Personal injury law, in particular, is designed to help innocent victims piece together their lives after a devastating accident.

As a society, we understand that people will make mistakes, and it’s not usually a good idea to throw people in jail as a result of these mistakes. Few people would argue that someone should go to prison because they did a poor job of clearing water and leaves off their sidewalk and a passerby slipped as a result.

However, if you’re that passerby, you’re still facing the medical bills that arise from your slip and fall. You’re still dealing with the pain. You’re still dealing with your inability to work as you did before the accident.

To have a personal injury claim, you must first have been injured. This may be a physical injury or it may be an emotional injury. Secondly, your injury must have been caused by someone else (who will be the defendant) through their negligence. Lawyers and judges use the term “negligence” to describe the actions of the person who is at fault or who is responsible for causing the injury. If you are unsure about whether you have a personal injury case, please contact us for a free consultation. It is worth a small part of your time to thoroughly explore your options and ensure you are appropriately compensated for your injuries.

If you needed expert medical attention after an accident, you likely need legal representation. If you have been seriously injured or are unsure as to the outcome of your injury, then a lawyer should always be consulted as soon after your injury as possible and definitely before you give any statements or sign any papers of any kind. If you have been seriously injured, you will benefit by hiring an attorney to ensure the other party’s insurance company fully covers your medical bills and other financial losses you may incur. Insurance companies are focused on paying as little on claims as possible, so don’t let them take advantage of you. We offer a free consultation, with no obligation that you hire us. Health care costs of almost any kind can be expensive and you have nothing to lose by consulting an injury attorney.
