Accident
| An accident is an unexpected event which happens in a certain place and time without necessarily any real reason of cause but usually tainted with some sort of negative outcome on one or both parties involved. Most of the time, an accident can be avoided by one of the individuals involved if certain actions are taken that are usually overlooked or if one of the persons involved had time for a second thought before acting. An accident is sometimes defined by the event itself and not by the situation or facts surrounding or leading up to the accident. In many legal cases, an accident is not just the main incident but is a combination of: actions within a developing situation, existing issues that led up to the accident, errors or miscalculations by any of the main parties involved and/or the outside influence of another party. Many professionals, in the personal injury prevention field, try not to use the actual word, “accident,” because they take a different approach to such situations. More common accidents like auto and fire are diligently studied in order to target how to prevent them from happening in the future. The professional term is, “root cause analysis,” but does not include unpredictable accidents. Some physical causes include collisions, slip and fall accidents, or by grasping something that can cause physical bodily harm.
There are many different types of accidents; one that would be categorized under a freak accident would be, “an act of God.” It is very difficult to bring a court claim against the natural powers that be. Even though, most insurance companies do insure individuals against the dangers of certain natural events like hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, or wildfires. Another group of accidents that seems to be increasing year by year is amusement park accidents. They are increasingly responsible for causing more deaths among American families every year. There have also been thousands of accidents involving inflatable items such as, water slides and rubber tubes. There have been many safeguard put in place to protect people against these types of mishaps, but they still happen. Irresponsible behavior, carelessness, and/or disregard for park rules and regulations are the major factors involved in amusement park accidents. Most accidents don’t occur without at least one individual involved. Accidents are usually a consequence of an individual’s negligence or carelessness, or they can attributed to dangerous weather or climate, which can place a person in a precarious situation. Accidents cause injuries to people, damage to property, and create financial grief and hardship for the innocent persons that have to pay for the costs of those damages. If the individual that is responsible for the accident, does not accept responsibility for that accident. You are permitted to take bring a legal claim against that person or entity in court to recover any financial losses and/or medical expense caused by the accident. In order to get full compensation for your injury, it is best to consult a qualified accident attorney to support and represent you through this difficult period. |
