Being injured due to the actions of someone else, whether negligent or intentional, can make you feel powerless and overwhelmed by all of the physical, mental, and financial complications you are left facing.

Attorney Charles Adler can help you secure compensation for your medical bills and other damages, and he only charges a fee if he succeeds in doing so.

Legal Representation for a Range of Personal Injury Cases

Negligence resulting in injury is possible in many different situations, and we have experience representing people who have been injured under a variety of circumstances, including:

• Motor vehicle accidents - Car crashes are a common cause of injuries to the head and brain, back and spinal cord, extremities, and internal organs, and we help victims recover compensation in cases of negligence related to drunk and distracted driving, driver fatigue, speeding, and other traffic violations. We also represent victims of truck and motorcycle accidents, which may be complicated by the severity of the injuries or the negligence of multiple parties.
• Premises liability cases - Injury victims of slip, trip, and fall accidents and other circumstances involving unsafe premises may have a claim for compensation from the owner of the property where the injuries occur.
• Dog attacks - Dog bites and other animal attacks can cause injuries ranging from lacerations and punctures, to blunt-force trauma, to dangerous infections. In many cases, the animal's owner is considered liable for these injuries.
• Construction site accidents - In addition to workers' compensation claims, we handle cases involving third-party negligence at construction sites and other workplaces that are best resolved through a personal injury lawsuit.
• Medical malpractice - Preventable errors by doctors and other health care providers, including surgical mistakes, incorrect prescriptions, and missed diagnoses, can lead to severe health complications for which a patient may be entitled to compensation.
• Nursing home neglect and abuse - When a nursing home resident suffers injuries or health deterioration due to substandard care or physical, emotional, or sexual assault, facility staff can be held responsible.

Available Damages From a Personal Injury Claim

Injury victims may be entitled to compensation for a variety of damages, with some cases being worth $1 million or more. We can help you document all relevant expenses and adverse effects of your injuries to determine the appropriate amount to pursue. Depending on the situation, this could include:

• Economic damages, including medical expenses, property damage, lost income, and decreased earning capacity.
• Noneconomic damages, including compensation for pain and suffering, mental distress, scarring and disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment and companionship.

Families of victims may also be entitled to compensation through a wrongful death lawsuit in a case involving fatal injuries.

Pursuing a Personal Injury Claim

If you or a loved one are injured under circumstances that may involve another party's negligence, you should act quickly to get the medical care you need and keep detailed records of the treatment received. It is also important to hire an attorney as soon as possible to assist with the ongoing process of gathering evidence and testimony to support a claim of negligence.

We will also represent you in any discussions and negotiations with insurance providers and the negligent party's legal representation. We can help you resolve disputes and fight for compensation that accounts for all of your damages. Often, we can achieve a fair outcome through a settlement, but we are also prepared to take your case to court and litigate on your behalf if necessary.
