It Won’t be a Merry Christmas for Those Affected by These Weird Holiday Injuries

Posted on: December 14th, 2021 by Timothy Hendershot
Don’t let anything ruin your holiday season! Watch out for these weird holiday injuries.

Don’t let anything ruin your holiday season! Watch out for these weird holiday injuries.

It’s not only about decorating the halls, trimming the tree, and exchanging gifts during the Christmas season. It’s also a time when, no matter how much joy is spread, serious injuries can still occur.

The weirdness of the causes of these vacation injuries is what jumps out the most. While these injuries may not be as dramatic as Santa being injured while falling down the chimney or elves filing workers’ compensation claims after being injured while constructing toys, some of the real-life incidents that have been reported are equally as bizarre.

Christmas Lights: Cheerful, Bright, and… Dangerous?

Hundreds of individuals are injured every year in accidents involving Christmas lights. That’s right, you read it accurately. Hundreds. According to the most recent USCPSC report, there were approximately 150 injuries in the 40-65 age bracket alone.

If you’ve ever seen a movie in which a character falls while installing Christmas lights on the roof, you’ve witnessed something that happens every year in real life. Unfortunately, such falls in real life result in genuine harm, not laughs.

Electrical injuries are also caused by Christmas lights, such as when people are shocked owing to defective wiring or when they are caught in an inopportune combination of electricity from the lights and melting snow. Fires produced by improper wiring on Christmas light strings are also common causes of burns.

Trimming the Tree with Care

Every year, Christmas trees cause a number of accidents and illnesses, and not simply the types of injuries you’d expect, such as cuts from chopping down a real tree.

People have experienced allergic reactions to trees they have placed in their homes. In other cases, people have had their eyes damaged when they bumped into Christmas trees.

Are you in the mood to dance? Maybe you might want to consider sitting still.

People have also blamed their injuries on Christmas music and the holiday spirit. One man said that he had severe joint pain as a result of his excessive dancing at a Christmas party. In another case, an 80-year-old woman said she heard Christmas music and tried to get out of her recliner to dance, but she damaged herself by “shaking her hips.”

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Christmas Cards?

In 2014, one of the oddest Christmas-related injuries of all time occurred. After writing an excessive amount of Christmas cards, a person claimed he suffered carpal tunnel syndrome.

We sincerely hope you never fall victim to these holiday injuries, or any others! We want nothing but the best for all our Edmonds and Seattle-area friends throughout the season. If you need any help with a personal injury case, you know who to contact. From all of us at Cunnane Law, have a safe holiday season and a Merry Christmas!

Be Thankful for These Five Things

Posted on: November 19th, 2021 by Timothy Hendershot
We wish all of you in Edmonds, Seattle, and beyond a Happy Thanksgiving.

We wish all of you in Edmonds, Seattle, and beyond a Happy Thanksgiving.

At this time of year, you may have a lot to be thankful for. Even if you have suffered a severe loss or other hardship this year, you can find comfort in giving thanks for what you do have and what you can expect in the following year.

Cunnane Law of Edmonds’ personal injury lawyers would like to wish you a happy and safe Thanksgiving holiday and share with you the following list of five things for which we believe we may all be thankful this holiday:

1. Spending Thanksgiving with family and friends in a safe environment.

Many factors contribute to a safe Thanksgiving. The first factor is the host’s home. It should be well-lit, clean, and free of potential risks like frayed wires or damaged steps. Before the guests arrive, any hazardous situations should be repaired or removed.

Another factor of a safe vacation is ensuring that all visitors arrive and depart safely. If there will be alcohol served at your Thanksgiving gathering, assign someone to drive guests’ home or offer them the option of staying the night.

2. A deliciously prepared holiday meal free of burns, mishaps, or personal injury.

Thanksgiving also emphasizes the importance of kitchen safety. Delegate kitchen activities to avoid burns and cuts by keeping the space from becoming overcrowded. To protect them as well as the people making the meal, keep children and pets out of the kitchen.

Food poisoning prevention is an important part of food safety. People should avoid cross-contamination by using different utensils and cutting boards for each dish. Any leftovers should be packaged and stored in the refrigerator as soon as possible after the dinner is over.

Also, before serving, keep a close eye on the internal temperature of your turkey. Cook the turkey to 165 degrees Fahrenheit to avoid foodborne illness.

