Recommendations on Keeping Records of Personal Injuries
When you’re injured, time can move fast. It can be easy to forget important details, like the times, dates, what you saw, and what you remember of how it happened. Unfortunately, some of the details that are easiest to forget are the things that may be important to establishing your personal injury case down the road.

Keeping detailed records is key for an attorney who is trying to help establish facts in your favor. But after an accident, keeping detailed records can be harder than ever, especially if you’re undergoing medical treatment, dealing with a concussion, or even just managing the headache of insurance or legal paperwork.

Personal Injury in School

School districts, being a division of the government, are usually immune from lawsuits through a principle called “sovereign immunity.” However, there are exceptions to that, such as in the case of gross negligence. Exceptions may also vary depending on who was responsible for the child when the injury occurred. Did it happen on a field trip? Was it on the playground, where someone other than the teacher was in charge? While the individuals involved may change, generally, the district may still be held accountable.

Making a claim against a school district can be complicated. Different rules require filing of certain documents to put a school on notice of a claim, and various deadlines apply to shorten the period of time in which a claim can be brought. Each state’s procedures are different as well.

Florida’s legislature is now at work to undo the state’s no-fault insurance system. The state’s senate has approved a bill that would end the state’s existing program, requiring motorists to only carry bodily injury insurance instead, according to a News Service of Florida report. The senators say the move will likely lower insurance premiums for Floridians.

People who have been injured and it wasn’t their fault — whether it is a car accident, trip at work, or in a more serious incident — they may be wondering how they should go about seeking compensation for their injury. Depending on the circumstances of the injury, there may be a few paths to resolution. An attorney can help people navigate options.

The two primary avenues for recovery are personal injury claims and personal injury lawsuits. While they do share some characteristics, they are separate processes that can lead to different outcomes, and it’s important to know the difference.

What are some common causes for medical malpractice cases?

➡ Negligence

Negligence generally means that a person knew or should have known that they were required to provide a certain standard of care, but failed to do so. This can include items like providing substandard care, not checking on a patient often enough and allowing them to become injured during a hospital stay, or doing something else during a medical procedure. (Learn more information about Negligence by clicking the photo below).

➡ Misdiagnosis

Medicine is a challenging field, but doctors are experts. They are thoroughly trained to recognize symptoms and pinpoint causes, but they can make mistakes. This can happen if they fail to order a particular test when the evidence points to a particular condition, or if they grossly miss a disease that they generally could have diagnosed. A patient becoming injured or dying due to a preventable or treatable disease is one of the most tragic cases in the medical malpractice field. (Learn more information about Misdiagnosis by clicking the photo below).

➡ Failure to treat

A medical malpractice case based on failure to treat comes from a situation in which a doctor fails to order the appropriate medical tests, discharges a patient from the hospital too soon, or does not perform a procedure that a patient needs. This can apply to prescribing medications as well, if the loss of the medication has caused serious harm. (Learn more information about Failure to treat by clicking the photo below).
