Personal injury lawsuits can be incredibly complicated. Potential plaintiffs must speak to a skilled personal injury attorney as soon as possible after the car accident. At our law firm, we typically take on car accident cases on a contingency basis. Our clients do not need to pay expenses upfront. Our firm takes a percentage of the damage awards of our clients at the end of the trial. Thus, our clients typically do not need to pay upfront for the expense of the personal injury trial. In most cases, our clients do not pay unless we win their case.

It is also essential that plaintiffs develop a trial strategy as soon as possible after the drunk driving car accident occurs. In many instances, settling out of court may be an advantageous option. Our attorneys have experience creating an effective negotiation strategy with the defendant. If a favorable settlement looks promising, we fight hard to agree with the defense. Avoiding a settlement can save time and money. Our clients can access their compensation quickly and begin paying their bills and securing their future. If a favorable settlement is not an option, then our experienced trial attorneys can represent your interests throughout your trial.

Our attorneys understand how challenging recovering for your injuries can become. When we meet with our clients, we empathetically listen to all of the facts of their case. After taking careful notes, we conduct a thorough investigation into their incident.

In addition to healing from physical injuries, our clients often face mounting medical bills, physical therapy, and, in many cases, an inability to return to work.

We fight assertively for our personal injury clients to receive compensation for their medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering. If the drunk driving defendant acted with willful and wanton conduct, we attempt to persuade the court to award punitive damages.

We routinely work with investigators and medical experts to provide our clients with the best available representation.
