Explore common questions that come up with personal injury

Personal injury claims encompass many areas, including medical malpractice, nursing home negligence, wrongful death, intentional tort claims, auto accident, slip and falls, premises liability, dog bite injuries and any other injury caused by the negligence of a third party.

Our office represents injured parties in all types of personal injury matters on a contingent fee basis, meaning that there is no payment of legal fees unless we recover money damages for the client. The contingent fee agreement is in writing and signed by both the client and attorney.

First, consult with and follow the advice and instructions of your treating physician. From a legal standpoint, you should contact an attorney concentrating his practice in the area of personal injury as soon as you are able to in order to protect your rights and preserve evidence favorable to your case.

Reasonable and necessary medical expenses; lost earnings; loss of earning capacity; pain and suffering; loss of enjoyment of life; loss of love and affection; emotional distress; any resulting scarring, disfigurement or physical disability; property damages; out-of-pocket expenses directly related to being injured; and, in limited cases, “punitive damages” intended to punish a wrongdoer whose conduct is particularly egregious.

Absolutely not, under any circumstances. Any statements provided to an insurance company can and will be used against you in an effort to receive just compensation for your injuries. An insurance company’s main focus is to obtain as much information and evidence as it is able to in order to either deny outright the liability of its insured or to pay as little as possible for the personal injuries sustained as a result of the negligence of its insured. Always consult with an attorney before you speak with an insurance company.

Quite often, personal injury cases are settled without the necessity of filing suit. However, in order to receive full and fair compensation for your injuries, it is imperative that you retain an attorney who concentrates in this area of practice. Retaining an attorney early on will assure that the evidence and facts supportive of your claim are marshaled and preserved so that the insurance company can be advised of the strength of your case and to support your claim for injuries.

A very high percentage of lawsuits filed for personal injury are settled before trial. Only approximately 5-10% of such cases eventually reach trial. If a trial becomes necessary, you will be required to testify but before doing so will be well-prepared by our attorneys.

Both nonbinding mediation and binding arbitration are very common methods of resolving personal injury cases without the necessity of filing suit. Both mediation and arbitration require the agreement of all parties but quite often this is a preferred method of resolving such claims. Our office has successfully handled hundreds of mediation and arbitration claims for clients who have sustained personal injuries.
