Generally, the area of damages you may be able to collect in a personal injury claim include as follows:
- Property Damage. If you lost property in the accident such
as your vehicle, damage to your home or other types of property. - Medical Expenses. This includes the cost of medical care resulting from your injury that are not covered by health insurance or cost of deductible/co-payments you may be required to pay as well as projected future medical expenses which must be addressed prior to resolution of the case.

- Pain and Suffering: When you are injured in any type of accident that is the fault of someone else you are entitled to recover compensation for physical pain, mental anguish, diminished quality of life and loss of consortium due to the impact of the accident and injuries had on your marriage.
It is our firm’s intent to obtain for our clients the maximum recovery by way of settlement, suit, mediation and/or arbitration. Insurance companies are like any other companies and operate for a profit.
It is often that insurance companies attempt to battle in order to avoid paying what is fair. We stand ready to take your case to trial if the insurance companies are not willing to negotiate in good faith to assure that you are adequately and fairly compensated for your losses.
WHY THE PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER YOU CHOOSE MATTERS:
It is quite common in injury cases that at a certain point prior to suit or trial following suit, the insurance company will attempt to make an offer and settle the claim. Often the offer is made so that the insurance company can save money and avoid the time and cost of litigation, however, at the same time the insurance company is not interested in assuring that you are fully and adequately compensated for your loss.
This is where an experienced personal injury attorney can make all the difference in the outcome of your case. It is our firm’s belief that if the offer the insurance company makes does not represent the full value of your claim based upon the facts and circumstances of your particular matter we institute suit.
It is not our belief that settling your case for less than fair value fulfills our responsibility to you. It is for that reason that our reputation with insurance companies is that if we cannot achieve a fair settlement without suit then we will simply go to court to obtain the result you deserve.
With insurance companies understanding how our firm represents clients it is often that they are more cooperative to amicably resolve the matter when they know that if they do not act in good faith we will take your case to trial.
