Personal Injury Law
Personal injury cases arise out of an injury or death caused by the carelessness, recklessness, or deliberate actions of someone else. Personal Injury cases are always traumatic. Whether the injury is minor, severe or results in death, the victim(s) suffers some level of emotional distress beyond the actual injury. We ensure that you as the victim or family of the victim get proper compensation from the party responsible for the injury.
Injury Claims
When you are the victim of a personal injury, there are four things your lawyer must do right away to preserve your claim:
- Promptly investigate the accident
- Insure availability of thorough medical treatment
- Preserve evidence
- Commence a potential lawsuit prior to the expiration of the statute of limitations
A court of law may be used to file a lawsuit to force the responsible party to compensate for damages, physical or otherwise from these injuries. Non-physical damages may include:
In the case of Injury:
- Medical costs
- Rehabilitation therapy
- Loss of financial support
- Pain and suffering
- Punitive damages
Wrongful Death
In the case of wrongful death damages may include:
- Medical, hospital, funeral and burial expenses;
- Compensation for the decedent's pain and suffering, during any period of
consciousness between the time of injury and death;
- Losses suffered by the decedent's spouse, children, or next of kin, including:
- loss of financial support
- loss of service
- loss of gifts or other valuable gratuities
- loss of parental training and guidance
- loss of society and companionship
We will take all these aspects into account in determining an acceptable award for you and your loved ones.
