Medical Professionals Prepare for Medical Malpractice Lawsuits

by admin@gotechark.com | March 27th, 2017

Most medical professionals in Virginia work extremely hard. It’s not uncommon for nurses and doctors to have double shifts, late nights, and dozens of patients under their supervision at any time. The opportunity to make a mistake is always present, which is why many medical professionals and organizations have medical malpractice insurance. They know that there’s a chance a decision or action they take could cause harm to the patient, so they prepare themselves for that eventuality.

As a patient who has suffered due to medical negligence and/or malpractice, you know just how hard it can be to decide whether or not to file a medical malpractice lawsuit.

Injured? 3 Questions to Ask Yourself

by admin@gotechark.com | March 20th, 2017

If you’ve been injured, you’re probably wondering whether or not you have a personal injury case. You’re not alone. The majority of the calls we receive from accident victims are about finding an answer to that very question. Although a free consultation from Lowell Stanley Injury Lawyers is a simple way to find out if you have a case, you can ask yourself 3 questions before you make the call to determine if a lawyer might be able to help:

Was the accident caused by someone else’s negligence? Whether you were involved in a car crash or a slip and fall incident, the person or organization at fault should be responsible for your injuries. If someone other than yourself caused your accident, you may have a personal injury claim.

Were you injured? Seems fundamental, but it’s an important component to any personal injury case. To have a personal injury claim, you need to have sustained injuries due to your accident. If you did, you may have a personal injury claim.

Do you expect to incur expenses due to your injuries? To simplify a complex process, personal injury claims are essentially about recovering compensation for expenses or hardships you incur due to your injuries. From medical expenses to lost wages, you may be entitled to significant compensation for your injuries.

If you answered “yes” to all of the above questions, chances are you have a personal injury claim and should consult with a personal injury attorney right now. Call today for your free consultation. Our law firm wants to review your case for free and fight to get you every dollar you deserve.

What You Need to Understand about the Insurance Industry

by admin@gotechark.com | March 13th, 2017

How do insurance companies make billions of dollars in profit every year? It’s simple math. They take in more insurance premiums than they pay out in claims. How do they do that? By running millions of dollars in ads that get you to sign up while denying or minimizing claims that come in. As long as they keep that scale tipping in their favor, the profits continue to roll in.

The thing you need to understand about the insurance industry is that although their marketing efforts center on how they’ll protect you in the event of an accident, your insurance company is a business first. Altruism is far from their first motivation. In fact, from the moment your accident occurs, you become a liability to them. In business speak, you get moved to accounts payable, meaning they owe you money. It’s in their best interests to minimize your claim, and they’ve become really good at it.

If you’ve been injured in a car accident, don’t try to take on the insurance company alone. Call a Norfolk car accident attorney at Lowell Stanley Injury Lawyers for a free consultation. We’ve been dealing with insurance companies for more than 30 years. We know what your case is worth, and we’ll fight to get you every dollar you deserve.

Wrongful Death? Don’t Face the Future Alone

by admin@gotechark.com | March 6th, 2017

Anger. Confusion. Sadness. If you’ve had someone tragically taken from you, those are just a few of the many emotions you’re cycling through. The death of a loved one is hard, no matter the circumstances. When his or her death could have been avoided or was caused by someone else’s negligence, it’s natural to feel angry. After all, you’ve lost more than a companion; you’ve lost the potential that loved one had for the future. Now that he or she is gone, you’re left to face the future alone.

That future is going to look quite different than it would have if the careless individual or company hadn’t caused your loved one’s death. Everything that took two before must be done with only one. That’s a sad reality to contemplate, especially when you consider the financial implications.

by admin@gotechark.com | February 27th, 2017

Certain life experiences stick out in our minds more than others, such as the day you met your spouse—or the day your child was born. Unfortunately for some Norfolk families, the memory of their child’s birth can be more painful than joyful.

Norfolk Consumers Deserve Better

by admin@gotechark.com | February 20th, 2017

We’re only a couple months into 2017 and already there have been a number of new defective products released on the market. That’s no surprise.

Maximizing Your Car Accident Injury Claim Isn’t Automatic

by admin@gotechark.com | February 13th, 2017

Most every vehicle out on the road today has certain standard safety features, such as airbags and seatbelts. These features are intended to do one thing: save your life in the event of an accident. They don’t require you to hit a button at just the right time or speak any command out loud at the moment of impact. They simply do their job when the time comes.

