Personal Injury is the area of law that involves civil law cases designed to obtain compensation for injured persons. The main concerns in a personal injury case are negligence and liability. A personal injury attorney usually tries to negotiate with the opposing party, or their insurance company, but if necessary, and the attorney believes the injured client has a valid litigation, the case may go to trial.
The primary aim of tort law is to provide relief for the damages incurred and deter others from committing similar harms. The injured person may sue for an injunction to prevent the continuation of the tortious conduct, or for monetary damages. Among the types of damages the injured party may recover are: loss of earnings capacity, pain and suffering, and reasonable medical expenses, which include both present and future expected losses.
Do I need a lawyer?
If you have been injured in an accident of any kind, there may be compensation available to you. However, these cases can involve complex legal issues that, if not handled properly, may jeopardize your ability to recover. It is important you speak to a professional who can explain your rights. I will take the time to give you a complete and candid assessment of your case with no obligation to you.
How much will a lawyer cost me?
Your consultation is free so don't hesitate to call. If you employ me to represent you, you will not be charged unless I recover damages for you, and then the fee will be a percentage of that recovery. I will pay expenses of representation as the claim proceeds and do not require reimbursement until your case is completed.
Who will pay my accident related bills?
Depending on your case, your bills may be paid from any number of sources. What is most important is that you receive the treatment you need. I tell my clients to first get the proper treatment. When the bills come, we exhaust all legal remedies in order to get the bills paid. Additionally, we also often negotiate our clients' medical bills in order to maximize their in-pocket recovery.
What should I do first if I'm in an auto accident?
- Identify all parties involved in the accident.
- Seek appropriate medical care and report all symptoms, regardless of how confident you are that they will soon subside.
- Report the accident to your insurer by phone. Write down the claim number they give you, as well as the name of the adjuster.
