No attorney can offer an accurate damage/recovery estimate without knowing all of the details in your case. Most times the full extent of injuries are not diagnosed for weeks and only after extensive medical diagnostic testing. We are experienced attorneys who have knowledge about the insurance companies and can request coverage information and investigate the solvency of the person/entity that caused you harm. The more severe your injuries the more compensation you might expect to receive in a personal injury claim. The payment you deserve includes the costs of your past and current medical treatment, lost income from not being able to work due to your injuries and any property damage that may have been inflicted. We will also demand compensation for your physical pain. A personal injury attorney can review all the facts of your case and help you determine fair compensation for your damages.
