When I Got Injured At Work, I Needed A Great Clearwater Personal Injury Lawyer

By Jhayson L. Humphrey


When I went in to work one day around a year ago, I was expecting it would be just like every other day, but found myself needing to call a Clearwater personal injury lawyer. I work as a health inspector and one of my duties is to go into frozen food warehouses in order to inspect that freezers are the correct temperature and that proper safety standards are kept. It appears that the safety standards were definitely not being kept, because as I was walking through the factory I slipped on a big spill and smacked my head really hard, knocking me unconscious.

When I woke up, I was rushed to the hospital with a possible concussion, which turned out to be a real concussion. Along with the concussion, I had really hurt my back, which the doctor told me was a cracked vertebrae, and I also had a lot of other bumps and bruises which I knew were going to be torturing me for a long time to come.

Since there had not been a sign posted that the floor was wet, I had had no way of preparing myself or watching my step, so the people who managed this particular warehouse were definitely in the wrong. I knew that I would be unable to return to work soon, if at all, so I knew that one of the first things I should so was to contact a Clearwater personal injury lawyer.

I wanted to find a really great lawyer, so I began checking around to find a lawyer with a good reputation, and who would take on my case, and made some calls from the hospital. They were very helpful and they even took the time to meet with me and give me a free consultation to look over my case and they told me that I had a solid case to get some compensation for my injuries and the time I would not be able to work.

Everything went very well, and my Clearwater personal injury attorney got me a very good settlement, which helped pay for my medical bills as well as helped me to recover with physical therapy and other things I needed to be able to get back to my original physical condition. This settlement lifted a heavy burden from my back, since I didn't have to stress over money and whether I would be able to pay the hospital bills that were piling up, so I could focus on getting better, which I did and was able to return to work even before I expected, and my one hope was that factor workers would put up a wet floor sign next time!
