Filing a claim with an insurance company or suing for damages could help you receive financial compensation after an accident. This enables you to pay off hospital bills or allows you to seek assistance for emotional or mental distress. A personal injury lawyer from Longo Biggs Injury Law can help you with your claim. Here are the benefits of using a personal injury lawyer:
Depending on the accident type, the at-fault party’s insurance company may contact you soon afterward to make you an offer for compensation, aiming to settle the case outside of court. A personal injury lawyer from Longo Biggs Injury Law can help you negotiate a settlement with the insurance company, so you receive full and fair compensation for your injuries. By speaking with one of our lawyers, you can also obtain legal advice about whether to pursue the case in court instead.
Multiple parties can be held liable in a personal injury case. A car accident involving several drivers could be attributed to several factors, including distracted driving or a brake malfunction. Depending on the personal injury case, a business, storeowner, driver, medical professional, or caregiver may be determined as liable. Our personal injury attorneys will consult with you about the circumstances of the accident, malpractice, or abuse. This can help you identify who is responsible for your injuries and what kind of compensation you might receive.
If the liable party refuses to settle, personal injury lawsuits are taken to a civil court. As the plaintiff or the person seeking restitution for their injuries, you are responsible for proving liability. This includes proving that you experienced significant physical, mental, or emotional damages. Our firm takes pride in having one of our partners, C.D. Longo or Douglas Biggs, personally represent our clients. C.D. Longo and Douglas Biggs have acted as leading attorneys and lead counsel, respectively, for multiple successful personal injury cases. We use the latest legal strategies to achieve the desired outcome for your claim.
The word damages refers to financial compensation in a personal injury case. Personal injuries include economic and noneconomic damages. Economic damages are specific and calculable, such as loss of money and wages. Noneconomic damages include physical and emotional pain. If the liable party committed their actions with malicious intent, the court may award punitive damages, which are extra fines. Our personal injury attorneys fight for maximum damages so that you receive higher compensation.
