Automobile Accidents

The law provides for recovery of damages for injuries suffered in an automobile crash. The victim of a negligent driver can recover past and future damages for personal injury, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyments of life, permanent disability, medical expenses, property damage, loss of earnings and permanent disfigurement (scars, amputation, etc.). A spouse can recover damages for loss of services and companionship. Liability for injuries often arises from crashes involving drunk driving, speeding, loss of control, failure to stop for a traffic control device, faulty vehicle (blowouts, mechanical failure, etc.) and many, many other fact patterns.

There are usually a number of sources of insurance or money pools to fairly compensate for these injuries, including your own uninsured and under insured policy limits if you are injured by an uninsured or under insured motorist. The problem many injured victims find is that they are matched up against sophisticated insurance adjusters or claims managers who dictate to them how their case will be managed and what will be paid. These individuals are not lawyers. They have the interests of their company or their agency at heart. An injured person cannot rely on them to be treated fairly. The only way to be protected is to know your rights. Don't sign any documents until you talk to an attorney who will have your interests at heart. The attorneys at Sreenan & Cain, P.C. will be happy to provide a free initial consultation to help those suffering personal injury understand their rights and options.

Generally a medical malpractice claim arises where a medical practitioner has negligently caused injury. Medical treatment is negligent if it fails to meet the standard of care generally provided to patients. The fundamental principle is that the physician must possess and apply that degree of knowledge and skill and care that is ordinarily practiced by well-qualified physicians in the locality in which he or she practices. There are a number of theories of liability under which a medical malpractice lawsuit may be brought.
