Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle
There are plenty of personal injury cases that personal injury attorneys can handle on your behalf. Some of the most common personal injury cases that we handle include the following:Car Accidents
Car accidents are a daily occurrence in the United States and they can often lead to serious injury or death. If you or someone you know has been injured in a car accident, it is important to contact a personal injury lawyer right away to discuss your legal rights and options.
Car accidents can be caused by a variety of factors, including the negligence of another driver, a defective car part, an unsafe road, or excessive speed. Injuries from a car accident can range from minor cuts and bruises to more serious head and spinal injuries. If you were injured in a car accident, you may be entitled to compensation for the medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering that may have resulted from the accident.
Truck Accidents
Truck accidents are some of the most devastating motor vehicle accidents that can occur. Due to their sheer size, trucks can cause significant damage to other vehicles and property, as well as catastrophic injuries to anyone involved. Unfortunately, too many truck accidents are caused by negligence, putting those who share the road with large trucks at risk of injury or worse.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a truck accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses. Personal injury lawyers experienced in handling truck accident cases can help you understand your rights and pursue the maximum compensation to which you may be entitled.
Wrongful Death
Wrongful death is a legal term used to describe a death caused by the negligent, reckless, or intentional act of another. These types of deaths often leave families and loved ones without a breadwinner and in a financial crisis. In some cases, the loved ones may be entitled to compensation for their loss, which can help them to recover financially.
Personal injury attorneys can help families and individuals who have lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligence. Wrongful death claims are designed to provide financial compensation for losses such as medical expenses, burial costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering. In some cases, punitive damages may also be awarded to punish the wrongdoer and deter future similar behavior.
Bicycle Accidents
Bicycle accidents can cause serious and potentially life-threatening injuries. As a personal injury lawyer, we understand the devastating consequences of bicycle accidents, and we want to help.
Bicycles are considered vehicles in most states and bicyclists are afforded the same rights as cars and trucks. This means that bicyclists have the same right to use the roads as motor vehicles, and are legally obligated to follow the same rules of the road. Unfortunately, even when bicyclists obey the law, they are still at risk of being hit by a car or truck.
When bicyclists are hit by a motor vehicle, their injuries can be severe. Common bicycle accident injuries include broken bones, spinal cord injuries, head trauma, internal organ damage, and even death. These injuries can have a lifelong impact, resulting in medical expenses, lost wages, and a decrease in quality of life.
At our law firm, we have extensive experience handling bicycle accident cases. We understand the legal complexities of these cases and know how to build a strong case for our clients. We will thoroughly investigate your case to determine who is at fault, and aggressively pursue compensation for your injuries.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a bicycle accident, do not hesitate

Tips for a Successful Claim
You need to put your personal injury claim in the best position possible to be successful. Some of the essential tips that you need to follow include the following:

Collect Any Evidence
Regardless of the nature of the accident, you need to collect evidence at the scene. For example, if you are involved in a motor vehicle accident, you must take pictures of all the vehicles involved. If you have documents, such as insurance communication and medical bills, save them.
Hire an Attorney
Even though you might think that the facts of the case are on your side, you must also ensure that the law is on your side. That is why you need to hire an experienced personal injury lawyer who understands how to ensure a judge or jury understands the merits of your case. We would be happy to help you.