3. Enjoying a stress-free, easy Thanksgiving break.

The days are getting shorter, and the temperature is getting cooler as we get deeper into the fall season. When these circumstances are combined with the significant increase of drivers on the road during the holiday season, you and your passengers are at a greater risk of getting injured in a car accident than at other times of the year.

Check your vehicle’s fluid levels and tire pressure before heading out on your Thanksgiving road trip. In case you become stranded or someone becomes injured, bring a safety kit with you that includes a basic tool set, a warm blanket, a flashlight, and first-aid supplies. Follow the rules of the road and adapt your driving to your surroundings to reduce your chances of getting involved in an accident.

4. Parades and other festivities on Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving can be a lot of fun for the whole family, with local and televised parades, football games, and family traditions. Remember these times because, while they may be traditions, the unique recollections of each year will never be replicated.

5. A personal injury attorney in Edmonds who is ready to assist if something goes wrong.

Know that our team at Cunnane Law is here to help you if you’ve been injured in an accident. We have more than 25 years of legal experience to pursue your claim for compensation if you have been seriously injured in a car accident.

We will meet with you to review your situation and, if a claim is possible, we will pursue the highest possible financial recovery. For a free consultation to discuss your case contact Cunnane Law in Edmonds, WA today.

Stay Safe This Fall and Winter

Posted on: November 17th, 2021 by Timothy Hendershot
It’s cold, it’s wet, it’s Seattle in fall and winter. Stay safe!

It’s cold, it’s wet, it’s Seattle in fall and winter. Stay safe!

Fall and winter are wonderful seasons in Edmonds and the surrounding Seattle area. However, the wet and cold weather can sometimes lead to hazards and potential injuries. To help keep you safe this fall and winter, the personal injury experts at Cunnane Law want to share some helpful tips.

Be Prepared for Snow

Yes, it does snow in Seattle! While the snow is unlikely to linger around for long, it does make the roadways much more dangerous. That’s why the Washington State Department of Transportation urges everyone to prepare ahead of time by packing your car with everything you’ll need if you get stuck, including water, gloves, a blanket, tire chains, and ice scrapers. Drivers are also encouraged to drive appropriately for the weather, slow down, and leave plenty of space between your car and other vehicles. During the winter, slick roads, snow shoveling, and the risk of frostbite are ever-present danger.

Remember:

  • In the snow, drive carefully and avoid driving when the road conditions are very treacherous, and visibility is poor.
  • If you’re shoveling snow or going outside for any other reason, be aware of the risk of frostbite and take frequent breaks to keep your body temperature from dropping too low.

Carbon Monoxide Hazard

Carbon monoxide poisoning is most prevalent in December and January. During the winter, more fuel-heating appliances are used, and individuals are more inclined to start their automobiles in the garage to warm them up before going out into the cold, making Carbon monoxide poisoning more likely.

Those people who heat their homes with oil, propane, or natural gas should make sure their heating system is cleaned. If you don’t do so, carbon monoxide could creep into your home. Similarly, if you start your car in the garage to warm it up before leaving, make sure a window or door to the outside is open to let the fumes out.

We advise Washington State residents to purchase a CO detector to warn them if there is a CO leak in their home. And, of course, remember to replace the battery in your CO detector.

Slippery Conditions and Hot Water

Thousands of Americans are injured each year as a result of slip and fall accidents. Because of the slick, icy sidewalks and roadways, there is a heightened risk throughout the winter months. But there’s also another danger lurking within your house: bathtubs and showers. The appeal of a hot bath or shower is as strong as ever during the winter months. Moreover, it is as hazardous as ever: scalding or overly hot tap water causes at least 3,800 injuries each year. These mishaps are particularly risky for children under the age of five as well as the elderly.

Remember:

  • When walking outside in areas where ice or slippery conditions may persist, use adequate footwear with non-skid soles.
  • Reduce your chance of hot water burns by setting your hot water heater’s temperature to 120°F or lower.

Have You Been Injured?

An injury can occur in any of the situations listed above as a result of your own negligence, but it can also occur as a result of someone else’s negligence. For example, the carbon monoxide monitor you just got may not work correctly due to design flaws. Or perhaps a neighbor may not have cleared ice as thoroughly as he or she should have, causing you to slip and fall.

