Frequently Asked Questions
-
Do I Need To Prove Negligence In My Personal Injury Case?
All personal injury cases must prove negligence, which is the failure to take care of one’s duty. It is a breach or violation that leads to harm or injury for another person. There are three concepts in any personal injury case: duty owed, breach, and damages related to those breaches.

-
Can I Recover Damages For Lost Wages?
A person who has been injured due to another party’s negligence may be entitled to damages. These damages can include lost wages, medical expenses, physical and emotional pain, mental anguish, property damage, and more.
Lost wages can be recovered if the injured party is no longer able to work due to the injuries they suffered – whether for the short term or permanently. Lost wages can be critical to recovering through a personal injury claim. Proving lost income can be challenging without the right legal help working to prove the extent of your losses. Contact our law firm today to get the help you need.

How Do I Know If I Have A Good Case?
Anyone who has been injured due to another person’s negligence may have grounds to make a personal injury claim. To know what your case may be worth, it is important to speak with one of our personal injury attorneys as soon as possible. Deciding whether or not you have a good case will allow you to better understand how viable your claim might be. One way our law firm can help determine this is by looking at all the factors surrounding your accident, the extent of injuries suffered and establishing liability for these accidents.
-
Will My Lawyer Represent Me In A Court Case?
For any personal injury case, a lawyer may need to take your case through trial or other proceedings. A trial is where both parties present their cases before a judge and jury, while settlement hearings are often less formal discussions between both sides’ representatives about what could be done to settle your case without going through a trial. If you have been injured in an accident and think someone else is responsible, it is important to discuss your case with an attorney who can help determine how to best move forward.
