Accidents Do Happen, But...

Do you ever watch those real-life emergency room TV shows? You never cease to be amazed at the predicaments and life-threatening dilemmas people get themselves into. One featured a man with an five-foot branch pierced through his neck, another with a picket fence slat in a similar position. In one episode, a guy walked in with an ax stuck in his skull. Ironically, the ER personnel just smiled at him. Why? It was Halloween night, and everyone in the place was in costume. Unfortunately, he was not.

Accidents happen every day. Some can be blamed on one's own stupidity, of course. (See photo above.) Many, however, occur due to human error and negligence (someone else's), and could have been prevented with a little effort and forethought. Examples might include boat accidents, slip and fall injuries, dog attacks, hit and runs, electicutions, and, well, you name it.

Of course, some accidents aren't "accidents" at all. Today, I heard about a case in Long Island where a band of unruly teenages went on a spending spree using stolen credit cards, bought and hurled frozen turkeys at oncoming cars, severely injuring a 44-year-old woman, Victoria Ruvolo. The turkey shattered nearly every bone in her face.

If you have been injured in an accident (no matter who seems to be at fault) or as the result of someone else's negligence (or worse), ny lawyers can probably help. Get your free case evaluation.
