While few cases actually go to a “verdict” at trial in court, it is very important to know whether your attorney has been successful in going to court in the past and actually taking personal injury cases to “verdict”.  More importantly, insurance companies are very aware of attorneys with little or no experience in the courtroom and will rarely pay top-dollar to injured clients represented by an inexperienced attorney.

PERSONAL INJURY

Personal injury claims (that ultimately may lead to lawsuits) arise when people are injured by the careless or intentional acts of others.  When someone is determined to be legally responsible for injuring someone else (or even being partially at fault), they are liable for the injury and may be made to compensate the injured person (or their family). Such financial compensation oftentimes includes: payment of your medical bills (those bills already incurred and those bills you may incur in the future), lost income, physical impairment, pain and suffering, lost opportunity and many other things.

You need to be aware that even if you are partially at fault for your own injuries, you still very well may be entitled to some amount of money settlement for your claim.  Similarly, even if a family member or personal friend was involved with your accident (driver of the car in which you were a passenger or owner of the property where you were injured), you likely can make an “insurance claim” to compensate you for your injuries without trying to obtain any money directly from your family member or friend.

There are a wide variety of accidents or causes of personal injuries and wrongful death.  Some of the more common types of accident claims we handle are listed below, but rest assured, even if you don’t see your specific situation, it is quite likely that we have represented someone with a similar experience in the past.
