A SUMMARY OF AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS AND FALL-DOWN CASES:

Automobile accidents and fall-down cases are collectively known as personal injury cases. This is another area in which the firm of George & Joseph concentrates its practice. These types of cases are handled on a contingent fee basis. In other words, unless the client receives a monetary recovery there are no legal fees charged. Accordingly, if you believe that you have a valid claim, please feel free to give us a call.

Unfortunately, many people have given up their right to bring lawsuits in automobile accident cases because they have decided to purchase limited tort automobile insurance. Please refer to the LEGAL TIPS section of this Web site to read about limited tort automobile insurance and why you should not have that type of insurance. However, even if you do have limited tort automobile insurance, there still are certain exceptions that may permit you to bring a lawsuit against somebody that has injured you in an automobile accident. Again, this matter is more fully discussed in this Web site under the area titled LEGAL TIPS.

It is important to keep in mind that in any type of personal injury case you must have your injuries documented through competent medical treatment. In an automobile accident case, your own automobile insurance will pay your medical bills up to the limits of medical coverage that you have purchased. After that, those bills will be paid by your own healthcare carrier. It is not the responsibility of the person who caused the accident to pay your medical bills. The person who caused the accident is, however, responsible for paying pain and suffering damages to you.

Pain and suffering is a somewhat vague term that encompasses the kind of secondary problems that you have had as a result of the automobile accident. Some examples of these secondary problems are: frequent pain and discomfort, inability to engage in certain daily and routine activities and inconveniences that you have suffered. It is extremely important to consult with a law firm which concentrates its practice in personal injury claims so as to obtain appropriate legal advice on how to make a pain and suffering claim.

If you have been injured in an automobile accident or a fall-down accident, please do not hesitate to consult us by way of letter or telephone. Our staff will be happy to make an appointment for you for an initial consultation which will be free of charge. Remember, there is no fee in a personal injury case unless we obtain a monetary recovery for you.
