Heart and lung injuries can be life-threatening and can dramatically change a person’s life. There are multiple causes for heart and lung injuries, and they are often caused by the negligence of a third party. If you or a loved one suffers from lung or heart injuries that were caused by a third party, you may be entitled to compensation.

 

However, you must act now. According to Michigan’s statute of limitations, a victim has only two years to file his or her injury case. A personal injury attorney can help you seek compensation for your medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering. The compensation you may receive can be upwards of $250,000 or more, depending on your injury.

 

 

Many lung injuries are caused by the inhalation of smoke or toxins, like secondhand smoke or asbestos. They can turn into serious, life-threatening illnesses. Lung tissue can become so damaged that it never heals, and the muscle and tissue can deteriorate. The damaged tissue can become inflamed and infected, making it difficult to breath. Victims can be placed on respirators or may be required to permanently received oxygen.

 

Heart injuries are caused by toxins, secondhand smoke, unhealthy working conditions, and more. Heart injuries can lead to serious side effects like heart disease, heart attack, stroke, and even death.

 

Heart and lung injury treatment includes seeking medical attention, treating the symptoms, and rehabilitating the affected area. A personal injury attorney will help you investigate who is responsible for your case, file a claim, and begin seeking compensation.
