Insurance adjusters thrive off the confusion and misery that accidents cause in people’s lives. The adjuster’s job is to make the insurance company more money by paying less money to injured people who deserve it. They do this by taking advantage of any instances where an accident victim does not have proof of damages or injuries. We know that’s not fair, so we’ve put together some ways that accident victims can show proof of their injuries and beat the insurance adjusters at their own game.
Truck drivers work hard, sometimes too hard and often drive while fatigued. Some are not familiar with the local roadways and some are simply inexperienced. Every year, thousands of people are killed or sustain serious injuries in accidents involving commercial trucks. Tragically, many of these accidents are the result of negligent truck drivers and their employers. These accidents can result from poor driving, including the failure to yield the right of way to pedestrians, vehicles, bicyclists, as well as other violations of the relevant vehicle and traffic laws. Some accidents also involve the failure to properly maintain and/or equip the involved truck.

For the taxi cab driver, time is money. The more fares he or she gets in a shift, the better the pay day. For that reason, many cabbies cut corners on safety. They often drive too fast or carelessly. Couple this with the fact that much of their driving is done in crowded streets of cities like Perth Amboy, Jersey City, Newark, Elizabeth, New Brunswick and East Orange.
Motorists are supposed yield to pedestrians. If you are ever been out walking and had to cross a street; though, you know that not every driver lives up to this. In fact, some drivers try to intimidate pedestrians by playing a game of “chicken” with them. The same goes for bicyclists. Not all drivers are overly aggressive, though some just do not pay enough attention.

Thousands of construction workers are injured or killed in construction site accidents each year. Many accidents involve falls, defective machinery, explosions and scaffolding mishaps. Injuries caused by these accidents are usually severe and result in serious disability that prevents the injured from returning to work. Many of these accidents could have been prevented if proper safety precautions were taken. The site manager needs to develop clear safety rules and guidelines concerning safety precautions and ensure these rules are enforced. People in charge of the site may be held responsible for any accidents that occur. Often workers are asked to perform unsafe tasks and fear to complain out of concern for their job.
People keep pets for a variety of reasons. By doing so; however, they cannot make their property unsafe any more than if they failed to discharge a duty to remove snow from their sidewalks. In fact, under New Jersey Law, an owner of a dog which bites someone is strictly liable. In case you or any of your loved ones is bitten by a dog, it would be a good idea to take the name of the owner of the dog and perhaps, some pictures of the animal.
Workers’ Compensation law is designed to help injured workers as well as employers in dealing with the problems of health insurance. The Workers Compensation Act provides benefits to workers who are injured on the job or suffer an occupational disease arising out of and in the course of employment. The benefits under Workers Comp include weekly payments based on a percentage of the employee’s average weekly wage for temporary total disability, partial disability, permanent and total disability and permanent loss of function and disfigurement. Workers’ Comp also covers medical expenses for treatment that is reasonable, necessary and related to the industrial injury and vocational rehabilitation services. Unfortunately Workers Compensation alone may be insufficient compensation especially in the case of very serious and catastrophic personal injuries. As indicated above it is necessary to look for a negligent third party such as the manufacturer of a dangerous or defective product, improper safety devices or some other party who is at fault. These cases require immediate attention and expertise because the responsible third party may be difficult to locate and evidence (such as a piece of defective machinery) needs to be preserved. If you have been injured in a work accident, consult an experienced Workers Compensation Lawyer at The Law Office of Karim Arzadi.
