Personal Injury

Personal injury cases involve disputes that occur when someone (or several people or even a group) suffers harm from an accident or injury, and someone else or some other business entity might be responsible for that harm. A case like this can become formalized through civil court proceedings that seek to find others legally at fault through a court judgment or might be resolved through informal settlement before any lawsuit is filed. Our firm has handled both avenues for various reasons, but most importantly, because whichever avenue was chosen was best for that client’s circumstances.

We’ve successfully obtained six-figure jury awards, cases with more than a $500,000 award without formal court involvement or any lawsuit, cases that involve insurance companies as well as workers compensation issues. We take the load off of our clients by handling affairs with insurance companies, hospitals, casualty insurers, health insurers, hospitals, doctors, and even medical record needs.

Formal Lawsuit – Unlike criminal cases, which are initiated by the government, a formal personal injury case typically starts when a private individual or several individuals or group (the “plaintiff”) files a civil complaint against another person, business, corporation, or government agency (the “defendant”), alleging that they acted carelessly or irresponsibly in connection with an injury that caused harm.

Informal Settlement – In reality, most disputes over fault for an injury are resolved through informal settlement, usually among those personally involved in the dispute, their insurers, and attorneys representing both sides. A settlement commonly takes the form of negotiation, followed by a written agreement in which both sides forgo any further action (such as a lawsuit), choosing instead to resolve the matter through payment of an agreeable amount of money.
