• Significant hit and run car accidents lead to serious injuries: It is vital for individuals who have sustained injuries in an accident to know that they are entitled to benefits whether or not they were responsible for the accident. In some cases, individuals that are pedestrians that are injured in a car accident are owed damages. For those involved in a vehicle accident or a slip and fall accident, it is important to seek advice from a personal injury lawyer.
  
• Independent medical examinations: An independent medical examination is an assessment that is requested by an insurance company for claimants to attend so that they can have a detailed report. The assessors in these examinations are paid for by the insurance company. Typically IME’s are used by insurance companies to deny claimants benefits.
• Surgery after construction accident: In an incident in which an individual is injured due to no fault of their own and due to an unsafe environment, it is important to contact a personal injury lawyer. There might be various entities that could be responsible for the accident. It is key for claimants to compile all of the necessary information as quickly as possible.
