Overview

PERSONAL INJURY

A car accident can change the course of your life in just a few seconds. The law acknowledges this and allows financial compensation to victims of accidents caused by the negligence of others.

The scope of personal injury law is broad and includes things like:

  • Car and motorcycle accidents
  • Taxi and ride-share (Uber, Lyft, etc.) accidents
  • Bus and shuttle vehicle accidents
  • Truck accidents and injuries caused by drivers of commercial vehicles
  • Pedestrian accidents, including accidents that occur at crosswalks
  • Workplace accidents, including those related to construction
  • Slip-and-fall accidents and other cases involving dangerous premises

Depending on your unique situation, our law office may be able to help you recover both compensatory and noncompensatory damages. Noncompensatory damages, also known as punitive damages, may be awarded on top of compensatory damages to punish the party responsible for causing your injury.

Compensatory damages are meant to compensate you for your injuries; they include special and general damages. Special damages are specific monetary losses that an attorney can document and calculate, such as medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and transportation costs for medical appointments.

General damages are more subjective, and the amounts awarded often depend on an accident attorney's ability to present a unique, compelling perspective of your claim to a jury of your peers.

In a personal injury lawsuit, general damages are intended to compensate for factors such as:

  • Pain and suffering, which refer to your level of physical pain or discomfort at the time of the accident and at the present time.
  • Emotional distress, including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, insomnia, nightmares, and other symptoms.
  • Loss of enjoyment, which covers activities that brought you pleasure but which you can no longer do, such as visiting friends, pursuing hobbies, and engaging in other recreational pastimes.
  • Loss of consortium, which is the loss of love, companionship, comfort, care, assistance, protection, affection, society, and moral support; and the loss of enjoyment of sexual relations or inability to have children.

If you or a loved one have been hurt in an accident, you may be entitled to compensation for lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages. Let us help you determine whether you have a case.

Areas of Practice

We provide quality representation to clients in the following areas of law:

Personal injury law allows an injured person to go to civil court and get a legal remedy (damages) for all losses stemming from an accident or other incident. The purpose of the personal injury system is to allow the injured person to be compensated financially or "made whole" after he or she has suffered harm due to someone else's carelessness or intentional conduct.

Wrongful death claims are brought against a defendant who has caused someone's death. Wrongful death claims allow the estate and/or those close to a deceased person to file a lawsuit against the party who is legally liable for the death. Though each state's wrongful death laws vary, these kinds of lawsuits are usually filed by a representatative of the deceased person's estate, often on behalf of surviving family members affected by the death.

Civil Rights law includes the use of excessive force or lethal force leading to injury or death, unlawful arrest, and improper search and seizure. This applies to governmental authorities, including police officers, sheriffs, correctional facility officers, and others.

Employment law concerns the relationship between employers and employees. It covers a broad range of issues, including sexual harassment, discrimination, whistleblowing, wrongful termination, retalition, failure to accomodate a disability, and workplace safety.
