Real Life Case

A few months ago I had a traffic accident, I was run over by a car. I was crossing a pedestrian crossing regulated by its traffic light, I can’t remember which light was on. I was running to catch the bus , a car was coming in high speed and it hit me.

By the looks of it and because of the nerves I apologized if I was the guilty one of the accident, and the police say that I stated that the light was red for pedestrians but I do not remember such thing.

I was out of work for six months and I have pain in my knee.

Do I have any possibility? I would like a consult, thank you.

Hello, my name is KIKE and I would like to tell you my case. I was hit from behind in a traffic accident, my car was destroyed and my girlfriend and I had a cervical sprain, neck destroyed.

I presented my complaint and they told me that we can get a good compensation but it is better to go with a lawyer because you can get more.

The company has offered me a sum but I think it is not enough. I would like a consult with you, I beg you call me to give me an appointment, I have been informed of the price of the consult and I agree.

Thank you.

Injuries produce an alteration o functions or physiology in organs, systems or apparatus damaging health and producing sickness.

It can be said that every disease is caused by an injury but in many of them it is not possible to identify the morphological injury, like in mental diseases. Besides, not all injuries cause a sickness, or require treatment.