Wouldn’t it be great if there were a device or service that automatically saved your financial future after an accident? Moments following your accident, this revolutionary technology would already be calculating what your accident is going to cost you and negotiating with the insurance company on your behalf to secure that amount. That would truly be incredible. Unfortunately, no such technology exists. But a Norfolk car accident attorney at Lowell Stanley Injury Lawyers can help.

If you’ve been injured in a car accident, give us a call for a free consultation. We’ll fully investigate your case to determine the true worth of your accident and fight to get you every penny you deserve. Contact our law firm today for your free, no obligation consultation. If we believe we can help, we’ll do so at no cost to you until we get you money.

Compensation for Norfolk Medical Malpractice Victims

by admin@gotechark.com | February 6th, 2017

Medical malpractice is a real problem in the U.S. Thousands of medical negligence claims are reported every year, many of which result in settlements or verdicts benefiting the victims. In a perfect world, the threat of being seriously impacted by a medical professional’s negligence would no longer happen, but that’s just not reality. Medical professionals make mistakes, and the patient is always the one who suffers.

Even if you have irrefutable proof that you’ve been the victim of medical malpractice, it can be difficult to get the money you deserve for your injuries. The hospital you would be filing a claim against has teams of lawyers looking out for their best interests in such matters. They know how to minimize or completely eliminate threats that could impact their bottom line, and that includes your injury claim.

That’s why it’s so important that you get an experienced legal team working on your behalf as soon as possible. Without an experienced medical malpractice firm by your side, you’re going into a fight you probably can’t win. Call a Norfolk medical malpractice attorney today for a free consultation. We know what you’ve been through. We know what you deserve as a result. And we’ll do everything within our power to make sure you get every dollar.

If you’ve been the victim of medical malpractice, the legal help you need is just a phone call away. Contact us today for a free consultation.

The Workers’ Comp Benefits You Deserve

by admin@gotechark.com | January 30th, 2017

Workers’ compensation insurance is a great system in theory. It’s a way for business owners to minimize their liability and ensure their workers are covered in the event of an on-the-job injury. Unfortunately, theory and reality don’t always align. How it actually works out for the accident victim, in our experience, is that worker’s compensation covers a fraction of the overall cost of their accident, leaving the injured worker and his or her family holding the bills.

That’s why calling a workers’ compensation attorney at Lowell Stanley Injury Lawyers is always the right first step following a workplace accident. We know what your injury claim is truly worth and will put the full weight of our legal experience behind getting you that amount. That includes money for lost wages, all of your medical expenses, and extended benefits if you injury resulted in a disability. In addition, we may be able to secure the following under the Virginia Workers’ Compensation Act:

  • Lifetime medical benefits
  • Permanent partial impairment
  • Death benefits
  • Cost of living expenses
  • Vocational rehabilitation

If you’ve been injured on the job, call an experienced Norfolk workers’ comp attorney today for a free evaluation of your claim. You have a right to maximum benefits for your injuries, and we’ll ready to fight to get you nothing less. Don’t try to take on the insurance company alone. Contact our firm today.

Car Accident? Choose Calculation over Chance

by admin@gotechark.com | January 23rd, 2017

We’re not big gamblers at Lowell Stanley Injury Lawyers. We’ll always choose calculation over chance. That’s why if we take on your case, you can be sure we believe we’re going to win. How can we be so confident? Experience. Over the years, we’ve helped hundreds of car accident victims in Norfolk get the compensation they deserve. We know how the system works. We know how the insurance companies work. And we know how to maximize your injury claim.

If you’ve been in an accident, you shouldn’t gamble either. In our opinion, taking on the insurance company alone is the equivalent of rolling the dice on your future. You don’t know what your case is worth or what your accident is going to cost you. So how can you know if the insurance company’s offer is going to cover all of your expenses? The answer is you can’t. And if you take that low settlement, chances are you’ll regret it down the road when the money runs out but the bills just keep on coming.

Make the right choice instead. Call an experienced Norfolk car accident attorney for a free consultation. We want to uncover the true cause of your accident and fight to get you maximum compensation for your injuries. Your future is too important to risk it on a roll of the dice. Call our law firm today, and we’ll start working immediately to get you the compensation you deserve.
