Get the Most for Your Personal Injury Lawsuit

If you have been injured due to the negligence or recklessness of another, you are entitled to damages for economic and noneconomic losses. An individual who has suffered personal injuries can, in certain circumstances, also file a claim for punitive damages.

Punitive damages are made separately from, and are in addition to, any economic or noneconomic losses. A civil trial journey assesses noncriminal fines to penalize reckless and negligent behavior which also serves as an example to others. The amount of compensation that your claim is worth will depend upon the unique facts of the case.

Consulting with an experienced personal injury attorney is the best way to get the settlement that you deserve.

Types of Personal Injury Claims

Victims who sustain injuries due to many types of accidents, including automobile accidents, can file a personal injury lawsuit for economic, noneconomic and possibly punitive damages. In the case of a wrongful death claim, the surviving family member or legal executor may file for damages.  Some examples of accidents where victims are entitled to compensation occur from:

  • Automobile accidents including car, truck or motorcycle

  • Highway accidents with semi-trucks

  • A slip or fall

  • Drowning, near drowning

  • Electric shock and electrocutions

  • Medical malpractice

  • Anesthesia error

  • Animal attack or dog bite

  • Nursing home abuse or neglect

  • Dangerous or defective products

  • Assaults

  • Bicycle or scooter accident

  • Pedestrian accident