If you have suffered a personal injury in Washington State due to circumstances beyond your control, consider speaking with an Edmonds personal injury attorney to about your case. To discuss the details of your accident and injuries, contact Cunnane Law personal injury attorneys online or by phone immediately.

They frequently try to exploit accident victims who do not have access to legal representation. Cunnane Law can assist you in defending yourself as well as a loved one who has been injured.

The law imposes time limits on how long you or a loved one has to bring a lawsuit after an accident, and it may also require you to complete specific steps prior to filing a lawsuit. To verify some claims, the law also demands certain types of evidence. Before bringing a lawsuit, it is sometimes necessary to take precautions to preserve evidence.

How Does Compensation for Pain and Suffering Work in Washington State?

Posted on: April 27th, 2021 by Timothy Hendershot
You may have heard of the term ‘pain and suffering’, but what does it actually mean in Washington?

You may have heard of the term ‘pain and suffering’, but what does it actually mean in Washington?

If you have been a casualty of a personal injury accident, including a car accident, and the accident was the fault of someone else, you may be due compensation for any injuries you received. Besides compensation for your physical injuries, you may also be entitled to compensation for non-economic injuries, otherwise known as “pain and suffering,” caused by the accident.

Although we have all heard the term “pain and suffering,” many people may not actually understand what injuries the pain and suffering calculation includes or even how they are calculated.

Washington State’s Legal Definition of Pain and Suffering

The State of Washington defines non-economic injuries as “subjective, non-monetary losses, including, but not limited to pain, suffering, inconvenience, mental anguish, disability or disfigurement incurred by the injured party, emotional distress, loss of society and companionship, loss of consortium, injury to reputation and humiliation, and destruction of the parent-child relationship.” (RCW 4.56.250)

So, what they’re saying is that a wide variety of subjective injuries suffered in an accident can be included in pain and suffering. The pain and suffering portion of your settlement represents things that are not easy to quantify. As an example: Unlike an injury for which you incur a medical bill, you do not receive a bill for the pain suffered as a result of that injury which makes it more difficult to quantify. Other things that are more difficult to quantify include, emotional distress, permanent disfigurement and scars.

Everyone’s Pain and Suffering is Unique

Each victim is affected in their own unique way by emotional distress, pain and anguish caused by an accident. One victim may experience the trauma of an accident more severely than another.  In the same way, one victim may suffer anguish as a result of disfigurement, or physical scarring, more severely than another victim. Our emotional reaction as the victim of an accident is as unique as our individuality.

If you have been injured in a personal injury or car accident in the Edmonds WA area you need a personal injury lawyer who can sit down with you and give you an accurate idea of what your case is worth, pain and suffering included. The factors considered when calculating your pain and suffering award include, your age, occupation and general state of health prior to the accident, and the actual physical injuries you received. An insurance adjuster may try to convince you that your pain and suffering award is a fixed amount but don’t settle for less than what your case is worth. The personal injury attorneys at Cunnane Law can help. Contact us today!

An Overview of Washington State Personal Injury Laws

Posted on: April 20th, 2021 by Timothy Hendershot
Like any state, Washington has specific personal injury laws you should be aware of.

Like any state, Washington has specific personal injury laws you should be aware of.

Whether you are pursuing an injury claim through a personal injury lawsuit in court or with an insurance company, you may be wondering about the process and whether the Washington state laws will affect your claim. Let’s have a look at some key personal injury laws in Washington state.

Statute of Limitations for Injury Lawsuits

The Statute of Limitations, which is applicable in each state, requires that you file your lawsuit in the state’s civil court system within a certain time limit.  You may be barred permanently from receiving any compensation for your injuries if you do not file your claim within the time limit.

The Statute of Limitations in Washington state is three years, beginning on the date of your accident or injury. It is absolutely vital to keep to this time limit, because your case will most certainly be dismissed if you try to file your lawsuit after the three-year period.

Washington’s Comparative Fault Rules

There are some cases where an injured person may be partially to blame for causing their own injuries. If this applies to your case, your claim is not entirely foreclosed because you may share a percentage of fault. A “pure comparative negligence” approach is used in Washington state. This means that the amount you recover will be reduced by your percentage of fault. In other words, if you are determined by the judge or jury to be 25% at fault you will receive 75% of the recovery amount.

In awarding damages to you, the court is required to apply this comparative negligence rule if your personal injury lawsuit goes all the way through trial.

