What to do after a Car Accident.

It is the most common personal injury lawsuit.  Do not think that because you and your loved ones were able to walk away from a car crash that everything is fine.  There are over 2 million vehicle accidents per year in the US that result in an injury to one or more people.  The most important thing to do in this confusing, stressful situation is NOT to drive away from the scene.

You need to contact the police immediately.  While you await their arrival set up flares around the scene to avoid further collisions.  In today’s world there is little or no excuse for not taking pictures with your phone of all aspects of the crash.  Get all of the other driver’s information such as license, insurance, and phone number.

Too many Americans take a laissez-faire attitude and find out later when pain and obvious injuries begin to manifest themselves that they should have been more proactive.  Getting into a car accident is no sin.  What you do afterwards may affect the rest of your life.  Call Ken Wagner as soon as you can.  Attorney Wagner and his staff are the auto accident personal injury attorneys you seek in Albuquerque and the Great Southwest.  Know this phone number - (505) 242-6300. 

Are You Getting the Right Drug?

Among all preventative health care mistakes adverse reaction to an improperly prescribed drug is near or at the top.  Every time that you are prescribed a certain drug there are multiple steps along the way where errors can occur.  Ordering the right medication in the right amount for your body is not an exact science.  Even passing the proper information from doctor to pharmacist can go horribly wrong.

Did you know that drug missteps lead to nearly three-quarters of a million emergency room visits per year?  Well over 100,000 people a year are even hospitalized by the improper administration of a prescription drug!  A study was done last year that found nearly HALF of the drugs administered during or after surgery resulted in some snafu.

While most of these drug mishaps are preventable they still continue every day in this nation of advanced medicine.  When you feel that you or a loved one has been harmed by poor management of prescription drugs call Ken Wagner.  From his Albuquerque office he will put his 40 years and his team’s medical malpractice experience to work for you.  Anywhere in the great Southwest make the call to the Wagner Law Office today for a free consultation at (505) 242-6300. 

Medical Malpractice and its Intricacies.

So many times people believe that they have a legitimate medical malpractice case - and they do.  What they may fail to recognize is that the “other side” has deep pockets and is heavily “lawyered up”.  Therefore, the journey to recover damages from a legitimate malpractice case tends to bog down because the plaintiff (YOU) does not have the right attorney to fight all the way to the finish line.

What are some examples of medical malpractice?  Here are some that may fit your situation –

1.  Prescription error.  Did you get the correct medication in the proper dose?

2.  Injury or even death at the hospital during a birth.

3.  Misdiagnosis.  It happens more than you can imagine.

4.  An infection in the hospital.  The medical centers of this country are not as clean as you think.

5.  Failure of a medical product.  You took it or used it in good faith with disastrous results.

If you or a loved one feel that you have a decent case call Ken Wagner.  He is the Great Southwest’s medical malpractice champion.  From his office located in Albuquerque he will put his 40 years and his great staff to work to win your case.  Call the Wagner Law Office today for a free consultation at (505) 242-6300.  Consult with the best, the winner of the McDonald’s Hot Coffee Case Ken Wagner.

Professional Negligence.

Haven’t we all suffered from this before?  You hire someone or some company to do a job and the level of service and professionalism is far below what we expected.  How many of us just take it and move on?  We either tolerate the inferiority or we go through the process of finding another professional.  There is another alternative.  Seek compensation for damages!

There are many professions that have been guilty of misconduct which may take different forms-

1.  Insurance agents have often misrepresented themselves or their product.

2.  Doctors and nurses under the general heading of malpractice.

3.  Accountants - cooking the books can land you in jail.

4.  Physical therapists making unwanted advances.

5.  Priests - too often have we heard these horror stories.

Professional negligence is rampant and takes on many forms.  If you feel that you have been abused, or misrepresented by a professional agent call Ken Wagner.  Attorney Kenneth Wagner has been the Great Southwest’s defender of abuse for dozens of years out of his Albuquerque office.  Consider your options, but at least give him a call for a free consultation at (505) 242-6300.

Your Rights against Defective Products.

It seems like hardly a week goes by that we don’t hear about a “product recall”.  Items that seem perfectly safe upon purchase may cause serious injury or even death to some Americans.  Right now you or a loved one is still reeling from the mishap that was caused.  Now you need to find out if you have a possible personal injury claim.

There are three main types of product defects.  They are…

1.  A defect in the design.  Even though these items may have been tested and re-tested some of these products have been sold to the public and ARE defective.

2.  Defects at the head-end.  A mistake is made at the manufacturing level that is not caught in time.

3.  Defects in the warning labels.  This may be the worst because an inadequate warning gives you a false sense of security.

Hopefully neither you nor your family will be affected by any of this.  But if you reside in Albuquerque, New Mexico, or anywhere in the Great Southwest the man who won the McDonald’s Hot Coffee Case is ready to listen to your case.  That’s right, defective product attorney Ken Wagner.  Without hesitation call Attorney Ken Wagner now at (505) 242-6300.

Burn Accidents.

More than one million Americans per year suffer burns of different types and degrees.  Those statistics are provided by the Center for Disease Control.  Half of these burn victims are children who are under 4 years of age.  That means a half million of our preschoolers are suffering every year.  Burns result from a myriad of events such as direct sun, chemicals, fire, explosion, hot liquids, etc.

Commonly, we see severe burns occur as the result of an automobile accident.  In addition, when gas or fuel explodes burns will most often result.  Electrical and industrial accidents lead to damaging burns as well.  And many of us have suffered when scalding hot liquid has been spilled on our person causing varying degrees of burns.

If, heaven forbid, a severe burn has occurred to you or a loved one and you feel that you are entitled to compensation act quickly.  It would be nice to know that in Albuquerque and the Great Southwest the man who won the McDonald’s Hot Coffee Case is at your service.  How about that!  Pick up the phone and call Attorney Ken Wagner at (505) 242-6300.
