What is a Third-Degree Burn?

This is very serious business as third (and even fourth) degree burns are sometimes referred to as “full-thickness” burns.  These types of burns mostly eliminate the epidermis and the dermis, which are the top two layers of skin, and they may affect tissues beneath the skin.  The nerve tissue could be destroyed causing an absence of pain for the most part.

Some of the sources of third-degree burns are –

1.  Liquids…scalding water, etc

2.  Direct exposure to very hot objects

3.  Exposure to some chemicals

4.  Electricity

5.  Open flame

There are a myriad of ways to get severe burns.  In The Great Southwest there is one way to fight back if you have a lawsuit due to someone else’s negligence.  If you or loved one have received a third-degree burn and want to know if you have a case for compensation call the burn injury law office of Ken Wagner Law located in Albuquerque at (505) 242-6300.  Look up the McDonald’s Hot Coffee Case…drop the mic!

How Hard is it to Prove Medical Malpractice?

It all begins with one critical question…was the provider guilty of negligence?  Just because there was a bad, unexpected outcome does not mean that negligence occurred.  And even the fact that another health care provider would have acted differently does not mean there was negligence either.

The health care provider in question is deemed negligent only if he or she has acted unreasonably; done something no reasonable health care provider would have done under the circumstances.  Whether an act (or inaction) by a health care professional is reasonable can only be analyzed based on the specific circumstances of the case.

This is all very tricky and demands that a seasoned professional team with a renowned medical malpractice attorney at its helm handles your case.  In The Great Southwest that man and that team are Albuquerque’s Ken Wagner of The Ken Wagner Law Firm.  Find out if your case has merit.  Contact The Ken Wagner Law Firm at (505) 242-6300.

Your Insurance Company Is Not Always Acting in Good Faith.

There is an understatement for sure.  Do you think that they spend millions on advertising based on their generosity?  Dealing with insurance companies after a mishap has proven to be frustrating and difficult for people in The Great Southwest.  Do you just take what they are willing to pay out…or do you fight back?

By law, insurance companies are required to investigate and then settle claims in good faith.   

Here are some examples of bad faith –

1.  Deny without a reason

2.  Not conducting a thorough investigation

3.  Dragging their feet on paying you

4.  A misrepresentation of their policies

5.  Even threatening the claimant

This time is stressful enough without being intimidating!  You can hold your insurance company liable for bad faith in court.  Insurance companies know us.  We are The Ken Wagner Law Firm located in Albuquerque New Mexico and serving all of The Great Southwest.  Our founder is an attorney who helped win the famous McDonald’s Hot Coffee Case.  Please keep our phone number handy (505) 242-6300.

When to Call a Car Accident Attorney.

The short answer is immediately.  As soon as you know that you have sustained an injury you DO NOT procrastinate!  But, be careful about whom you call.  Many personal injury firms bombard the TV and radio airwaves.  These firms could be no more than “mills” that shoot for a quick settlement without fighting for your cause.

These settlement mills tend to leave money on the table at the moment of truth as they are more concerned with resolving a volume of cases each month to pay their expensive advertising budget.  The best method may well be hiring a personal injury attorney based on experience, reputation, and time spent listening to your particular side.

All of this, and much more applies to The Ken Wagner Law Firm serving Albuquerque and The Great Southwest.  If you are unfortunate enough to have been involved in a car accident on these winter roads call Ken Wagner immediately.  They will pay immediate attention to your situation.  That number is always (505) 242-6300.

The History of Personal Injury Law.

We know that its roots go back thousands of years.  Even going back to Biblical and ancient times, the roots of what are now known as tort law and personal injury law were established.  The law of retribution meant someone who harmed another was required to repay the person harmed.  It was in its simplest form in those days.

Fast forward to the late 18th and early 19th century.  The first factories were built and populations grew.  To put it mildly, the Industrial Revolution changed the way people lived their lives.  Workers were injured or even killed on the job because the legal system had not yet caught up and there were relatively few remedies available for injured workers.

Today, attorneys are seeing strong personal injury claims all over America.  New Mexico and The Great Southwest are certainly no exceptions.  We at Ken Wagner Law are always a phone call away when you feel that you have a personal injury case.  From our patriarch Ken Wagner and his caring staff to all of you, Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.
