I am here for injury claims TV. Now, I wanted to talk to you about\ninjuries and what types of injuries really fall within the law in terms of\nsomething that the law will handle versus something that the law doesn&#8217;t relate\nto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, a few minutes before I went to tape this\nvideo, I bent down to get something on the floor and I whacked the side of my\nhead on a vacuum cleaner right here. So this may be swelling actually during\nthe course of the video. I don&#8217;t know. It&#8217;s really &#8230; it&#8217;s hot to the touch. I\ndon&#8217;t know. I might have a black eye pretty soon. So I whacked it pretty hard.\nThankfully it didn&#8217;t hit the eyeball. It just hit right here (the cheekbone).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, is that something that the law would govern? No, I\ndon&#8217;t think so. That was something that was my fault, I guess in a way. And\nreally, do you want vacuum cleaning companies responsible for people who wack\nthemselves when they&#8217;re leaning down to pick up something? I don&#8217;t think so. So\nthat wouldn&#8217;t be something unless you&#8217;re basically using the vacuum cleaner in\nthe way that it was intended and all of the sudden something flies loose that\nshouldn&#8217;t be loose and hits you in the face. Well, then that might be because I\nthink we all can agree vacuum cleaners should not have things flying off of\nthem that aren&#8217;t supposed to be, and I don&#8217;t think anything is supposed to be\nflying off of a vacuum cleaner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other types of things that are, naturally the car accident\ntype thing, but not if it&#8217;s your fault. Sometimes it requires an analysis to\nknow whether it&#8217;s your fault. Sometimes the sheriff or the police will come out\nand they&#8217;ll make an assessment of whose fault it is, and sometimes that&#8217;s right\nand sometimes it isn&#8217;t because they have a limited amount of time to look at\nit. So those are the types of things where you typically hear about injuries.\nAuto accidents, car accidents, truck accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are also pedestrian accidents. Pedestrians can be\nhit by cars. That happens. Obviously that happens. We all know that. But if\nyou&#8217;re not walking in a crosswalk, it might not be as much the other party&#8217;s\nfault as it is your fault. Now we practice in California and Nevada and each of\nthose states have a different way to look at that, but let&#8217;s say something is\nonly like 10% your fault. There&#8217;s still an injury there, and if the other side\nis 90% at fault, well then maybe they should pay 90% of the damages, and\ngenerally they do have insurance if it&#8217;s something that we&#8217;re handling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other types of injury claims are like if somebody\nintentionally harms you. If they intentionally hit you or stab you, those are\ncompensable claims. Now the reason why they aren&#8217;t sued a lot is a lot of times\nthose people who are doing those kind of thing, they don&#8217;t have any money.\nGenerally there&#8217;s no insurance that&#8217;s gonna cover an intentional act like that.\nHowever, there are cases where let&#8217;s say you&#8217;re in a nightclub, and that&#8217;s\ntypically a place where people can get kind of rowdy because nightclubs will have\nbouncers. Well, if they let somebody in that they know is violent, that could\nbe a problem for the nightclub. So they do have a duty to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So basically, with injuries, you have to find where\nthere&#8217;s a legal duty to the other person to protect them or to not hurt them at\nthe very least. Those are the kind of injury claims that we handle. Now, we\ndon&#8217;t handle every one that calls us because it may or may not be something\nthat we feel like we can handle or get a good result from, and if it&#8217;s\nsomething like that, we&#8217;ll tell you no. But give us a call. We&#8217;d be interested\nin hearing what&#8217;s happened to you and how it happened, what kind of medical\ntreatment that you&#8217;ve gotten. You can call us and I&#8217;ll talk to you.\n\nOur number, we have two numbers since we&#8217;re in Nevada\nand California. Our California number is 916-287-7157, and our Nevada number is\n775-391-5131. Don&#8217;t ask for the fax number because I don&#8217;t remember what it is.\nThat&#8217;s it for today&#8217;s segment of injury claims TV. Take care.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Video transcription: Hello, this is Tahnya Ballard again, California and Nevada attorney. I am here for injury claims TV.