Liability for Dog Bite or Attack Cases

Dog owners in many states have some degree of protection from injury liability the first time their dog injures someone. This is often known as a “one bite rule”. In Washington however, the owner is made “strictly liable” by a specific statute (Wash. Rev. Code Ann. § 16.08.040). Meaning that regardless of the animal’s past behavior, any personal injury caused by the dog is the dog owner’s responsibility.

The Statute reads:

“The owner of any dog which shall bite any person while such person is in or on a public place or lawfully in or on a private place including the property of the owner of such dog, shall be liable for such damages as may be suffered by the person bitten, regardless of the former viciousness of such dog or the owner’s knowledge of such viciousness.”

Liabilities of Government Entities in Washington

Special rules and limitations apply if your injury claim is against a local or state government employee or entity. A formal notice of your claim must be filed within the statute of limitations period of three years, with the state or municipality involved. A notice of claim does not get filed with a court, and differs from a complaint, which is the document that normally initiates a lawsuit.

Once you have formally put the state or local government entity on notice of your claim, you have to wait sixty days after filing your claim, before you can file a lawsuit.

What Next?

Of course, this is only a quick overview of personal injury laws in Washington State. It’s important that you discuss your situation with a qualified, expert personal injury lawyer like the ones at Cunnane Law in Edmonds, WA. Whether it’s a car crash, long-term disability, or other injury, Cunnane Law will fight for you. Call us for a consultation today.

It Was a Minor Car Crash, Do I Need a Lawyer?

Posted on: March 29th, 2021 by Timothy Hendershot
An good car crash lawyer can help you after an car crash – even a minor one.

An good car crash lawyer can help you after an car crash – even a minor one.

Is a lawyer necessary? This is a question many people ask themselves after any type of collision. Individuals may consider a legal representative unnecessary when injuries and damages are minor. There are those who believe there is no reason for a lawyer, and others who may not know that after a car crash they are entitled to a lawyer. However, when any type of collision occurs it is important to contact a professional for assistance, such as the team at Cunnane Law.

Accidents are traumatic and unexpected, causing a situation that involves time, money and energy to deal with. To help ensure that a victim is compensated for the damages suffered in a collision, it is important to obtain an expert car crash lawyer who will be sure to accomplish all the processes correctly and in a timely manner.

Common Situations for Obtaining a Lawyer

  • Legal representation should be considered when there is a dispute about who is responsible, or liability is unclear. Discovering what chain of events led to the injury and clearing any dispute about liability may be assisted by organizing evidence.
  • If there is mostly vehicle damage, an examination by an inspector may be required.
  • If an individual has been served with documentation involving a lawsuit, immediately contact a lawyer to protect one’s legal rights and avoid forfeiting rights.
  • Because adjusters tend to offer less than expected for repairs to property, and for long-term injuries requiring extensive medical treatment, a lawyer should review these settlements to see if they are acceptable. If all the treatment and medical procedures are not covered by the payment, a renegotiation is usually necessary.
  • Countless insurance claims are denied. The reason for companies denying these claims could be technicalities which may be minor or inconsequential, but still cause pain and suffering due to stress. Denials can be contested by a lawyer so entitled compensation for those who have been injured is received.

Hiring a Car Crash Lawyer

No matter how minor injuries sustained in a traffic accident may be, the person should seek a lawyer who is knowledgeable about personal injury and liability to provide legal representation. The retained lawyer should have a working knowledge on different medical procedures that may be implicated, as well as on motor vehicle claims. The legal representative’s case history and reputation are important.

Cunnane Law in Edmonds are expert car crash attorneys. Contact us today, even if you think your accident was minor. You may be in danger of missing out on important and valuable compensation for your damage and any injuries. Don’t go it alone. Let Cunnane Law fight for you.

Hit and Run Accident Attorney Assistance

Whiplash is a serious problem for car crash victims. Cunnane Law can help.

Whiplash is a serious problem for car crash victims. Cunnane Law can help.

It can be downright maddening when someone intentionally leaves the scene of an accident to avoid facing the consequences. However, all is not lost if you have been in a hit and run accident. Cunnane Law in Edmonds, WA can help you recover costs related to your property damage as well as your physical injuries.

Criminal Penalties for Hit and Run Accidents

The three levels of penalties in the State of Washington for hit and run accidents are misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor, and felony.

If the car was parked or unattended at the time of a hit and run accident, Washington law considers it to be a misdemeanor punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a fine up to $1,000.

