Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

In situations where someone failed to act reasonably or did not take the proper steps to protect others from harm, our law firm can help injury victims hold those parties responsible for their damages. We can provide representation for clients who have been injured in situations such as:

• Car Accidents: Collisions may be caused by distracted drivers, drunk drivers, or people who were speeding or committing other traffic violations. In these situations, we can address the serious injuries that have affected drivers, passengers, and others on the road.
• Pedestrian Accidents: Crashes in which a driver collides with a person who is on foot will often result in catastrophic injuries. We fight to hold negligent drivers responsible for injuring pedestrians.
• Motorcycle Accidents: When motorcyclists are struck by negligent drivers, they can suffer severe harm due to the impact with a vehicle, landing on or being dragged across the ground, or being run over by another vehicle. We work to ensure that drivers will be held liable for accidents caused by their failure to drive safely around motorcycles.
• Truck Accidents: When 18-wheelers or other large trucks are involved in collisions, people in other vehicles are likely to suffer serious harm. We can identify the causes of a commercial truck accident and the parties who may be held liable.
• Slip and Fall Accidents: Injuries that take place in a business or on private property because of hazardous conditions like wet floors or poor lighting may be addressed through premises liability claims against property owners.
• Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect: Physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, lack of supervision, failure to provide medical care, or other forms of negligence can lead to serious harm for elderly residents of nursing homes. We work to hold negligent facilities responsible for their failure to prevent people in nursing homes from suffering harm.
• Dog Bites: An attack by a dog may lead to injuries such as lacerations, infections, nerve damage, scarring, or psychological trauma. We work to hold pet owners liable for these types of injuries.
• Medical Malpractice: Patients may suffer serious harm when doctors, nurses, surgeons, or other healthcare providers are negligent in providing medical care. We can address issues such as misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, or birth injuries that may affect patients.
• Wrongful Death: In cases where a person's death was caused by someone's negligence, we work with surviving family members to obtain compensation that will address this devastating loss.

Compensation Available in a Personal Injury Claim

When representing injury victims, our attorneys will make sure they understand the different types of damages they have suffered and the full scope of the compensation they may be eligible to receive. We can help clients address both the economic and non-economic consequences of injuries and obtain compensation for:

• Medical Expenses: Medical costs may include any expenses related to emergency room treatment, hospitalization, surgery, diagnostic testing, prescription drugs, physical therapy, other forms of rehabilitation, wheelchairs or other assistive devices, and any future medical care that will be needed.
• Lost Income and Earning Capacity: When an injury prevents a person from working, even temporarily, they may be compensated for their lost wages. We work to ensure that a person will receive compensation for the income they were unable to earn during their recovery, and we can also address reductions in earning capacity due to the long-term or permanent effects of an injury on a person's ability to work.
• Pain and Suffering: The physical pain addressed in a personal injury claim may include discomfort, distress, and other forms of harm a person has experienced. The amount a person can receive may depend on the severity of their injury, the duration of the pain, and the ways their daily life has been affected.
• Emotional Distress and Psychological Harm: Serious injuries may cause a person to experience issues such as anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances. People who have survived violent crashes, disfiguring injuries, or traumatic medical experiences may struggle with the emotional fallout of the situation, and these issues may continue to affect a person long after their physical wounds have healed. Our team works to ensure that the psychological impact of an injury will be fully documented and that a victim will be compensated for these issues.
• Reduced Quality of Life: A person may be compensated for the ways an injury has affected their ability to enjoy the activities, hobbies, relationships, and routines that were part of their life before the injury. Anything that has led to a change in the quality and enjoyment of a person's everyday life may be addressed in a personal injury case.
• Loss of Consortium: The compensation paid in a personal injury case may not only address the effects of an injury on a victim, but also on their family members. The harm done to the relationship between the injured person and their spouse or other family members may be covered, including loss of companionship, support, and the ability to maintain the same relationship family members had before the injury occurred.
