Holiday Accident, Injury, and Illness Claims

With the hustle and bustle of the holiday season in full swing, everything is moving swiftly. Unfortunately, many people are moving so quickly they become careless, and careless actions can lead to devastating holiday accidents and injury claims. No one wants to spend the holiday in a hospital bed because of the careless actions of another person.

At London Harker Injury Law, we want to help you get your life back on track and pursue the compensation you need to cover your medical expenses following an accident here in Utah or while you’re on holiday vacation.

Holiday Car Accident Claims

Car accidents, especially drunk driving-related accidents, are prevalent around the holidays. Although the number of accidents increases between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, New Year’s Day is one of the most dangerous times to be out on the roads. Holiday car accidents caused by impaired drivers or drivers ill-prepared for inclement weather can cause devastating and life-altering injuries, even fatalities.

Victims of holiday car accidents caused by careless drivers may pursue compensation for their injuries with the help of an experienced Utah personal injury attorney. An attorney can review your accident claim and fight for the money you need and deserve. The last thing you should worry about over the holidays is how you’ll pay your medical bills. Give yourself peace of mind and pass the burden of getting the compensation you’re owed to a skilled personal injury attorney. Your lawyer can navigate the Utah legal system and hold careless drivers accountable for their actions.

Holiday Premises Liability Accidents

Premises liability accidents, especially slip-and-fall accidents, also increase over the holidays. When careless property owners fail to shovel their property or remove ice promptly after a storm, they create a dangerous situation for guests and customers. People tracking snow in and out of stores and businesses can also lead to slippery floors and hazardous conditions. Loose cords dangling from light displays are another common holiday hazard.

Property owners must maintain a reasonably safe environment free from safety hazards for guests, patrons, and visitors. Failing to uphold this duty can result in dangerous slip-and-fall accidents and significant injuries. The law allows injured people to pursue compensation for their injuries when they are hurt on a careless owner’s property.

Often, injured people don’t fully understand their legal rights and are sometimes convinced to accept pennies for their injuries by the at-fault party’s insurance company. A Utah premises liability attorney can ensure you aren’t exploited and can pursue maximum compensation for your financial losses.

Contemplating legal action during the holidays can be daunting. However, an experienced premises liability attorney can sit down with you and review your options for pursuing the money you need. From there, your attorney can take the reins, giving you the time to heal. 

Common Injuries from Holiday-Related Accidents

No one wants friends and family to visit them in the hospital during the holidays. Unfortunately, car accidents, delivery truck accidents, and slip-and-fall accidents can all cause catastrophic injuries. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists falls and car accidents as two of the leading causes of traumatic brain injuries in the United States. Other common injuries from holiday-related accidents include:

• Burns
• Broken bones
• Dislocations
• Soft tissue damage
• Whiplash
• Neck and spine injuries
• Organ damage
• Internal bleeding
• Contusions
• Lacerations

If you are involved in a holiday accident, either at home or while traveling for the holiday, seek medical attention immediately. It also helps to contact an experienced Utah personal injury attorney who can get the ball rolling and seek compensation for your medical expenses and financial losses on your behalf.
