A personal injury case is more than a stack of medical bills and a diagnosis.
At 1LAW, we see the human side of personal injury – the months you’ve spent recovering, the time you’ve missed with your family, and the ground you’ve lost at work. We’ll be with you every step of the way to make sure you get back on your feet.
Following an accident, you can have pain and worries. Often times you may miss work and lose sleep. You shouldn’t have to represent yourself against the insurance company. Make no mistake about it, the insurance company has skilled professionals, whose job it is to be adverse to your interests. They are not under the stress of a recent accident and they are keenly aware of what they can do to raise questions about your claim. Insurance adjusters make decisions about people they have never met, relating to pain and injury that they are not experiencing. Our job is to help them feel and understand what you are going through.
A great attorney can change everything. We strive to provide personal care and to treat our clients like family. That means responding to calls, texts and email. We want to give you peace in a trying time.
Our experience helps you avoid common mistakes and pitfalls of dealing with an auto accident with injuries. Often it is about knowing what benefits you are entitled to or what providers will work with you if you have a high deductible or don’t have insurance.
Life presents many surprises, not all are good. Despite how careful and cautious you may be on the road, at home, at work, or elsewhere, you can’t always predict what other people do, or fail to do. An intentional, negligent or reckless act of another may cause you or a member of your family to be injured or even killed.
Serious injuries change lives in unimaginable ways. You may be unable to work for an extended period of time or even permanently. Without your income from employment, how will you pay the bills for the medical treatment you have received and will need in the future? How will you pay your mortgage or rent? How do you support your family in the future?
Car Accidents
If you have been injured or a loved one has been killed in a car accident, you need an experienced and dedicated personal injury lawyer on your side. The diligent car accident attorneys at 1LAW have a proven record of obtaining the maximum compensation for car accident victims. Our personal injury attorneys work directly with car accident reconstruction experts to thoroughly investigate car accidents and identify any and all contributing factors. We use expert opinions to build solid, evidence-based personal injury cases. Doing so increases the probability of a successful outcome.
We understand what the value of future medical needs can be in each case. Many times our clients ask, “what if I need medical treatment in the future?” We evaluate each case on an individual basis to make sure our clients needs are presented to the insurance carrier. By knowing our clients needs and issues we can better advocate for them and achieve better results.
Without a knowledgeable car accident attorney, you are at the mercy of insurance claims adjusters who are typically more concerned with profit rather than helping car accident victims. Our legal team will protect you against the predatory tactics of insurance companies and will battle for the compensation you deserve.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle riders suffer much more severe injuries and deaths when an accident occurs than other types of vehicle accidents. The National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration reported that approximately 88,000 motorcyclists suffered personal injury in traffic accidents in 2013 and total of 4,668 motorcycle riders were killed in traffic accidents. The inattentiveness of motorists and their failure to yield to motorcyclists put motorcycle riders at greater risk of being in a traffic accident than occupants of other types of vehicles. Statistics show that motorcyclists are five times more likely of being injured in an accident and are 26 times more likely to die.
Motorcycle riders enjoy the same legal rights as car and truck drivers. Unfortunately prejudice and negative attitudes towards riders exist in the minds of many juries and judges who may be predisposed to find a motorcyclist at fault. There are often unique issues involved in motorcycle accident personal injury cases therefore, it is critical to retain a knowledgeable and experienced motorcycle accident attorney. Our experienced personal injury legal team will work tirelessly to overcome prejudices and obtain the compensation you are entitled.
Property Liability
An owner or occupier of land owes a duty to those who come onto his or her property. The duty that is owed depends on the purpose for which the person came on to the property. Generally, the duty is to inspect for and warn or make safe dangerous or unsafe conditions on the land. Liability typically attaches when there is an unsafe and unnatural condition and someone is injured because of it. Slip and falls are one of the most common property liability personal injury claims. It is important to speak with a personal injury attorney immediately following an accident on the property of another as insurance companies will likely be involved. The goal of the insurance company is to pay you as little as possible.
Injuries Involving Public Entities
When a personal injury occurs on public land, the public agency may be liable. Public entities include states, cities, counties and other municipalities. Public entity liability is a complex area of law and the time in which you have to file a claim may be very limited. It is crucial that you seek the advice and counsel of a personal injury attorney that has experience filing claims against public entities as your recovery of damages may depend on it.
Animal Attacks
Every year, thousands of people are attacked by animals. Dogs are most often responsible. Generally, a person attacked by an animal has a legal right to pursue a recovery of damages from the animal’s owner or other responsible party.
If you are attacked by an animal, seek medical attention immediately. If your injuries are not treated, it can cause more a serious injury, infection or death, especially if the animal was diseased. Once medically treated, you should consult a personal injury attorney with experience in animal attack cases. The lawyer will discuss whether you whether you have a valid legal claim, and what you may be able to recover from the responsible party.
Medical Malpractice
Although a doctor’s negligence is the cause of most medical malpractice claims, it’s important to understand that not every unfortunate result of medical care is a case of medical malpractice. The law surrounding medical malpractice claims is complicated. It is vital that you speak with a medical malpractice attorney immediately. Countless people do not know they have a potential medical malpractice claim, and lose the opportunity to pursue compensation for their injuries.
The medical malpractice attorneys at 1LAW will use their knowledge and experience to investigate, evaluate and determine fault in your case. Our attorneys will arrange for expert witness testimony to determine what went wrong with your medical treatment that led to your injuries. We will craft a compelling case that can be used as leverage in negotiating a settlement or for presentation to a jury. Contact 1LAW today if you think you have been injured as a result of negligent medical treatment.
Nursing Home Abuse
Every year, 2.1 million of our country’s senior citizens are subject to some form of abuse. Typically, the abuser is a caretaker of the citizen. It is also estimated that for every one case of elder abuse that is reported, five go unreported. Emotional, physical, and financial abuse occurs in our nation’s nursing homes on a daily basis. Because the abuse is typically perpetrated by a person the elder depends on, it is often unreported.
If you suspect that someone you love may be the subject of abuse or neglect in a nursing home, it is very important that you contact an attorney immediately. Speaking with the nursing home staff may not be in your best interest. A nursing home abuse attorney at 1LAW will gather all of the relevant facts and circumstances and will approach the nursing home on behalf of the person that you suspect is being abused.
