Holiday Injuries: Guide to Personal Injury Claims

The last few months of the year are full of festivities and invaluable time spent with family and friends. Whether you are hosting a dinner or hanging lights, the activities are abundant. However cheerful, with the earlier sunsets, colder temperatures, and a seemingly-endless supply of eggnog comes an increased risk of accident and the unfortunate potential of you being injured by someone else’s thoughtless recklessness. 

If you have been injured in a holiday injury as the direct result of another person or party’s negligence, you are entitled to partner with a knowledgeable attorney from NK Law Group and file a claim for damages. We are here to guide you through the tricky legal matters associated with a personal injury claim and get you the results you are looking for. 

Common Holiday Injuries NK Law Group Can Handle

At NK Law Group, we oversee many different types of personal injury accidents, including many of the following common holiday injuries. This includes, but is not limited to: 

• Slip-and-fall accidents
• Trip-and-fall accidents
• Motor vehicle collisions caused by drunk driving, reckless driving, or icy roads
• Product liability accidents

The holiday season sees more people than normal out and about, which inherently increases the risk of an accident. It’s important to always drink responsibly, drive responsibly, and ensure you do your best to keep yourself and others safe during this time of the year. When another person or party fails to adhere to this expectation of care by directly acting negligent, they run the risk of causing an accident and hurting you, your family, or your property. When this occurs, you are entitled to hold them accountable for their actions with the help of an attorney. 

How a Dedicated Attorney Can Help Your Case

While you can file a claim with the liable party’s insurance without the help of an attorney, it is not recommended. We have found that victims who attempt to recover compensation without the guidance of a professional often end up with inadequate settlements or even dismissed claims. Our team is here to help take over for you while you spend your time with family and friends. We will help protect you from blame-shifting by collecting time-sensitive information to use as evidence of negligence. 

All other aspects of the claims process will also be overseen by us, meaning all communication, scheduling, and negotiations will be handled by our team. We understand the usual tactics of insurance companies and are prepared to fight for a settlement offer actually worthy of your losses, including any future expenses as well. California currently allows victims of personal injury claims to recover both economic and non-economic damages, which includes coverage for your property damage, hospital bills, and any physical or rehabilitative therapy, as well as loss of consortium, loss of enjoyment of life, and more. In cases where we find your accident to have been the result of deliberate negligence, we can also help you seek punitive damages.
