- Property DamageA personal injury can have a devastating and life changing impact on your physical and emotional wellbeing, reducing your future earning potential, placing a strain on your personal relationships, and damaging the quality of your life for years to come. You may also be facing mounting debt as a result of medical bills, property damage, and time missed from work as a result of the accident. If you accept an insurance company's offer to settle, you may be selling yourself short. Insurance companies often attempt to settle for well below what your claim is worth, leaving you in a worse financial situation than you were in before the accident. An experienced injury attorney at Yance Law Firm can help you calculate the full amount of your losses to ensure that you receive adequate compensation for your injuries.
- Personal InjuryIndustrial accidents are disasters that occur at industrial or construction sites, typically caused either by negligence or incompetence on the part of a company and/or its owners, managers, supervisors, or employees. Explosions, fires, falls from height, structure collapses and heavy equipment accidents that occur at manufacturing plants, construction sites, factories, and refineries are common examples of industrial accidents. Industrial work environments often pose serious dangers to employees and independent contractors. Employees who are injured in industrial and construction accidents while performing duties required in the course of their employment may be entitled to compensation for their injuries. An experienced personal injury attorney can help industrial accident victims recover damages for their medical bills, physical pain, emotional suffering, time missed from work, and diminished ability to perform daily tasks after the accident. Call Yance Law Firm today at (251) 432-8003 to discuss your industrial accident case.
- Medical MalpracticeMedical malpractice occurs when a health care professional fails to exercise the same level of care, skill, or diligence that is normally exercised by other professionals in the same specialty or school of practice, thereby causing injury or death to a patient. Each year, there are nearly 80,000 people who die as a result of medical errors, and hundreds of thousands more patients suffer permanent, disabling injuries at the hands of medical professionals. Unfortunately, many of these medical errors are avoidable. In Alabama, a medical professional has a duty to adhere to the national standard of care at all times when administering medical treatment to patients. A medical professional’s failure in this regard can lead to legal liability when injuries or death result.
