Happy Thanksgiving From Malloy Law Offices
The holidays are here at last. As the cold weather sets in and the days grow short, we keep spirits high and bellies full of holiday cheer. Thanksgiving marks the formal start of the season. The starting gun for the race to New Years and your winter solstice festival of choice is fired as turkeys hit tables and cranberry sauces exit jars all over America. But here at Malloy Law Offices, we’re still hard at work fighting for our clients. Festive times don’t mean tragedy can’t strike innocent people, as much as we wish otherwise. This Thanksgiving, same as every other, Malloy Law Offices has a full plate for personal injury cases. We’re always ready for seconds. Today’s blog post will be a seasonal look at our various practice areas, to tell you what’s on our plate. Let’s dig in.
Car Accidents: The Meat and Potatoes
The role of the “turkey” in this analogy is always going to be slightly depressing. But it’s inarguably necessary. Just as you can tell a lot about an individual by how they allocate space on their thanksgiving plate, you can learn a lot about American society by examining personal injury law. The institution of American personal injury law inarguably deals with car accidents more than any other variety of case. While numbers are obviously varied between states and municipalities, approximately 52% of all personal injury cases stem from car accidents.
One might expect a lack of empathy from people who deal with car accidents as everyday business. On the contrary, our perspective as Maryland, Virginia, and Washington DC’s leading car accident lawyers reminds us every day that these accidents are as tragic as they are preventable. So many clients who come through our doors are the victims of one bad decision, one moment of impatience, one reckless action behind the wheel taken by a negligent driver. When we see the effects these accidents can have, it deepens our resolve to inform people of the importance of safe driving, and advocate aggressively for the injured.
In the holiday season, our educational efforts are especially important. Car accidents, especially those due to DUI, are especially common around this time of year. Safe and sober driving on our roads and highways can help ensure a happy holiday for all.
The Side Dishes
If half the proverbial personal injury plate is covered in car accidents, what fills out the remaining fifty percent? The personal injury sub-genres which pad out our practice are as varied as sides on a Thanksgiving table. Let’s summarize a few.
- Dog Bites – Dog owners have a responsibility to keep their pets from hurting others. If you’re hurt by a dog, you may have case.
- Premises Liability – Property owners have a responsibility to keep their property safe for visitors or at least inform visitors of any potential danger. If you slip and fall or trip and fall, you may have a case.
- Worker’s Compensation – If you’re injured on the job, you may have the legal right to partial compensation while recovering from your injury. A personal injury attorney can help you navigate this process.
- Product Liability – If you purchase a product whose design is hazardous to the user, you may be entitled to compensation in the event of an injury.
- Bike, Scooter, and Motorcycle Accidents – Two-wheeled users of our roads have just as many rights as those with four wheels.
- Catastrophic Injuries – Truly life-changing injuries may require long-term compensation to ensure that the injured person’s quality of life can be maintained.
What’s for Dessert? Compensation
When we finish evaluating, investigating, negotiating, and renegotiating with insurance companies and negligent parties, the reward is always compensation for our clients. The work we do is only worth it if it allows our clients to claim the compensation they deserve and return some emotional health and material stability to their lives. We’re proud to work on the contingency fee system, ensuring we’re only paid when our clients profit. If you don’t get to enjoy dessert, we won’t either.
