subject: Man Sustains Injury From Wayward Bullet [print this page] Most Greensboro residents are aware that an injury attorney can help you to pursue compensation after you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident, but what many may not know is that an injury attorney in Greensboro can actually help injury victims in all sorts of accidents. Whenever someone suffers an injury through the negligence or recklessness of another, an injury attorney in Greensboro can help to ensure that they receive the benefits that they are due.
For example, a pedestrian was walking down the street this week in Winston-Salem, a little less than 30 miles west of Greensboro, when he sustained an injury after he was struck by a "projectile" of some sort. It turns out the projectile came from a handgun that a man had shot off after an argument with his girlfriend.
Police who responded to the call found the injury victim on the sidewalk with a gunshot injury to his lower body. Apparently, 37-year-old Anthony Lewis and his girlfriend had been in an argument that had so enraged Lewis that he began discharging a handgun. It was a bullet from that handgun that hit injury victim Ronald Aundra and sent him to the hospital. Lewis was arrested in connection with the incident and faces multiple charges since he was a felon and not allowed to be in possession of a handgun.
Regardless of the outcome of the criminal charges against Lewis, however, Aundra could still contact an injury attorney in Greensboro and pursue a personal injury claim against Lewis. In fact, it is not unheard of for someone to face litigation in two concurrent trials over the same incident. Often when that happens, the personal injury attorney can use evidence that comes forth in the criminal trial to bolster the personal injury case.
If you live in the Greensboro area and you are suffering from an injury that you believe is the fault of another, contact an injury attorney in Greensboro as soon as possible to arrange for a consultation in which the attorney can determine if you have a reasonable personal injury claim. If you do, your attorney will aggressively pursue all means of compensation to which you are entitled. In addition, your injury attorney in Greensboro can work to amass the medical documentation, any police reports, and other paperwork that your case will require. Your attention can be focused on the important task of recovering from your injury, while your attorney engages in the task of obtaining the compensation that will make that recovery financially feasible.
