PERSONAL INJURY
If you have been injured in an accident and wish to know what your rights are you need to consult with an attorney. At Alison Grant, Attorney at Law we handle most types of Personal Injury cases such as:
- Automobile Accidents
- Wrongful Death
- Premises Liability
There is no consultation fee for these types of cases since they are taken on a contingency basis. The amount you may recover for these types of cases depend upon the nature of the injury, its duration, your out of pocket expenses, the residual effects of the injury, and the pain and suffering incurred.
Personal Injury cases are based upon Tort law. A Tort is a civil wrong or injury for which a court of law may provide a remedy through a lawsuit for damages (compensation). There are four elements to a Tort suit and they are:
- The existence of a legal duty owed by a person to another; and
- The breach of that duty; and
- The party breaching the duty being the proximate cause or cause in fact of damages suffered by the injured party; and
- Damages suffered by the injured party.
All four of these elements must be present to sustain a Tort action. Once the first three elements have been established, it becomes a matter of proving the extent of damages suffered.
Some common damages are:
- Medical Expenses
- Cost of Therapy
- Lost Wages
- Pain and Suffering
- Punitive
