i just need to know how claim companies work..i.e i got accident and i go to one of the local claim company then explain me the procedure afterward if you know
They will basically claim for loss of earnings past and future and for any injuries you sustain as long as the accident was not your own fault.
You will need full hospital records and your employer records in order to stand any chance in a claim.

A customer dropped a bit of wood on my head at work(B&Q) and it has been logged in accident book. When it happened i told supervisor she gave me a smile and said u ok and that was it, few weeks later i had to go to doctor as i woke with a pain down right side of my face, vision was slightly blurry and had been overly tired. Turns out ive got concussion and have been signed off work for a week. Am i entitled to claim against B&Q? Thanks.
You could sue the actual person who dropped the wood on your head, instead of the company you work for.
You will have to prove the incident was the only reason for the concussion.

Can you claim for an injury caused by an accident not at work. E.g. Caused by equipment, (at a public establishment) And its likely to cause injury even when used properly as intended. I know that this specific thing has caused others injury to. Seems very inappropriate to have it really. In fact the more you use it as your supposed to the more likely you are to be injured…. seems ridiculous.
i think you can you need to Speak to one of those no win no fee and they will be tell you if you stand a Chane’s or not but it sounds like you do

Can any one say that Is there any Insurance policy for a person working ( tower crane) above 15 meters of height and got injury during work.Also clarify that a person, living or working in a high rise building (25th floor/ 75 meters height) has got injury or death while moving the bed or furniture or repairing electrical appliances, is eligible for accident insurance claim ?
This would fall under worker’s compensation insurance.
Good luck.

When we filed for bankruptcy last year, our bankruptcy attorney asked us if we had any pending lawsuits. We replied with a yes, as I had to hire a personal injury lawyer cause of a car accident we were in. We were forced to get a lawyer because of the extensive medical bills…the insurance company of the at-fault driver refused to pay any of our bills…my medical bills were over $25,000 & growing with my treatment and Dr’s. didn’t know when I’d be finished receiving treatment. With us already paying some of the bills out of pocket, it got to the point were forced into bankruptcy….there was no other way. We were told by the trustee and our bankruptcy lawyer that all monies received from the personal injury case would have to be applied toward the creditors in the bankruptcy. So in the end…these are the figures…
P.I. lawsuit total: $46,000+.
P.I. lawyer got his cut: $17,000+.
Leaving $29,000+ to creditors. Could we have lied & gotten all of the $29,000 w/out getting caught
Probably not. Forgive me for sounding Biblical, but be sure your sins will find you out. It’s karma… what goes around, comes around.

Seriously, there is probably 100x more in Florida than any other state I’ve ever visited. I am guessing that the state is either plaintiff friendly or the laws are more lax concerning attorney advertisements. Thanks.
Only some states allow personal injury lawyers to advertise, Florida is one of those. 100x is a gross exaggeration. It’s all about competition. The more lawyers who advertise, the more NEED to advertise to get the business.
People don’t realize that the number of times you see a lawyer’s name on TV has nothing to do with his/her competence, and in fact it can be argued that GOOD lawyers don’t need to use TV advertising.
