concerned that our clients receive the medical care they deserve and
recover physically from their injuries, as well as recover emotionally and
economically. We care enough to tell our clients the truth about what we
can and cannot do to help them. We care enough to devote ourselves fully to
each client's case. We know the law and know how to use it for our clients'
best interests.
We understand what the law should be. We understand the impact of an
injury and the financial costs which flow from them. Convincing a claims
adjuster or jury about the just and fair compensation due our clients is
our standard practice. We obtain meaningful and fair monetary recoveries
for our clients, with a minimum of wasted time, effort, stress and worry.

FAQ FOR PERSONAL INJURY
How long will my case take?
Every case takes a different amount of time. This depends on many different
factors, such as how long your treatment lasts; can it be settled before
filing suit; does it have to be filed because the filing deadline is
closely approaching; where does the case have to be filed.
Why is it significant where a case is filed?
Cases take longer to get to trial or settle depending on were they are
filed.
What is my case worth?
Obviously all cases are worth different amounts of money. Different factors
go into determining the value of a case. The nature and extent of an injury is
very important. For instance, a broken arm with a single fracture is not worth
as much as an arm that may be broken in multiple places. A broken arm that
was simple set and placed in a cast is not worth as much as an arm that required
surgery.
Are my scars worth anything?
Yes. Scars in and of themselves have a value for disfigurement. They can be
worth as much or more than an injury depending on there placement.
How would a jury determine what my case is worth?
At the end of a trial a jury would be instructed to determine what is fair
compensation for pain and suffering, loss of a normal life, disfigurement,
medical bills, aggravation of a pre-existing condition, caretaking expenses
and emotional distress. The jury would also be allowed to take into
consideration your life expectancy.
What is uninsured motorist coverage?
This is your own insurance coverage that provides compensation to you for
injuries you sustain by reason of an auto accident where the other driver
is either uninsured or underinsured. You should always carry this coverage
and insure yourself from the negligence of others.
What is underinsured motorist coverage?
This is your own insurance coverage that protects you when you are hit by
another car that does not have as much insurance coverage as you do. You
should always carry this because this protects you against a driver who
does not carry enough insurance.
What do I need to prove to win my case?
To win your case you need to prove that the Defendant owed you a duty to
exercise the appropriate standards of care. Second you need to prove the
defendant breached that duty or was negligent. Third, that the defendant’s
breach of this duty was the proximate cause of your injuries or damages.

What is a wrongful death case?

another, that death is considered to be wrongful.

The immediate family as defined by statute. Typically the wife and
children. If there is no wife or children then the statute goes on to
define who would be compensated next.
What compensation is available in a wrongful death case?
There are actually two parts to this. The first part is called the survival
action. In the event the person is not killed immediately due to the negligence
of a third person, their estate is entitled to compensation for the injuries,
pain and suffering they incurred from the time of the accident until they
die. The second part of the claim is for the wrongful death, i.e., the
damages suffered by the surviving family members for loss of inheritance, society,
support, love, affection, care, attention, companionship, comfort,
guidance, and protection. There also maybe compensation for loss of future
earnings.
