Accidents are rarely the random or chance mishaps that most of us assume them to be. Instead, they’re usually caused by someone’s fault or negligence and those injured in a motor-vehicle accident or a slip and fall accident are entitled to seek compensation from those responsible for it. This is achieved by filing a personal injury claim and it’s advisable to contact a Walford personal injury lawyer as early as possible. The compensation or “damages” sought from the at-fault party are intended to make the victim “whole” again or restore them to as close a position they would have been in had the accident not occurred. Our accident injury lawyers can assist victims to seek damages based on the type of case, the circumstances, the type of injury suffered, the extent of liability and the applicable laws in the case.
Damages can usually be categorized as economic and non-economic. Economic damages are those that can be quantified directly – for instance medical bills, loss of wages etc. Non-economic damages can only be inferred as causing financial loss to the victim – for instance, psychiatric problems or post-traumatic stress disorder arising from the accident. Our Walford car accident lawyer and Walford slip and fall accident lawyer can assist victims to seek compensation for medical expenses arising from injuries caused by the accident, lost wages due to missed days of work/permanent loss of income caused by injuries, pain and suffering or emotional distress, wrongful death if the victim dies as a result of injuries suffered in the accident, loss of consortium/guidance/companionship to the victim’s close family members and in some cases and states, punitive damages.
Our Walford injury lawyers can provide a swift, comprehensive and realistic assessment of the merits of the claim and ensure that the victim’s rights are fully protected during the entire legal process. Compensation pay-outs are usually made by the at-fault party’s insurers. Since we handle personal injury cases exclusively, our personal injury attorneys are well-versed with both personal injury laws and insurance regulations and keep ourselves up-to-date on the latest amendments and changes to best serve our clients.
