Personal Injury
Personal Injury
Personal injury cases are legal disputes that arise when one person suffers harm from an accident and someone else is legally responsible for that harm. A personal injury case can become formalized through civil court proceedings that seek to find others legally at fault through a court judgment or through informal settlement before any lawsuit is filed. Any potential personal injury case requires a detailed understanding of the facts, the processes, and the law. If an accident has impacted your life, you will want to consult with an experienced attorney to see if you should pursue a lawsuit. We handle the most serious of injury matters. Typically, our clients have had significant hospitalization, surgeries and permanent disabilities. If insurance companies treated people fairly, we would be out of business. This office was founded on the principle of protecting ordinary people from the powerful. Call and see if we can be your protector.
We consistently recover millions of dollars every year for Marshall County and Lincoln County residents. Unlike the law firms who spend millions each year on advertising, you can always walk in our front door. With us, you know your attorney and we know you.
Wrongful Death
Wrongful Death
When a person dies or is killed due to the negligence or misconduct of another, including murder, the surviving members of the victim's family may sue for "wrongful death". Every state has a civil "wrongful death statute," or set of statues, which establish the procedures for bringing wrongful death actions. Actions for personal injury, conscious pain and suffering, or expenses incurred prior to the decedent's death are also brought by the personal representative. The damage awards from these actions are distributed to the members of the decedent's family. We understand the loss you are going through and will protect you from the cruelty of the insurance company and their hired attorneys. We have recovered millions of dollars for families who have lost a loved one and, in the process, changed policies and behaviors of those responsible to make accidental deaths less likely to happen in the future. Many times my clients want to know that they are making a difference by changing dangerous behavior so that their loved one didn't die in vain. We agree that we must make a difference and that we must do everything possibly to honor the person whose life was lost by protecting others.
