You Never Know When You'll Need A Personal Injury Attorney

This is a story about Tom, who lives in Florida and is having a really bad time of it. He is an avid motorcycle rider, and last month he decided to take a ride, like he often does, when he gets off work. The sun was out, and it was a beautiful afternoon for a ride, so he got out his bike, and headed down US1.

He didn’t get far though, when a blue Hyundai pulled out from a side street, right into the lane where he was cruising. His reaction time was maybe 3 seconds. He had no time to swerve, and he hit the back of the vehicle, head on.

When he came to, he was in the hospital, and he was in traction, with severe head trauma and back injuries. Aside from that, he had broken ribs, a broken, dislocated shoulder, and they were giving him tests for internal injuries. His wife was called, but he was in and out of it because of the concussion. I know he doesn’t have a lawyer, and he will definitely need a Santa Monica personal injury lawyer because the driver of the vehicle is saying that he was traveling too fast, and that is why he collided.

Tom has suffered immense pain and suffering, and mental anguish. He is in for a long rehabilitation, and the doctor says he can’t go back to work for at least six months. His family is depending on him, yet he can barely move, and it has already been a couple weeks. Needless to say, his motorcycle was totaled.

He retained a personal injury lawyer that was recommended by a friend, and his wife went to the consultation. The lawyer had to come over to the house to talk with Tom, and he seems to be a knowledgeable and compassionate lawyer, who will help Tom get back everything that he has lost since that day. Unfortunately, it looks like he will be in therapy for a long time, but as of right now, he is on strict bedrest because he is still in traction. At least he got to go home, and he didn't have to stay in the hospital, but he is still in leg, neck and arm traction, as he is recovering.

This is just one example of many possible reasons one would need a Santa Monica personal injury attorney. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, don't delay and find a good attorney that you can work together with to bring you justice.