Gross demeanors are when a hit and run accident involves one car hitting another car. They are punishable by a $5,000 fine and up to 364 days in jail. However, if someone is injured in the accident it then becomes a Class C felony with a fine of up to $10,000 and 5 years prison time. A Class B felony is when someone is killed in the accident, punishable by $20,000 and up to 10 years in prison.

Washington State Civil Penalties for a Hit and Run Accident

In most cases, a driver is 100% at fault if they flee the scene of an accident. That means you and your attorney can seek compensation for injury damages if they are caught. Settlements can reach into millions of dollars, in cases of permanent impairment or disfigurement, provided the at-fault driver is actually found.

If the Police Don’t Find the Driver, What Happens?

All auto insurance companies doing business in the State of Washington are required by the state to offer every driver coverage for uninsured or under-insured motorists (UM/UIM). In a hit and run accident case where the driver could not be found, this coverage would be activated to cover an injured motorist’s damages. Without UM/UIM motorist coverage and a missing at-fault driver, there is nothing left that you could do and you, unfortunately, will have to foot the bill. This is one reason why you should make sure you have UM/UIM coverage and purchase adequate coverage amounts before it’s too late.

An Edmonds WA Hit and Run Attorney Can Help

Our attorneys at Cunnane Law in Edmonds WA have been successful in recovering damages for our clients worth millions of dollars. Whether it’s launching a priority investigation to locate the at-fault driver, suing that driver for negligence, or negotiating for the full value of your claim with the insurance company, we can help. Give us a call to set up a no-obligation consultation if you have been in a hit and run accident or any other car crash.

Whiplash is a Serious Injury

Whiplash is a serious problem for car crash victims. Cunnane Law can help.

Whiplash is a serious problem for car crash victims. Cunnane Law can help.

Whiplash is a very common personal injury claim which is widely misunderstood, with some believing it is simply a hypochondriac exaggeration, or an excuse to “cash in.” Others consider whiplash to be a mild, short period of soreness that is not worth complaining about.

However, whiplash is, in actual fact, a genuine medical complication with differing degrees of severity. Suffering long-term effects of whiplash by car crash victims and other injured persons is not unusual.

You may be surprised by this, but the medical reality becomes easier to accept once you understand whiplash from an anatomical, neuromuscular perspective.

What is Whiplash?

Whiplash is described by the Mayo Clinic as a neck injury due to forceful, rapid back-and-forth movement of the neck, like the cracking of a whip.

It is important to realize that when a whiplash injury occurs, the soft tissue, the muscles, the tendons, the nerves in the neck, and sometimes the spine itself, can be affected.

The Most Common Causes of Whiplash

By far the most common cause of whiplash is auto accidents, with rear-end accidents being especially associated with whiplash. However, whiplash can occur in any accident where a person’s neck is rocked back and forth suddenly and forcefully.

Short-Term Whiplash Symptoms

Quite often the symptoms of short-term whiplash are not immediately noticeable. These symptoms will be experienced by some victims within minutes or a few hours after an injury, but they can take days or even weeks to develop in most cases.

In general, (though every patient is different), the more severely pronounced the symptoms are, the greater is the probability of long-term whiplash being experienced.

Long-Term Whiplash Effects

Although some whiplash victims recover within a few weeks or sometimes months, in other whiplash injury cases, the restriction and pain can last for a few years or even a lifetime.

Long-Term Whiplash Sufferers, Know Your Rights

Your day-to-day routine and your overall quality of life can be severely impacted as a result of whiplash. Requiring ongoing medical care and lost work time.

If someone else’s negligence caused your whiplash you are entitled to recover fair financial compensation and the cost of related medical bills from the negligent party, which in many cases will revert to an insurance company. Unfortunately, insurance companies have a reputation for attempting to pay out the smallest amount possible regardless of what their obligation might be. Fortunately, that can all be changed by an experienced car crash lawyer. We urge you to talk to a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible.

Keep in mind that strict time limits apply to most personal injury claims, so do not ignore your whiplash symptoms or delay submitting your claim.

At Cunnane Law, we realize that whiplash is very serious, and we are ready to take a firm, aggressive stand against insurance companies. We have years of experience and a great track record for getting our clients the compensation they deserve. So, give the compassionate car crash attorney in Edmonds, WA a call today!
