Gunshot Injuries
Although guns and firearms can be useful for hunting or for protection inside your home, they can also be dangerous and even deadly when mishandled or treated without respect. Indeed, thousands of non-conflict gunshot wounds occur every year. When people mishandle guns or use defective firearms, they are putting innocent lives at risk of a severe gunshot injury or death.
If you or someone you know has been severely injured or killed because of a gunshot wound caused by a negligent party, you may be eligible to receive financial compensation. To speak with a professional legal representative about your options, contact the Philadelphia personal injury lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., today at 610-667-7511 and schedule a free consultation.
Injuries from Gunshot Accidents
Accidental gunshot wounds occur when a bullet unintentionally discharges from a weapon. The majority of these accidents happen due to the unsafe handling of firearms or even due to flaws with the gun itself. Some potential consequences of gunshot wounds include:
- Damage to vital organs
- Spinal cord damage
- Paralysis or other life-altering disabilities
- Shock or severe bleeding
- Death
Gunshot wounds can be very devastating to not only the victim but also to his or her whole family. Contact a personal injury lawyer today to fight for the financial compensation you need to pay for medical bills resulting from a gunshot wound.
