Every time you get behind the wheel of your vehicle, you or a loved one may be at risk of incurring serious injuries in an accident, which was caused by a negligent driver. In some cases, those injuries could have life-changing consequences, and thereby leave you and your family financially devastated. Therefore, it is important that your rights are protected, and that you have professional legal assistance, in order to be equitably compensated for your injuries. And that is our job, because you cannot fight the insurance company, and the legal system, on your own. Our team of experienced lawyers will be more than happy to help you get justice.

Tort Claims This is the second type of compensation that we typically see in personal injury accident cases. These are claims against the driver who is at fault through their insurer, and usually includes any economic losses inclusive of wages, (past, present, and future) or pain and suffering, provided you can meet the required threshold. However, you can pursue a claim for:
Additionally, family members may be able to file a claim for attendant care, housekeeping, and any other services rendered; economic losses and expenses; and loss of care, companionship, and guidance.
