Personal Injury / Wrongful Death

We represent people who have been injured or whose relatives were killed due to wrongful conduct of others. There are many types of cases that result in personal injuries to a person. A personal injury case may involve a wrongful death or disabling injury caused by a nursing home, doctor, or hospital; it may be the result of HMO or PPO negligence. It may be the result of negligent highway or road design, a dangerous or defective product or premises, slip or trip and fall, automobile or other vehicular accident. Regardless of how a person is injured, he or she and possibly his or her family, may have rights under the law.

Once an accident has occurred, it is imperative that the injured party contact an attorney immediately to protect their rights. Our office will photograph your injuries, the accident scene, and evidence. In the case of medical negligence, we can obtain your records before they are altered. When there is a vehicular accident, our office can determine if there is insurance coverage available to you to pay for any damage to your vehicle and for your medical care. Generally,the insurance company for the responsible party will try to get witness statements. Our office usually advises our clients not to give statements to anyone. We will interview witnesses and responsible parties while the pertinent events are fresh in their minds and before insurance companies try to minimize their exposure and hire attorneys to aggressively undermine your claim. Your attorney can be proactive, maximizing your recovery and monetary outcome.

An experienced personal injury attorney has the knowledge and expertise necessary to guide the client through the difficult legal process. There are strict time limits within which claims and/or lawsuits must be filed. If a party fails to file within these time limits they will loose their right to seek compensation through the legal justice system. An experienced attorney knows these deadlines and will be sure your rights are protected.

In addition to protecting your interests, our office will assist you in obtaining excellent medical care, resulting in the maximum compensation for your injuries. We will locate the necessary medical providers and specialists in your area who will diagnose your condition, treat your symptoms, and thoroughly document your injuries. If you do not have insurance coverage or the financial means to pay your medical expenses, we may request a doctor evaluate and provide you with treatment on a lien basis so that you can get the medical care you need.

Insurance companies are generally involved in a personal injury matter. These companies are familiar with the process and have lawyers working for them. You should have a lawyer working for you. There is no fee for an initial consultation and our office works on a contingency fee basis. This means that the client does not pay us a fee until we settle or win your case.
