Suffering an injury can impact many facets of your life. This can be very challenging and emotional, as a serious injury could result in lost time at work, extensive medical bills, physical restrictions, pain and suffering and strain on relationships. And when an injury is caused by the negligence of another, the situation can get more frustrating.
While your focus might be on recovering from your injuries, it is also important to consider what rights you have in the situation. Whether it was a negligent driver, business or property owner that caused the accident, it is possible to file a legal action to hold them accountable and recover damages for your losses.
Personal Injury Suit
At the Law Office of Helene Mark, our legal team understands the complexities an injury suffered in an accident can bring to a victim’s life. That is why our law firm focuses on our client’s needs while helping them navigate the aftereffects of the accident. This can quickly get overwhelming, as it is challenging to deal with insurance companies while also addressing and recovering from the injuries suffered.
Our attorneys are experienced in personal injury claims; therefore, we are prepared to answer any questions you might have concerning your insurance, the insurance of a negligent party and how to recover compensation for damages that exceed insurance coverage.
Recovering Damages
When filing a personal injury action, many question if the matter will have to go to court. The answer to this is dependent on the situation. In matters of extreme negligence and recklessness, punitive damages might be available. As such, moving forward with litigation might be necessary.
Often, these claims are settled privately. Whether through negotiations, mediation or arbitration, our law firm represents the best interests of our clients when reaching a favorable outcome. If a settlement is not reached, our attorneys are prepared to fight for the rights and interests of our clients at trial.
Accidents and the injuries that follow are unexpected, causing most to be unprepared to deal with the aftermath. Therefore, it is important to consider your options and legal rights. A legal professional can help you better understand your situation so you can make an informed decision when moving forward with a personal injury action.
