How Are People Injured in Storms?

Anyone could suffer a serious bodily injury in a storm:

Brain injuries. Someone could suffer a permanent anoxic-hypoxic brain injury if they almost drown due to rising floodwaters. Some people are on a boat during a storm, and the boat capsizes or tosses them overboard.
Respiratory problems. Flooding and rainwater damage can lead to black mold growing in your walls, causing sickness and respiratory problems. Black mold is a serious health hazard.
Fractures. Falling trees and flying objects can smash into a person and lead to fractures, including skull fracture or broken ribs.
Death. Sadly, big storms in South Carolina kill dozens of people each year. Surviving family members might have a wrongful death claim.

Steps to Take after a Storm Injury

We recommend the following:

Protect yourself and your family. You want to minimize the risk of other people getting hurt. For example, if you are riding out a storm, then you should move to a location away from windows.
Seek immediate medical care when safe to do so. Unless you are gravely hurt, there’s no reason to venture out into the middle of a storm to get to the hospital. You might need to wait for the storm to pass before heading out for medical care.
Document how you were injured. Did a tree fall on your house? Take a picture using your phone. Also get a picture of anything that seems relevant.
Preserve defective products. If you think a defective product hurt you, then don’t throw it away until your lawyer can look it over. Also save instructions and product packaging if you still have it.
Document your injuries. We can seek financial compensation for many bodily injuries if someone is to blame. You should get pictures of your injuries and save medical records.

Another critical step: consult an experienced personal injury lawyer in James Island. Many lawyers who handle storm-related claims only bring cases for property damage. They are unprepared to also seek compensation for a client’s bodily injuries and pain.
