The Americas are the continents of North America and South America. For about ten thousand years the only inhabitants in the Americas were the Native Americans. Native Americans include the native people of Canada, Central America, and South America. When Christopher Columbus “discovered” America in 1492 the mass migration of people from Europe and Africa and Asia into the Americas began. The United States of America (USA) was founded on July 4th, 1776 when it fought and gained independence from Great Britain.
Anyone who opposes the immigration of people from Mexico, Central America, and South America into the USA is not in touch with history. Native Americans have been in the Americas for much, much longer than any Europeans, Africans, or Asians. Between the 15th and 20th centuries immigrants came to the USA in boats. Often the boats took months to travel across the Atlantic Ocean, and some people died during the journey. They arrived at the border of the United States in places like Ellis Island, New York. They did not submit expensive, complicated written immigration applications that take years to process. They just showed up, and were allowed to enter the USA. Some, sadly, were cargo on slave ships.
More recently we are seeing immigrants from Mexico, Central America, and South America arriving at the USA at the Southern Border. Many have to take a dangerous journey through the dry and arid regions of Northern Mexico and the Southwestern United States. Some people die during the journey. These people are searching for the same thing that most of the people who immigrated by boat between the 15th and 20th centuries were looking for: The American Dream.
An injury can change a person’s life. The frustration and pain that goes along with bodily harm deserves attention. The United States provides a legal framework that allows many injured people to be compensated by those that caused the harm. Often it involves an insurance company that will try to pay you as little as possible to settle your claim. We have the resources and experience to make sure that the insurance company pays you what you deserve.
The most important thing an injured person can do is heal and get better. We have contacts with some of the best medical providers in the city. Our job is to make sure our clients get paid, and help them find medical treatment. If the insurance company does not want to pay you what you deserve, we will file a lawsuit. We have contacts with expert witnesses and medical professionals who can provide reports and testimony to strengthen our case. When the case is in court, it will be up to a judge or jury to decide how much you should be paid for your injuries, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages.
