EXAMPLE:
To answer Question 1. (a) You should refer Mishak, who sustained injuries to his
neck as a result of a car accident, to a hospital or a doctor for medical treatment.
You should advise Mishak to report the accident to the police and to inform his car
insurance company about the accident. Additionally, if Mishak decides to claim
compensation for his injuries, you should refer him to a personal injury lawyer or the
Road Accident Fund.
(a) Mishak sustained injuries to his neck as a result of a car accident.
Answer: For Mishak's legal problem, I would refer him to a personal injury lawyer
who can help him pursue compensation for his injuries. Mishak may also need
medical attention, so I would encourage him to seek medical care if he hasn't already
done so. If Mishak needs help finding a personal injury lawyer, I may be able to
provide him with a referral to a local legal aid organization or state bar association
that can connect him with a qualified attorney. Additionally, if the car accident was
severe, I may also suggest that Mishak file a report with the police and his insurance
company.
