Personal Injury Claims or Lawsuits

Personal Injury Claims can result from a myriad of situations caused by another person’s negligence. If another person or company causes you to be injured, you are due compensation. If you are injured due to someone else’s negligence or willful conduct, you may seek compensation from them for medical bills, mental anguish, lost wages, pain and suffering and any out of pocket expenses that you incurred due to their conduct. 


In addition to car wrecks, there are claims caused by companies or individuals that fail to make an area safe for patrons of companies, industrial accidents caused in work sites, medical negligence cases involving improper medical care, mental anguish cases involving family deaths and funeral homes or cemeteries. If you think someone has caused you or your loved one to be injured due to their negligent or willful conduct you need to contact an attorney. 


An attorney will help you investigate and research your claims. If possible, the attorney will negotiate the claim with the other party of their insurance company to get you compensation for your injuries and claims. However, if a settlement cannot be negotiated, a lawsuit will have to be filed. There are strict time limitations, called Statutes of Limitations, that must be adhered to by filing the lawsuit within that time limit or else your case will be forever barred. You need an attorney to make sure that your case is presented to the judge or jury in the appropriate way with all rules of evidence followed to make sure that your case is heard and if possible, ruled on in your favor.


Once a lawsuit is filed in court, there are set actions that must take place in order to allow the parties to know what the evidence is from the other party. Requests for documents and questions will be posed by all the parties and there are time limits set by the rules and courts set deadlines for the handling of the “discovery” phase of the litigation. There are different procedures that attorneys can take to try to resolve the case without having to present the case to a jury or judge for final determination on the facts of the case. You need a seasoned trial attorney that can assist you in the handling of any lawsuit.
