Accidental injuries and work-related injuries

Vehicle accidents involve both traffic law and personal injury law. If you are injured in a vehicle accident, your attorney will work with the person at fault or their insurance company to determine your damages and compensation, and, if necessary, file a lawsuit. The court will review police reports, photographs, New York traffic laws, and other legal concepts and evidence to determine who caused the accident and determine appropriate compensation. The most common types of damages include medical expenses, the cost of repairing or replacing property, and other direct economic losses such as lost wages and damages for pain and suffering.

If you have been injured in a vehicle accident and wish to file a car accident lawsuit, it is imperative that you contact your attorney before the statute of limitations expires.

Approximately 4.7 million Americans are injured each year by dog bites and attacks, with children being particularly vulnerable to serious or fatal injuries. Most dog bites are caused by a neighbor's or friend's dog. If you or a loved one has been bitten by a dog in California, we can help!

Under California Civil Code Section 3342, also known as the "dog bite statute," dog owners are strictly liable for any injury caused by their dog. Even if it's the dog's first attack, the dog owner is responsible for the dog's actions. Dog bites and attacks can have physical, emotional, and financial impacts on every aspect of your life.

In New York, workers injured in construction accidents can recover their lost wages, as well as medical expenses and other economic and non-economic damages paid by the liable party. The first question in a construction accident lawsuit is who is at fault. This is known as liability. While it's not necessary to identify the liable party when filing for workers' compensation benefits, it is essential in a construction accident lawsuit. Depending on the size and complexity of the construction project, liable parties may include: the construction management company, the construction site owner, the contractor and/or subcontractors, the building or building owner, and the architect.

The second issue in a construction accident lawsuit is whether the responsible party complied with the safety standards set by the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) and whether their negligence caused the construction accident.

You should consult with an attorney to handle your claim and protect your rights. New York construction law is complex. A construction accident attorney can assist and guide you through the details of your legal case, such as determining the cause of the accident, determining liability and compensation, applying for workers' compensation benefits, and negotiating your injury claim for the best possible outcome.

If you slip and fall on property owned or maintained by someone else, the property owner may be held liable for negligence and legal liability. Narrow stairways, slippery surfaces, cracked or uneven sidewalks, or hazards created by rain, ice, and potholes can all contribute to slips and injuries.

Generally, you must prove that the accident occurred because of a "safety hazard" and that the property owner knew or should have known about it. The "safety hazard" must have been potentially hazardous and difficult for the victim to foresee. In short, a safety hazard caused by the homeowner's negligence must be foreseeable to cause future danger in order to qualify for prosecution.

Pedestrian accident cases involve collisions between motor vehicles and pedestrians. If the motorist is at fault, the pedestrian may be eligible for compensation. If you were struck by a vehicle while walking, your attorney will conduct litigation and negotiations with the offending vehicle or its insurance company. The court will consider police reports, photographs, witnesses, and other evidence in its decision. In some cases, the government may be held responsible for the accident. Your attorney will carefully consider the circumstances of the case to maximize your client's interests.

If you are hit by a vehicle, please contact a lawyer from Shengqi Law Firm as soon as possible and cooperate with the lawyer in collecting evidence according to his/her guidance.

Bus accidents fall under a special category of accidental injury. Buses are considered public transportation and are legally defined as common carriers. Common carriers are required by law to provide higher standards of safety for passengers. Besides passenger injuries, bus accidents are more likely to involve pedestrians, other drivers, and others, as bus accidents are generally more serious than typical car accidents. Lawyers will carefully review the details of the case and the evidence to determine the appropriate party to claim compensation and protect the client's best interests.

Like other accidental injury cases, once a bus accident occurs, you need to preserve evidence, contact a lawyer and call the police as soon as possible.

Even experienced and competent doctors can make diagnostic errors. However, the misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose must result in improper medical care, delayed treatment, or no treatment, and those incorrect actions must cause the patient's medical condition to worsen in order for a patient to be able to recover damages from the doctor.

First, the patient must prove the existence of a doctor-patient relationship and that the doctor failed to meet the standard of practice of a general physician when diagnosing the patient's condition, and that the doctor's misdiagnosis directly led to the patient's condition worsening. In most cases, misdiagnosis cases involve the standard of care applicable to the medical industry.

Medical malpractice cases require attorneys with extensive expertise. The attorneys at Shengqi Law Firm have years of experience handling these cases and can provide our clients with the most professional advice. If you believe you may have been the victim of medical malpractice, please contact Shengqi Law Firm immediately.

There are two main components to a medical malpractice case: determining who is at fault and then legally proving fault.

First, medical malpractice laws apply not only to doctors and nurses but also to hospitals, anesthesiologists, and other individuals or institutions that provide medical services. If you have been injured as a result of receiving medical care, an attorney can help you determine who is liable for your injuries. Determining liability in medical malpractice cases in New York is often a complex matter. Therefore, injured patients are often advised to consult a professional attorney to pursue all responsible parties and recover compensation.

Secondly, once the potentially liable party has been identified, liability must be established under the theories of medical malpractice law. Most medical malpractice cases stem from the negligence of a medical professional in their treatment of a patient, resulting in injury. To prove negligence, you must prove that the defendant's performance fell far short of expectations, that is, below the standard for the field. This requires testimony from a qualified medical expert in the field, explaining the standards within their field. In addition to the expert's testimony, you must also prove that your case is consistent with the expert's testimony, indicating that your treatment was far less effective than expected or that you suffered an injury.

Third, the judge's decision and compensation calculation are not made out of thin air. An attorney can help you determine whether you are eligible for compensation and help you get the maximum compensation amount.

Finally, it's important to note that all lawsuits are subject to time limits, and you must submit the legal documents required for a medical malpractice lawsuit within that timeframe. A professional attorney will analyze your situation, identify potential responsible parties, and invite qualified experts to testify, ultimately ensuring your best interests are served.

Hazardous product torts can cause widespread harm, sickening or even killing many innocent victims. Hazardous product tort cases often arise when companies allow hazardous substances to reach consumers or even their own employees. In a hazardous product tort claim, the victim alleges that exposure to a hazardous substance caused injury or illness. While class action lawsuits are more common, individual victims can also file a lawsuit.

Dangerous goods tort claims are typically filed when:

Occupational exposure: When industrial workers are exposed to toxins, either at high levels for short periods of time or at lower levels for longer periods of time.

Medical drugs: When medical drugs cause unexpected side effects.

Exposure in the home: When people breathe in or ingest hazardous substances (such as toxic mold) in their homes.

Consumer products: When people use products, such as pesticides, that can cause unexpected illnesses.

The damage was caused by a defective product. There are three types of claims: design defect, manufacturing defect, and failure to warn. The most important requirement is proof or explanation of why the product itself was defective, which usually requires analysis and a report from a product expert. You must carefully preserve all relevant evidence to prove your case.

A class action lawsuit is a lawsuit filed by at least 40 plaintiffs who have been injured in the same way and are jointly suing the same defendant who caused their injury. They come together and are represented by one attorney in a class action lawsuit against the same defendant.
