Our goal is fair compensation for your personal injury. Compensation means all the money you need to cover the costs of all medical treatment from the ambulance ride through every day of physical therapy until you are back to functioning at 100 percent. This will include all loss of income during recovery, all funeral expenses should the worst occur, repair or replacement of all damaged property, plus other verifiable costs. Compensation also means additional costs that cannot be precisely calculated — pain and suffering, loss of companionship or mentoring should a spouse/parent be killed, and quality of life in cases of permanent disability.
If the case is individual – for example, you are injured in Alabama by another Alabama resident, the negotiations will be reasonably straightforward and it’s unlikely that you’ll ever see a courtroom. If you become part of a large lawsuit with multiple defendants and plaintiffs, it will require far more time and resources to bring to a conclusion. If the injury was attached to some crime, additional challenges arise.
The responsible party will do everything the law allows to defend themselves, just as you would in their place. You, however, are not in their place. The case for their defense must be met with a better case or you might receive nothing, and that means you could lose everything.
