Start A Free EvaluationWe Must Prove the Other Party’s Negligence
According to the American Bar Association (ABA), a typical personal injury case must establish the following elements:
- Duty of care
- Negligence
- Causation
- Damages
Duty of care is the legal responsibility that one party has to another.
To establish liability, you must prove the party in question breached their duty of care to you and caused you to suffer injuries. For instance, if a driver was texting and driving and hit your car, causing you to suffer a traumatic injury, you could prove negligence was the direct result of your injuries and overall accident. After we demonstrate that the accident caused your injuries, we will establish that you suffered damages.
If you or a loved one have recently been injured in an accident caused through no fault of your own, you may be entitled to receive financial compensation.
We know you’re hurting. We can help. Free case evaluations, home and hospital visits.

How You Can Help Your Case
While our team will handle the legal aspects of your case, there are a few things you can do to protect your right to compensation:
Continuing with Your Medical Care
While you should get medical care as soon as possible after your accident, you should also continue attending doctor’s appointments and obeying your doctor’s orders until you have reached maximum medical improvement. This will help protect against accusations that you are contributing to or exaggerating your injuries.
Gathering Evidence
While our team will gather evidence on your behalf, you can help your case by protecting any documents you might have. This could include photos of the accident scene, medical records, medical bills, W2s, pay stubs, and your pain journal.
Watching What You Say to Insurance Companies
Shortly after the accident, you will likely receive a call from the other party’s insurance company. The insurance adjuster will likely ask you to give a recorded statement about the accident. It is very important that you watch what you say during this call as the insurer can use anything you say against you. We recommend that you decline to give this statement and direct any questions to your legal team.
