Cases We Handle

We have experience in a vast array of personal injury and wrongful fatality cases. Consisting of, however not limited to:

So What Exactly Does Personal Injury Mean?

If a person becomes injured due to someone else’s negligence, it’s called personal injury. A good example is a car accident where the accountable driver crashes into and causes injury to another party. Or injuries can result in different ways, like when a company produces a product damaging to consumers. Several laws exist to safeguard the people who have been injured and aid them in getting monetary compensation for their damages because injuries caused by negligence are so common.

The ability to file a personal injury claim provides victims who have suffered from irreparable injury or damage due to negligence or harmful acts inflicted by another individual, company, manufacturer, or other entity the legal right to recover their damages. Personal injury lawsuits are filed for several reasons, which could be anywhere from medical malpractice to dog bites.

Injuries can happen just about anywhere where people coexist, such as:

  • At work
  • On the road
  • At home
  • At a place of business
  • Or just out on the town

Transportation Accidents

Auto accidents are among the most common type of personal injury cases. When an accident happens in an automobile or any other kind of transportation, for that matter, it is caused by negligence or carelessness by the driver. Suppose a driver fails to perform his legal duty to drive carefully on the road. In that case, he may be held financially and legally responsible for any damages caused by his lack of attention. Whether the accident is caused by a person driving too fast or driving under the influence of something, the ultimate stance on personal injury for auto cases is that the offending driver can be held liable for his actions if he is acting in any way that is typical person would not act.

Slips, Trips, and Falls Cases

Another common personal injury claim is cases dealing with slips, trips, or falls. When a person is injured by slipping or tripping due to hazardous conditions at a location, property owners can be held liable for their injuries if they failed to warn the individual of these dangers adequately. A relatable example of such a case is wherein businesses insist on displaying “Wet Floor” signs when cleaning. If companies do not give this proper warning, they can be liable for any injuries.

Homeowner/Landowner Liability

Homeowner and landowner liability is an extension of slip and fall cases. This is typically applied to personal injury cases similar to slip, trip, and fall cases, except they do not incorporate slipping, tripping, and falling. For instance, if a child undergoes an injury due to a playground owner not fulfilling his duty to warn of unsafe playground equipment, the playground owner can be held liable for the injuries sustained by the child.

Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice occurs when doctors, physicians, hospitals, or other health care providers do not perform specific actions or omissions that are expected to be completed at a professional level. Misdiagnosing the patient or providing the wrong dose of medication are examples of medical malpractice.

Product Liability

Manufacturers and distributors of products have the legal duty to warn consumers of any dangers or risks associated with the product. Individuals who experience severe and negative side-effects due to a defective drug, for example, can hold the manufacturer or distributor of the specific drug accountable for their injuries if the side-effects were not sufficiently forewarned.

Dog Attacks and Bites

Dog owners should be held responsible for their pets when they cause injury or harm to another individual, especially if they knowingly keep a dangerous animal or violate any confinement laws.

Wrongful Death

A wrongful death claim can incorporate any of the types mentioned above of personal injury cases, except that the injury’s ending result causes death in the individual. These cases are typically brought on by living family members or by the estate of the person who has passed away and ensured that a defendant is held liable for the injuries caused, whether they are physical, emotional, or financial.

Is Malpractice or Wrongful Death Valid Grounds For a Personal Injury Claim?

In the matter of wrongful death or malpractice by a professional, you would be able to file a personal injury claim. If a patient dies due to the negligence of a doctor or other medical personnel, or if the doctor performed a routine operation incorrectly, you will have a case for a personal injury claim because the person involved ignored standard operating procedures. The most frequent malpractice suits are medical negligence suits, but that does not imply that other professionals cannot get malpractice charges filed against them. Every profession has laws that professionals must follow to make sure that they’re doing their job correctly. If this were not the case, people could do as they pleased without bothering about the effects.

Why You Shouldn’t Handle Your Claim Alone

The personal injury law field is vast in scope. It requires familiarity with the specific laws and stipulations unique to each case to get you the reward you deserve for your injures. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you understand the various loopholes associated with this type of law and can ultimately provide you with compensation for your financial, physical, and emotional injuries sustained.

Do Personal Injury Lawsuits Have a Monetary Limit?

In the majority of situations, there is a limit to personal injury lawsuits:

  • The percentage of fault
  • The extent of the injury, and
  • Location all impact the monetary limits.

Each party is held accountable for a portion of the blame in the matter of an accident. It may be determined that a percentage of the injuries you sustained came from your negligence if, for instance, you had a car accident and did not have your seat belt on.

What Will I Have to Pay an Attorney With Regards to a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

There usually is a “no win, no fee” condition with many personal injury attorneys. Meaning that you will not owe your attorney anything if you lose your case. But there’s one catch. If the other party has no insurance, you will probably find that most attorneys will not accept your case. The specialty of the personal injury attorney is making the insurance companies cover the cost of the damage, so when the person liable has no insurance, there is less of an opportunity at receiving a significant settlement, making the case no longer worthy of the attorney’s time. The attorney gets a particular amount when you win the case. Always discuss the fees when at the first meeting with your attorney.
