As a personal injury-focused law firm, we represent clients who have either:

• Suffered injuries due to another party’s negligence
• Become ill because of another party’s negligence
• Lost a loved one due to another party’s negligence

We may obtain compensation for these victims through insurance, a settlement, or a trial. The amount of compensation that we pursue – and the way that we choose to pursue compensation – generally depends on your losses. We consider your specific medical issues, the type of harm those issues cause, and the monetary value of each loss.

Do My Losses Entitle Me to Compensation?

In order for a loss to be eligible for compensation, it must generally originate from negligence. If we can show that negligence caused your loss, then you may receive awards for that loss.

Some of the losses that may factor into your lawsuit are:

Pain and Suffering

Pain and suffering is a category of non-economic losses. This category accounts for the suffering, trauma, pain, and other types of losses that are not purely financial in nature. 

Medical Costs

Medical costs may be a significant portion of your settlement. You may receive awards for diagnostic costs (imaging or physician’s observation), treatment costs (surgery or pain-relieving procedures), and rehabilitation. Medical equipment, follow-up care, and other medical expenses may entitle you to further compensation.

Property Damage (Where Applicable)

Some personal injury cases, including traffic accidents, may involve significant property damage. You may receive awards to finance repairs or replacement of your property.

Lost Wages and Other Financial Losses

Lost wages are a concern in both injury and wrongful death cases. In personal injury cases, you may be temporarily or permanently unable to work. In wrongful death cases, the victim can no longer earn a living because they have passed away.

Other financial losses may stem from reduced hours, lost retirement contributions, and ineligibility for performance bonuses.

Who Decides If You Will Receive Compensation?

All parties involved in your lawsuit may decide that you deserve compensation. We may reach a settlement at any point in your legal case. 

A personal injury lawyer from our firm will handle all negotiations on your behalf. If we are unable to work out a fair settlement with an insurance adjuster, then we will litigate your case.
