those costs, as well as other costs such as filing fees, are deducted before a lawyer’s fee is calculated. That is not true in most other states.

It is always very important to keep in mind that in some cases the law firm can hold you being responsible for all expenses made for your case during the course of the trial even if you do not win. So it is extremely important that you read the contract associated with personal injury lawyers thoroughly. Be sure that you have completely and properly understood your rights and obligations associated with the contract for legal services offered by the firm before you sign an agreement.

If you have questions about a lawyer’s fee in a serious personal injury case, consult with another attorney. Lawyers in the Stark Injury Group are always available to discuss your questions about fees. http://www.starkinjurygroup.com



CAR ACCIDENT? WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

September 14, 2010

My experience has shown me the most common car accident injuries.

Although car accidents can cause many different injuries, to virtually any part of your body, these are the most common car accident injuries:

Facial and Head Injuries- such as a scrape, bruise, laceration, fracture, dental injury.

Brain Injuries – such as a concussion, post-concussion syndrome, closed head injury, traumatic brain injury.

Neck Injuries- such as a sprain, strain, whiplash, fracture, cervical radiculopathy, disc injury.

Shoulder and Arm Injuries – such as a laceration, sprain, strain, fracture, dislocation, rotator cuff injury.

Back Injuries – such as a sprain, strain, fracture, disc injury, thoracic spine injury, lumbar radiculopathy, lumbar spine injury.

Leg, Knee and Foot Injuries – such as a laceration, bruise, fracture, sprain, strain, dislocation, ligament injury, hip injury, knee injury, foot injury.

Psychological Injuries – such as a post traumatic stress disorder.

Death

You should know that that is not always a direct relationship between the severity of the car accident and the seriousness of the injury.

Major accidents usually cause major injuries and minor accidents often result in little or no injury.

But you’ve probably heard about car crashes where a car was totaled but the driver . . . miraculously . . . walked away unharmed. And, you have also probably heard about the opposite situation, where a relatively minor car accident left a driver with injuries that caused a lifetime of problems. All car accident injuries are not obvious right away. Many are, of course. But some aren’t.

As a result of the trauma of the car accident, your body reflexively produces hormones called endorphins which are painkillers. Because of the excitement of the accident and the production of endorphins, you might not know right away that you have been injured.

So what should you do if you suspect that have been injured in a car accident?

You should be examined by a doctor if you have any symptoms of an injury during the first week or two after your car accident, even if it was a fairly low speed impact or a small damage collision.

Better safe than sorry.
