Our timely and competent legal assistance will help you navigate smoothly through the numerous and confusing problems arising out of a personal injury predicament.

Personal injury lawsuits are filed by people (or their relatives) who have been injured or killed because of the wrongful conduct of some other person or entity. The injury may be either physical or emotional, and it may be in the form of a sickness or disease.

Among the most common types of personal injury claims are:

  • Slip and fall accidents
  • Motor vehicle accidents
  • Construction accidents
  • Animal attacks
  • Products liability
  • Nursing home abuse and neglect
  • Medical malpractice
  • Dram shop (liquor establishment) liability, etc.
To resolve a personal injury claim, if the parties don’t agree on a settlement, a civil lawsuit is filed. Civil claims seek only monetary damages (usually, compensatory damages). If the court or the jury find someone responsible for causing an injury to another person, the person causing the injury may be required to pay compensatory damages. Compensatory damages may include pain and suffering, lost wages (past and future), medical expenses (past and future), loss of a normal life, and loss of society. Furthermore, in some cases where the defendant’s conduct was not just negligent, but reckless or intentional punitive damages may also be awarded to punish the defendant.

The times after a personal injury can be difficult and life-altering. In addition to physical healing and recovery, you may have to face numerous additional issues demanding your immediate attention such as resolving insurance issues, securing medical care and payment of medical bills, loss of income, taking time off of work, and many others.
