Personal Injury

Accidents happen every day. Sometimes, accidents are caused by things outside the control of any person- an act of god or a natural disaster. Often however, what many may call "accidents" are caused by the failure of a person to exercise the appropriate level of caution for the safety of others. We call this negligence. When that failure to use due care results in injury to a person, the law recognizes the victim's right to recover damages, or monetary compensation. Damages are based on the losses sustained by the victim. Medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and out-of-pocket expenses for car rentals or pharmacy charges are recoverable. The law also recognizes a victim's right to recover what some call non-economic damages for "pain and suffering."

 

Putting a dollar value on the specific ways that an injury has lessened the quality of someone's life is not necessarily an easy calculation to make. Many victims of negligence choose to employ experienced legal counsel to guide them through the often lengthy, frustrating and confusing process of recovering money for their injuries. From the identification of a viable claim, to negotiation with huge insurance companies, to presenting that claim to a court or jury, many victims need the guidance of an effective advocate to prosecute their claims.
