Personal Injury and Wrongful Death

If you are having difficulty dealing with an insurance company regarding your claim and feel that you are not being offered reasonable compensation for your injuries, please contact us to discuss your rights.  When we represent you in a personal injury lawsuit, we understand that the outcome of your case will have a significant impact upon your life.  We prepare every personal injury case as if it will go to trial which maximizes your recovery.  In a personal injury action, the damages recoverable include your medical expenses, future medical expenses, pain and suffering and future pain and suffering, loss of wages, and future loss of wages, loss of earning capacity, permanent impairment, and in some cases your spouse may have a claim for loss of consortium or services.  Occasionally, the defendant’s conduct will be so reckless and wanton that you may have a claim for punitive damages to punish the defendant and deter that conduct in the future.  Once the case is concluded by trial or settlement, you cannot seek additional amounts in the future for the same claim.  Generally, personal injury claims must be brought within one (1) year of the date that the accident occurred or the claim arose.  However, there are exceptions to this rule and you should contact an attorney immediately for advice concerning the time period for filing your claim.  In addition, the longer you wait to file your claim may result in the loss of evidence and witnesses which could greatly affect your chance of recovery.  The information in this paragraph is provided as a professional courtesy and does not constitute legal advise since our office does not represent you.
