The idea of filing a medical malpractice claim can be very frightening to many people. After all, when we go to our doctors, we are seeking medical assistance in an area that they are extremely proficient in, and it seems odd to think that they would make a serious mistake. You may even feel that nobody will take your claims seriously, and that you will only make a fool of yourself by trying to accuse a medical professional of malpractice.
We often talk about the dangers of truck accidents and how serious the injuries they cause can be, as well as how complex the legal matters surrounding truck accidents can be. Talking about hypotheticals is one thing, but showing examples is quite another. One New York family has spent the past few years learning firsthand just how difficult these truck accident cases can be.
There are many different types of motor vehicle accidents that could occur, including pedestrian accidents, bicycle accidents and more. Due to the population density of New York City, it is likely that there are more types of these accidents than in other places, especially since so many New Yorkers choose to walk or bike through the city. However, simply due to the sheer number of passenger cars on the road, car accidents still make up the majority of motor vehicle accidents in the state.
Product liability generally boils down to proving there was a dangerous property factor that the owner knew about or should have known about, and that this property condition directly contributed to an injury. This often manifests in loose handrails causing people to slip on the stairs, or in overheating appliances that cause burn injuries. However, it can also apply to animals that have aggressive tendencies.
