In 2020, there were more than 24 million emergency department visits in the U.S. due to unintentional injuries, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

​The CDC also reports that unintentional injury is the fourth-leading cause of death in the U.S.

​People suffer personal injuries every day, often due to preventable accidents caused by the negligence of another party or parties. Being involved in an injury-producing accident such as an auto accident or slip and fall / trip and fall can be physically and mentally exhausting. In a typical accident, after the initial fear and shock wears off, victims of personal injury begin dealing with the physical pain and long-term repercussions associated with being involved in this kind of incident. They must begin the rehabilitation process in order to treat their injuries. Meanwhile they are required to navigate the complicated insurance claims process. If you are involved in a slip and fall in a store or public place you will first need to determine who the insurance carrier is, in order to file a claim. In many instances, a property owner may not cooperate with an injured party requiring further investigation and/or filing suit to obtain basic insurance information.
