Trusted Personal Injury Lawyers

While physical injuries may take time to recover, mental anguish and trauma from a personal injury can take longer to heal. In addition to bodily harm, injuries sustained in a personal injury case can cause financial hardship such as medical bills and loss of wages while recovering.

Our experienced attorneys will pursue every option available to secure as much compensation as possible—for past and future lost income, medical bills, disability, disfigurement, and pain and suffering--so that you will not need to worry about your financial future.

Our Attorney’s operate on a contingency—meaning we only get paid if we win your case. Not only does this keep everyone motivated towards a favorable settlement or jury award, but it also allows each client, much-needed time to focus on recovery and moving forward with your new life.

Look for a lawyer with experience in personal injury law, a track record of successful cases, strong negotiation skills, and excellent communication. A compassionate and client-focused approach is also essential, as it contributes to a more supportive attorney-client relationship.

If the injury is due to a car accident or another incident covered by insurance, file a claim with the relevant insurance company. Provide them with all necessary information and documentation. It's advisable to consult with a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to guide you on settling your claim after an incident.

A personal injury lawyer will offer informed advice according to your specific situation, including explaining your rights, assessing the strength of your case, and guiding you on the best course of action. Personal injury lawyers are skilled negotiators. They will work to secure a fair and just settlement on your behalf. If a fair settlement cannot be reached through negotiation, a personal injury lawyer is prepared to take your case to court.

It's best to consult with an attorney who will deal with the legal complexity, and negotiate fair compensation that matches the severity of your injuries. We maximize insurance company payouts, and understand the value of your claim so you can focus on your recovery.

Determining whether you have a valid personal injury claim involves evaluating several key factors. Here’s a detailed guide to help you understand the process:

1. Duty of Care:

• Explanation: The first step is to establish whether the person or entity you believe is responsible for your injury owed you a duty of care. This means they had a legal obligation to act in a manner that would prevent harm to you. For example, drivers have a duty to follow traffic laws, and property owners must ensure their premises are safe for visitors.

1. Breach of Duty:

• Explanation: Next, you need to determine if there was a breach of that duty of care. A breach occurs when the responsible party fails to meet their duty through action or inaction. This could be a driver running a red light or a store owner failing to clean up a spill.

1. Causation:

• Explanation: There must be a direct link between the breach of duty and your injury. This means proving that the negligent actions or inactions of the responsible party directly caused your injury.

1. Damages:

• Explanation: To have a valid personal injury claim, you must have suffered actual damages as a result of the injury. Damages can include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and more.

There are a variety of types of compensation that may be available to you in personal injury settlements. These include:

1. Medical Expenses:

• Explanation: This includes all costs related to the medical treatment of your injuries, both immediate and future.
• Examples: Hospital bills, surgery costs, doctor visits, prescription medications, physical therapy, and any other medical treatments.

1. Lost Wages:

• Explanation: If your injury has caused you to miss work, you can seek compensation for the income you have lost during your recovery period.
• Examples: Salary, hourly wages, bonuses, and other earnings you were unable to collect because of your injury.

1. Loss of Earning Capacity:

• Explanation: If your injury has permanently impacted your ability to earn an income, you may be entitled to compensation for the reduction in your earning capacity.
• Examples: Reduced ability to work in your chosen profession or inability to perform specific job functions.

1. Pain and Suffering:

• Explanation: This covers compensation for the physical pain and emotional distress caused by your injury.
• Examples: Chronic pain, emotional trauma, anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues resulting from the accident.

1. Property Damage:

• Explanation: If any of your personal property was damaged as a result of the accident, you could seek compensation for repairs or replacement.
• Examples: Vehicle damage, personal belongings damaged in the accident.

1. Loss of Consortium:

• Explanation: This type of compensation is available to the spouse of the injured person and covers the loss of companionship and support.
• Examples: Loss of companionship, affection, and intimate relations.

1. Punitive Damages:

• Explanation: In cases where the defendant’s conduct was particularly egregious or malicious, the court may award punitive damages to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar conduct in the future.
• Examples: Drunk driving accidents, cases involving intentional harm.

1. Miscellaneous Out-of-Pocket Expenses:

• Explanation: Any other expenses directly related to your injury and recovery can also be compensated.
• Examples: Travel expenses for medical appointments, costs of hiring help for household chores you can no longer perform.
