Personal Injury

When a person is injured or disabled due to the fault of another party — such as when an on-the-job injury occurs through the fault of another, or as the result of equipment failure – a personal injury claim may be possible. These cases often overlap with a workers’ compensation claim. We often partner with local counsel in these matters when they arise out of an on-the-job injury.

In most cases, a settlement can be reached with the insurance carriers. When this is not possible, a law suit is filed and the matter is decided by a judge or jury.

Common issues raised in a personal injury claim include:

• Liability for the conditions that caused the injury
• Current and future medical expenses
• Lost wages/wage earning capacity
• Permanent impairment
• Non-specific damages, commonly referred to as "pain and suffering" or "punitive" claims
