Reasons You May Need to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer
Having the right support is crucial in the wake of personal injuries and accidents. That's when personal injury lawyers come in to help.
Newland & Newland LLP, a team of dedicated personal injury lawyers, understands the intricacies of these cases and is committed to assisting individuals in their pursuit of justice and rightful compensation.
This blog will explore common scenarios where hiring personal injury attorneys can be a game-changer.
Why Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer
Car Accidents and Negligence
If the car accident happened because someone else wasn't careful, the person who got hurt might have the right to ask for money. – such as texting while driving or disregarding traffic rules. Personal injury attorneys specialize in investigating the accident, collecting proof and talking to insurance companies to ensure you get a fair compensation covering medical expenses, vehicle repairs, and more.
What Are the Potential Consequences of an Incorrect Due Date?
One of the most exciting times in a couple’s life is when they are expecting a baby. Once they learn a baby is on the way and get that due date, all the anticipation and planning begins. That due date is not only important for making preparations for the baby’s arrival, but it is also critical to ensure the progression of the pregnancy is properly monitored and mother and baby are receiving the appropriate prenatal care. And while it is rare that a woman delivers the baby on the actual due date – typically delivery occurs a few days before or after – when there has been a significant miscalculation of the due date, both the baby and the mother’s health can be put at significant risk. An Illinois malpractice attorney can help families who have suffered injuries and losses in these types of cases.
How Is the Due Date Calculated?
Once a doctor has confirmed a woman is pregnant, they will calculate her due date. The first step is determining the first day of the mother’s last menstrual period, counting back three calendar months from that date, and then adding one year and seven days. This will be the estimated due date – which is actually 280 days, beginning with the first day of the mother’s last period.
