A
personal injury occurs when the wrongful conduct of one person or corporation
results in serious harm to another – whether due to negligent, careless behavior
or malicious intent. Regardless of the reason, the result of a personal injury
can mean pain and suffering, loss of income, long-term physical and mental
health issues, and significant damage to the victim's family.
The legal team at Attorneys for the Injured
understands that your immediate
goals after suffering a serious personal injury are securing medical care – and
paying for it. Often, personal injuries result in lost wages and victims
struggle to pay bills amid the challenges of recovery. Members of the immediate
family often suffer as well, both financially and emotionally. Our goal is to
secure the funds necessary to pay for long-term medical treatment, as well as
any income or earning ability affected by the injury.
If you have been harmed because of someone else's conduct, you may have a
personal injury case. In a personal injury case, lawyers for the plaintiff (the
injury victim) and the defendant (person or party against whom the plaintiff is
filing a lawsuit) present information about the case. If the court or jury finds
that the defendant is responsible for the plaintiff's injuries, the defendant is
considered to be liable (accountable) and must pay compensatory damages to help
the victim restore his or her life to the state it was prior to the accident. A
defendant may also be required to pay punitive damages, which are awarded in
cases where the judge or jury finds that the defendant's actions were not just
irresponsible, but intentional and egregious.
Attorneys for the Injured provides legal representation to victims of many
different types of personal injury cases, including:
The lawyers at Attorneys for the Injured conduct prompt accident investigations
to determine fault and evaluate what type of compensation may be sought.
Physical evidence and witnesses are difficult to track down after the first
week, so prompt action is vital to the success of any case. When an insurance
company or corporation is involved, claim investigators will move very quickly
to obtain releases from victims who do not yet understand the extent of their
own injuries.
Regardless of whether you think you have a case, always contact a lawyer after a
serious accident – many victims have accepted what they interpret as an initial
payment for injury compensation, only to realize later that cashing the check
negated their ability to file a claim down the road. The experienced lawyers at
Attorneys for the Injured will work hard protect your rights – but we can
prepare the most effective claims when we are contacted as soon as possible
after the accident.
At Attorneys for the Injured, we work with a board-certified physician who can
assist you in understanding the full scope of your injuries and help with your
treatment plan. We also utilize the services of vocational counselors and
professional life care planners, who can provide additional recommendations for
post-injury care. Our attorneys will thoroughly review your situation and
explore all available options.
The mission of Attorneys for the Injured is to seek justice and fair
compensation for injured victims and their families. The combined strength of
our locations in Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Maryland and Frederick, Maryland
