Why do you need a Personal Injury lawyer in this time of the COVID-19 outbreak?

If you have been injured in a road or other type of accident, you may have many concerns while you are in recovery mode. And the sudden outbreak of COVID-19 has led businesses, courthouses, and people in general to be locked down in their homes. Court closures have prevented the initiation as well as the continuation of cases, especially in high volume courts in New York City, which means one cannot move as quickly to resolve disputes. Time will tell under what circumstances compensation can be claimed for a case that can be related to coronavirus. As the uncertainty caused by coronavirus is being experienced all over the world, we understand that it becomes crucial to know what rights you might have and what steps can be taken for assistance.  

Medical Negligence

There will be certain cases where people who are aged have passed away after contracting the virus, and their family might believe that they were not provided with the best medical care available at that moment. They will not only be saddened by the loss, but they will be anxious that the patient didn’t receive the recommended treatment they were entitled to.

There will be a probability of cases where the patient was an income-earner and was the only support to their family, however, this is a rare case as the dependent might have other sources of income except the deceased’s.

In such cases, the claim of medical negligence is not much higher; this is because the claim is only provided to cover the legal costs incurred while asserting the claim value. Further, one can exceed the claim value on the grounds of psychiatric injury due to loss and surroundings. However, this can be treated as utter grief, rather than counting it for medical treatment.

Food Poisoning

Claims related to food poisoning issues could emerge during this period as people can make their choices on taking the meals that are easily available, ready to eat, and on touching packed food, and it is 100 percent reliable and safe would be complex. Crampy pains in your stomach and getting sick can be one of the first symptoms you face. This would make you think that it happened due to the packed food which you got the other day. As coronavirus is similar to the seasonal flu, both can cause fever, cough, body pain, and fatigue. Both can also cause food poisoning, ultimately leaving you with diarrhea.  

Product Liability

This is the sole area of responsibility of the seller/manufacturer who makes the product for a customer and is accountable for the injuries those products may cause. Earlier, in order to recover the loss due to injury, there should be a contractual agreement between a supplier and a customer, which takes place when the product is sold. However, time has changed, and this statement no longer needs to be fulfilled by the customer. A person could recover for the injury caused by the product, which might have been sold to someone else.
