ORLANDO, FL, June 09, 2011 (Press-News.org) If you have been injured due to someone else's negligence or reckless behavior, you will need a personal injury lawyer to determine if you have a valid legal claim. Most personal injury attorneys offer a free consultation. At the consultation, the personal injury lawyer will listen to the details of your claim and look at any medical reports you have. He or she will then determine if you have a valid claim. Most types of accidents and injuries have time limits called a statute of limitations, so you only have a certain amount of time to file suit after the injury or accident occurs. The time limits vary from state, so it is in your best interest to contact an attorney as soon as possible.
Types of Personal Injury Cases
There are many ways people suffer personal injuries or wrongful death. Types of personal injury claims include:
- Auto accident
- Truck accident
- Motorcycle accident
- Defective product
- Premises liability
- Medical malpractice
- Nursing home abuse
If you are concerned that you will not be able to afford a good lawyer, you should know that most personal injury lawyers work on what is called a contingency basis, which means they do not get paid unless they win your case. Very few law firms will charge for work performed on your behalf if your case is lost. At the time of your consultation, your lawyer will explain how the contingency fee works at his or her firm, and you can ask questions about other fees at that time.
Personal injury cases, especially cases involving truck accidents and medical malpractice, can be very time-consuming and complex. Most law firms have experts on their staff who stand ready to investigate your case and work on proving you were harmed due to someone else's negligence. Many law firms will even have specialists who can recreate the scene of an accident to prove negligence.
If you live in the Orlando or Winter Park area of Florida and need an experienced personal injury lawyer, please visit the website of the Law Offices of Michael V. Barszcz, M.D., J.D. today at www.themdjd.com.

Bed Sores Raise Red Flag for Nursing Home Neglect
2011-06-09
Decubitis ulcers--most often called bed sores or pressure sores--are one of the most common symptoms of nursing home neglect.
The onset of bed sores is easy to spot, with reddish inflammation appearing around bony areas prone to bearing the weight of lengthy immobilization, such as the hips, tailbone and elbows. Although bed sores are treatable in their early stages, they can lead to serious--even life-threatening--health problems if allowed to progress.
The primary cause of bed sores is neglect. When a person is confined to a bed, chair or wheelchair for a lengthy ...
