Most of you are familiar with the terrible collision between the Metro Light Rail and the Metro Bus which occurred on March 15, 2010 in downtown Houston. As it turns out, one of the victims of this collision may have broken his neck. Sadly, this man did not have health insurance. Fortunately, he had the wisdom to hire a personal injury lawyer to help enforce his rights. Hopefully now this man will be able to obtain the medical treatment he needs, thanks to the efforts of his lawyer.

Whether or not you have health insurance, a skilled personal injury can help you enforce your legal rights and insure that you obtain maximum compensation after an auto accident or injury. Even if you have health insurance, you are entitled to damages above and beyond the cost of your medical treatment when you are injured due to the negligence of another. Specifically, you are entitled to recover compensation for the physical pain and mental anguish associated with the injury and your recovery, as well as for your lost wages, any disability (temporary or permanent), disfigurement and scarring and other damages as well. Of course, if you do not have health insurance, a good personal injury can also help make sure that you get the treatment you need for your injuries.

The man in the story below had the wisdom to hire a legal professional when he was injured in the Metro accident. Remember, if you are injured in a car or bus accident or because of the negligence of another, you should always seek the advice of an attorney who practices in that area of the law.
