Decubitus Ulcers or commonly known as pressure sores or bedsores, are a breakdown of skin and tissue resulting from a lack of blood flow or stress that deprives the skin or tissue of oxygen, thus killing the skin or surrounding tissue. If you or a family member has a bedsore, and you acquired this injury while under medical supervision, you may have a viable claim. Feel free to contact Cory T. Knight today to discuss your case, or click here to contact our Florida private investigators.

With every case, we have a game plan, a plan of action. First, we get as much information from you and your family as possible. We do this by our in office or over the phone interview of you. We also send you a checklist of things to do and to get us. This is your homework assignment. Next we investigate. That may mean that we talk to witnesses, including you and your family and friends. That also may mean getting whatever reports are out there on the incident.

In non-ERISA cases, the plaintiff may recover damages caused by the insurance company's breach of contract. The plaintiff might also be able to raise additional claims if court finds that the insurer's refusal to pay constitutes bad faith. In North Carolina, the state consumer protection statute provides for recovery of treble damages and attorney's fees in certain instances. Punitive damages may be available in extraordinary cases.

The answer depends on the nature of the suit and individual circumstances. Some class actions seek recovery for a large group of people; however, individual damages may be small. For instance, if a credit card company was improperly charging interest, and as a result every class member paid $100 more than should have been charged, it may not be practical because of the cost of litigation to pursue such a case individually.

While no one can know for sure whether any particular claim will settle or require litigation in court, more than 80 percent of personal injury claims settle. A lawsuit may be necessary in cases where an insurance company disputes some aspects of the claim. Even if a lawsuit is filed, it is very likely that the claim will settle before a full trial. Our attorneys are experienced litigators and negotiators.

Yes. Filing a claim with the HCPO is separate and independent of any claim you may have with a law firm.

Yes, and the time limits are different depending on the type of claim or lawsuit being brought on behalf of the child. Generally speaking, in order to bring a state law claim against a governmental agency, a claim must be presented within six (6) months from the "date of accrual" of the claim. See Gov. Code 911.2(a) The "date of accrual" is typically the date of injury, but may be later if the claim is based on "delayed discovery" of the claim. See Gov. Code 901.

If you had insurance coverage for the claim or lawsuit with a carrier that is now impaired, you should immediately contact TPCIGA and send a copy of the claim and/or lawsuit to our office.

Most personal injury claims don't become lawsuits. In most cases, a claim is filed with an insurance company. At Ernest Holzberg & Associates, we have extensive experience negotiating with insurance adjusters to get you the best settlement offer. The decision to accept any offer is up to you. Rarely is there an actual lawsuit and trial.

Timing is important; the FLSA will allow you to get the money you are owed 2 years before you file the complaint in court. If the employer knowingly disregarded federal regulations, the FLSA will entitle you to money you are owed for the 3 years before you file the complaint in court. If you are owed money outside those time limits you won’t be able to get the money; time will have run out.

In summary, the complaint alleges a conspiracy among Local 3 and several electrical contractors to eliminate competition by the plaintiffs in the market for telecommunications installation in the New York City metropolitan area.
