Personal Injury
Personal Injury law is a derogation of the societal concept that when our negligence injures or harms someone, we have a legal, (if not moral,) obligation to remedy the outcome of our carelessness. This has been recognized by mankind since biblical times. In a perfect world, a wrongdoer would accept responsibility for the consequences of their actions and seek to make things right for their victim. Unfortunately, most cases are not decided by the wrongdoer, but their insurance company. Of course, that company wants to resolve cases, but wants to resolve them for as little compensation as possible. Hence, more than a century ago, people began turning to their lawyers to help them obtain the reparations wrongdoers owed, but would not pay, (or more correctly, their insurer would not pay.) |

First and foremost, get the medical care and attention you need as soon as possible after the injury producing event. Delay in seeking care can complicate your health and your legal case. After the emergency care is complete, then contact an attorney who can advise you with whom you should speak and what you should speak with them about. An experienced attorney can make the process smoother and educate the client so they can be an active participant who helps resolve portions of their claims in a timely manner.
