Accidents caused by negligence require attorneys to pursue a settlement for personal injury claims. Accidents happen; it’s part of life. But when an accident results from someone else’s poor judgment or negligent behavior, you may be entitled to compensation when another party is liable. Whether your case requires litigation or can be resolved through settlement, we are here for you.

As your personal injury lawyer, my first responsibility — establishing liability. In legal terms, this means determining that a person or entity (such as a business or corporation) is responsible for your personal injuries or damages. Establishing liability marks the beginning of every personal injury claim or lawsuit. Clients can’t be compensated until a decision is made determining liability.

In addition to establishing what parties are responsible for your loss, I will examine the evidence and negligence. Determining intent or negligence can impact the legitimacy of your claim

For most personal injury cases, liability is usually determined by proving an individual or business was negligent. This means that someone either failed to do the right thing or actively did something wrong that resulted in your injury. Insurance companies are more likely to accept a claim and offer fair compensation for your injury and damages when liability is clear due to negligence.
