Catastrophic injuries come with long-lasting consequences

On behalf of Law Offices of Carl D. Barnes posted in catastrophic injuries on Monday, January 14, 2019.

Any injury serious enough to require medical attention can disrupt your life, but catastrophic injuries are particularly devastating. When such injuries occur due to negligence, many victims experience financial difficulties on top of the injury's physical effects. Unfortunately, all of the effects associated with catastrophic injuries can continue for weeks, months or even an entire lifetime.

Most California residents dealing with catastrophic injuries do not know that they may be able to find a legal remedy for their suffering. Unless the injuries occurred because of a negligent vehicle accident, these victims feel that no solution exists for them. As attorneys serving victims in the Los Angeles region, we want you to know that you can find a satisfactory solution for many other injuries caused by negligence. Examples include:

Injuries suffered on another person's property
Dog attacks and other pet-related injuries
Third-party catastrophic injuries suffered while working

Nanotechnology in the construction industry

Nanotechnology has a growing presence in many industries. This includes construction. There are a range of new construction materials that contain such technology.

Recently, the Center for Construction Research and Training conducted a survey of over 250 unionized construction workers here in California. Around 44 percent of the polled workers reported that they have worked with or recognize the names of materials that are on a list of nano-enabled products.

Dangerous Valentine’s day dates

On behalf of Law Offices of Carl D. Barnes on Monday, December 17, 2018.

After the last of the Christmas fruitcake and New Year’s fireworks have faded it comes time to look forward to another holiday. Valentine’s Day.

While some may dread a holiday that celebrates couples, others see it as an opportunity to spend quality time with someone who has brought joy and companionship to an otherwise lonely life. Valentine’s Day might also seem like an opportunity to push yourself and your significant other to do something you only dreamed of doing.
