Pembroke Pines Heavy Equipment Failures

Some industries, such as construction work, rely on heavy machinery for work and for safety. In order for these dangerous pieces of equipment to be safe, they must be designed and manufactured correctly and they must be maintained and used responsibly. When this fails to happen, innocent workers are often catastrophically injured in workplace accidents in Pembroke Pines and across Florida.

The attorneys at Flaxman Law Group have worked with thousands of families devastated by workplace injuries and other personal injury attorneys. One of the most devastating things about these cases is that injured parties often work hard to get better and rely heavily on insurance companies to pay for medical bills and replace lost income. Unfortunately, in some cases insurance companies undervalue and deny claims, meaning that deserving families face foreclosure, eviction, ruined credit ratings, and other financial distress. The attorneys at Flaxman Law Group have dedicated their lives to helping plaintiffs get justice and compensation in their cases. If you believe we may be of help in your case, please do not hesitate to call us at 866-352-9626 at no charge.

Unexpected medical costs are the leading cause of personal bankruptcy in the U.S. Even if you have medical coverage or are protected by workers compensation in Pembroke Pines, you may face foreclosure, bankruptcy, and other financial devastation after a serious injury. Catastrophic injuries often are extremely expensive. Even some diagnostic tests in Florida can cost more than a thousand dollars. Someone who has sustained a very serious spinal cord injury or brain injury can end up accruing more than one hundred thousand dollars in medical bills and medical treatments in one year alone. Some injuries require long-term care, rehabilitation, at-home care or other long-term treatments that can end up costing hundreds of thousands of dollars over a lifetime.

In addition to medical bills, patients often cannot work and need to find ways to make up for the loss of income. Many also accrue incidental costs, such as transportation costs to and from the hospital or the costs associated with making their homes and cars accessible. For someone who is seriously and permanently injured, it is not unusual for the total costs of their injuries to amount to more than a million dollars over a lifetime. However, virtually no insurance company will pay out this amount even in the case of a serious injury without a personal injury attorney getting involved and representing the injured worker. For this reason, working with a personal injury attorney in Pembroke Pines just makes sense.
