Serious injuries do not always result in viable cases for compensation. If you are an accident victim, you may be able to pursue damages from the party who harmed you if you can show they acted negligently. Building a winning negligence claim can be difficult without a compassionate attorney’s help.
Our lawyers have built a reputation as experienced advocates for injured people. We will work tirelessly to answer your questions, investigate the cause of your injuries, and pursue a claim for the damages you deserve. A Sleepy Eye personal injury lawyer at our firm would be happy to discuss your legal options with you.
In a personal injury case, you are typically required to prove negligence to be entitled to compensation. Failing to prove even one of negligence’s four elements can cause your case to be unsuccessful.
You must show that the other party owed you a duty of care. These duties include the obligation to drive safely to protect other motorists, bike riders, and pedestrians.
You must prove the other party broke the duty of care they owed you. They may have caused a wreck by driving while intoxicated or failed to clean up a spilled drink that led to a fall.
The third and fourth elements are causation and damages. You must prove you suffered damages that were directly connected to the breach of the duty of care.
Proving negligence on your own can be a challenge. Our experienced Sleepy Eye personal injury attorneys can handle this process for you while you focus on your recovery.
After your accident in Sleepy Eye, our attorneys can bring a personal injury claim on your behalf to recover compensation for the harm you have suffered. The law allows accident victims to pursue various types of damages.
Medical bills can accumulate quickly after your injury. The cost of the following medical necessities may all be recoverable:
You may even be entitled to damages based on your future medical needs.
If you have been unable to work because of your injuries, you may be able to recover the income you have already lost. You may also be able to recover damages for diminished future earning capacity if your injuries prevent you from returning to your previous career.
Not all damages are financial in nature. Damages for pain and suffering account for the physical and emotional distress caused by an accident. Although they are subjective, these damages are just as important as economic damages in many cases. Our attorneys will work to establish the severity of your pain by showing a jury how it has impacted your quality of life.
Our lawyers can help you clearly document your losses and present your case in the best manner possible to increase your chances of obtaining fair compensation.
It is hard to deal with serious, unexpected injuries. They can keep you out of work, affect your ability to meet your basic needs, and cause you physical and emotional pain. A financial settlement cannot erase what happened to you, but it can alleviate your worries while you focus on healing.
