Personal injury claims built around what happened
A personal injury claim is a legal dispute in which one or more parties may be responsible for another person’s injuries or wrongful death. Many cases resolve through a settlement with the responsible party’s insurance carrier. When a fair offer is not reached, the claim may proceed in court.

What must be proven in a negligence case?
The plaintiff generally must show that the defendant owed a duty of care, breached that duty, directly caused the injuries, and caused measurable damages. The facts, medical evidence, and available insurance coverage all influence the value and direction of a claim.
A thorough investigation
We collect and analyze medical and police reports, interview witnesses, review video surveillance and photographs, and work with technical experts or accident reconstruction specialists when the facts require it.
Settlement or trial preparation
We negotiate with the responsible party or insurer and prepare the case for a judge and jury if a fair settlement is not offered. A willingness to litigate can change how a claim is evaluated.
Damages and the sources of compensation
Depending on the claim, recoverable damages may include medical expenses, lost wages, lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, scarring and disfigurement, and property damage. A wrongful death claim may also include funeral and burial expenses, loss of companionship, and loss of inheritance. Punitive damages may be available for gross negligence or malicious intent.
Compensation may come from homeowners or commercial liability insurance. When damages exceed policy limits, the property owner or other responsible party may be responsible for the additional amount.
Trust during a difficult time
Trust is the foundation of the lawyer-client relationship. We focus on the legal investigation, negotiations, and litigation while you focus on treatment and recovery, with clear communication about what comes next.
