Q: What is personal injury?
A: "Personal injury" refers to any injury to someone caused by the negligence of another. "Negligence" is the failure of someone to use reasonable care. Negligence is measured against what a reasonable person would have done, or not have done, under the same or similar circumstances. Common types of personal injury claims include:
Automobile Accidents
Slip or Trip and Fall
Injuries to Children
Defective Products
Dog Bites
Q: How much is my claim worth?
A: Each prospective claim is evaluated at the outset to determine if we believe money damages can be recovered for you. Among the factors reviewed is liability. That is, whether there is evidence that the wrongdoer's negligence is greater than your own.
The nature and extent of your damages (injuries or other loss) is also reviewed. Your damages can be measured by looking at a number of factors, such as:
Physical and mental pain and suffering
Economic loss
Diminution of your present and future earning capacity
Degree of physical impairment or disfigurement
Depending upon the particular circumstances surrounding your claim, other factors could also be significant. And, we realize that your situation and problems are unique. In many instances, this may be your first experience with an attorney and you will have a lot of concerns. We will provide you with individual attention, a fast response to your calls and answers to your questions.
