Personal Injury

Walsh Law Firm represents victims and their families in recovering from personal injuries arising from auto accidents, truck accidents, slip and fall accidents, dog bites, and other kinds of personal injuries. The kinds of damages we seek for our clients tend to include medical expenses, wage loss, No-Fault benefits, and full compensation for their pain, suffering, and disability. We advocate for the full recovery of benefits and monies that are owed to victims of injury or wrongful death. And if we cannot get the best settlement possible we will take a case to civil court to obtain just compensation for the victim and their family members.

The personal injury attorney first tries to negotiate with the opposing party or their insurance company. If necessary, and if the attorney thinks you have a good chance of winning, the case may go to trial. The main concerns in a personal injury case are negligence and liability.

Before you can collect an award, your attorney will have to prove that the defendant is liable for the harm you or your family member suffered. To prove liability, the attorney must show that the injuries were caused by the negligence of the defendant. If there is a failure to exercise reasonable care to prevent injury or damage, then there may be negligence. In some cases, such as those involving defective products or a dog bite, there is strict liability under state law. Once liability or negligence has been established, the judge or the jury may award money to compensate for medical costs, lost wages, and lost future earnings, as well as for pain, suffering, and disability.

At the Walsh Law Firm, we understand that injury victims just "want their life back." We do our best to counsel clients beyond just the monetary aspects of their case, and seek to obtain maximum recovery.
