FAQ about Personal Injury Law

What Falls Under the Umbrella of Personal Injury?

In the most basic terms, personal injury law covers any type of injury that is sustained as a result of the negligence of another party. This includes car accidents, slip and fall situations, medical malpractice and more.


What Should I Do If I Have Been Injured in These Ways?

The first step of course is to get the medical care you need. This will not only ensure your safety, but give you a professional and proven record of the scope of your injuries. This is vital to your case moving forward. As soon as you have that, you can contact our team and we can begin looking into what happened.


How Much Compensation Should I Expect?

Personal injury cases normally aim to pay for several things.


  • The medical costs from the injury
  • Compensation for pain and suffering
  • Pay for lost wages


Other payments can come into play, especially if the injury causes long-term damages that will limit your ability to work or live normally going forward. No matter what type of injury you have sustained, you can count on us to get you the compensation you deserve.
