Understanding Personal Injury and the Law

There are multiple categories of personal injury, and each must be addressed in its own unique way. In the United States, millions of people go about their daily lives driving their cars or walking down the street while shopping, travelling, and working. Unfortunately, accidents happen all the time, but that doesn’t eliminate the pain and devastation an injury can cause when it happens to you or someone you love. 

In some cases, personal injury could have been avoided if proper precautions had been taken. In these cases of neglect or carelessness, it is vital that you protect your rights with help from a qualified personal injury lawyer. Some of the cases we deal with include:

• Truck and Auto Accidents – Auto accidents are an all-too-common cause of personal injury. If you are in an accident you should obtain medical care immediately, call the police and file a report, and gather as much information as you can from the scene. While you should report the accident to your insurance company, you should never give a recorded statement to them without your attorney present. 
• Slip and Fall – Personal injury from a fall can be caused by slippery floors, poor lighting, and uneven walking surfaces in both public and private places. If you suffer an injury in a private place of business you will most likely be forced to work with their insurance company. This can be a daunting task, so to protect your rights you should always seek assistance from a qualified personal injury lawyer.
• Dog Bites – Millions of people are bitten by dogs every year, many of which warrant immediate medical attention. if you’ve suffered an injury due to an aggressive dog, a personal injury attorney from our office can help you seek compensation for the physical and emotional pain you’re suffering.
