Corporate Liability Claims
In many cases, seeking just compensation for a serious or fatal accident will involve filing a personal injury claim against a corporation. Corporations can be held liable for their workers’ negligence within the scope of their employment, for maintaining dangerous premises, and for selling dangerous and defective products.
Government Liability Claims
Government agencies can also be held liable for serious and fatal accidents in some cases. If you have a government liability claim, it will be important to have a skilled personal injury lawyer with relevant experience on your side.
Damages Our Law Firm Can Help You Seek to Recover
Regardless of the personal injury claim (or claims) you are eligible to file, you may be entitled to compensation for various present and future losses. While every personal injury case is unique, examples of the types of damages our law firm may be able to help you recover include:
Compensatory Damages
Compensatory damages are intended to help replace what you have lost (or what you will lose in the future). Common forms of compensatory damages in a personal injury claim include:
Medical Expenses
Our personal injury attorney can seek just compensation for all of your medical bills resulting from the accident. This includes all medical bills and medical expenses necessary to restore and maintain your well-being.
Other Out-of-Pocket Costs
Chadwick McGrady can also seek just compensation for your other out-of-pocket costs resulting from the accident, including expenses that insurance companies may initially refuse to cover.
Lost Wages
If you are unable to work due to a long-term disability or if you have lost a loved one, our personal injury attorney can seek compensation for your loss of earnings.
Pain, Suffering, and Emotional Distress
Beyond your financial costs, our personal injury attorney can seek additional compensation for your pain, suffering, and emotional distress.
Loss of Companionship, Consortium, and Enjoyment of Life
Chadwick McGrady can also seek additional compensation for your loss of companionship, consortium, and enjoyment of life, and other non-economic damages related to your personal injury claim.
Punitive Damages
Punitive damages are also available in some cases. While compensatory damages are intended to help make victims and their families whole by covering medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering, punitive damages are intended to punish at-fault parties for engaging in reckless behavior and taking unreasonable risks, serving as a deterrent to prevent future negligence.
This list is not exhaustive. Other damages will also be available in some personal injury cases. Once you engage our Rifle personal injury lawyer for legal representation, our law firm will be able to provide a detailed and custom-tailored assessment of your potential settlement or verdict.
