Matters we can help you with:

• Motor Vehicle Accidents
• Workplace Injuries
• Professional Negligence
• Intentional Damage

If you are like most people, the first thing you think about when you sustain an injury is what you will have to do to get well. You need to heal, and you need to deal with the pain. Once you get beyond the initial realization as to the nature of your injuries, and beyond the initial treatments, your thoughts may turn elsewhere, especially if your recovery may be long, or difficult, or both.

Many injuries could and should have been prevented. If someone other than you caused or contributed to your injury, you may be entitled to compensation for the effects the injury has on your life. You may be entitled to compensation for medical treatments, lost wages, incidental expenses, and "pain and suffering". Injuries may prevent you from enjoying your home life, family life, recreation; you may just hurt all the time. You may have to be medicated for pain to such an extent that you are not the same person you were before the injury. You may have nightmares or other psychological damages resulting from the circumstances of the injury. If someone was careless (negligent) in causing your injury, or if they did it intentionally, you may be able to recover compensation from them.

The rules for recovery differ, depending on how, and where, and by whom you were injured. There may be more or other people at fault than you realize. Some of the people at fault may have no resources from which to pay compensation, and others may have substantial assets, or insurance policies which cover such situations.

You need to speak with a lawyer soon after your injury, in order to give them the opportunity to preserve valuable evidence which may otherwise be lost. There may also be time limits which apply relative to providing notice to insurance companies, or to other people or agencies that may be obligated to cover your losses. If you do not get to a lawyer before the evidence is destroyed, or before the time limits run out, you may compromise or lose your rights to fair compensation.
