State Law Determines Which Claims Are Recognized
Claims such as negligent or intentional infliction of emotional distress, false imprisonment and negligent entrustment are recognized differently from state to state, with varying requirements. We will explain how your state treats your situation.
Evidence That Can Prove Your Claim
Strong cases are built on evidence gathered early. Depending on the facts, we work to obtain:
- Records of the conduct that caused the harm
- Employment, hiring and supervision records
- Witness statements
- Medical and counseling records
Who May Be Responsible
More than one party may share responsibility, which can increase the insurance coverage available. Potentially liable parties include:
- Individuals who caused the harm
- Employers and supervisors
- Vehicle owners who entrusted a vehicle
- Businesses and professionals
What to Do Next
- Get medical care and follow your treatment plan
- Report the incident to the appropriate authority
- Preserve photos, documents and other evidence
- Write down what happened while it is fresh
- Avoid statements to insurers and social media posts
- Speak with an attorney about your options
Compensation You May Be Able to Recover
Depending on the facts and the law that applies, a claim may include:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain, suffering and emotional distress
- Rehabilitation, long-term care and home modification costs
- Property damage and other out-of-pocket losses
Why Acting Early Matters
Every state sets deadlines for filing injury claims, and claims involving government entities can require formal notice within a much shorter time. Video footage, records and physical evidence can be lost quickly. Speaking with an attorney early protects your options.
