Personal Injury LawPersonal Injury Law helps victims recover damages from injuries suffered from a range of mishaps on the road, in the workplace or during the course of everyday activities. In addition to pain and suffering, victims may also suffer emotional and financial injury resulting from the trauma of the event itself as well as the expense of medical treatment, not to mention the potential loss of income due to time missed from work.
For a victim to be eligible to receive damages, it must first be proven that the injury was a result of carelessness, negligence or recklessness on the part of another party. Oftentimes, the responsibility for a small injury can be agreed upon by those involved and compensation can be negotiated through insurance settlements and the like. However, when injuries are severe, compensation offered by the insurance company is often insufficient to cover the damages. You need experienced and knowledgeable attorneys to get you the recovery and compensation you deserve. Kearns Rotolo Law has extensive experience and success representing clients during insurance negotiation and in court to get fair and deserving compensation for claims relating to:
Most personal injury claims are subject to a statute of limitations and actions must be filed within that time period in order for a case to be heard in court. The guidance of experienced personal injury attorneys can help ensure that your case does not violate the appropriate statute of limitations.
