Personal Injury
Accidents happen. Unfortunately, when accidents happen, injuries, damages, and expenses also happen. Insurance companies, manufacturers, and other companies are unwavering and intimidating, but you can rest assured that you don’t have to fight for your rights alone.
The Potts Law Firm has extensive experience in personal injury cases, including automobile, bus, and trucking accidents. Our team will dedicate itself to your case, because we believe that responsible parties should be just that—responsible. We are uncompromising advocates for our clients. Our team will work to ensure that your voice is heard and your rights are protected.
Some areas you may wish to seek compensation for include:
• Lost property
• Medical expenses—past, current, and future
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of income
• Change in lifestyle or enjoyment of life
• Other distress—psychological, emotional, etc.
If another party is responsible for your injury, you have the right to seek damages for your suffering.
Personal injury cases involve injury that has resulted from another party’s negligence, intentional action, or liability.
Negligence is the most common basis for a personal injury claim. Negligence results from another party causing an accident or otherwise failing their duty to prevent an accident, thereby leading to injury. For example, if another driver fails to adhere to a speed limit or traffic sign, that driver is negligent. To prove a negligence case, you must prove three facts:
1. The other party was negligent.
2. Their negligence was the cause of the accident.
3. Their negligence resulted in your injury and damages.
Intentional actions involve another party purposely causing injury. Examples of intentional actions causing personal injury are assault and battery. When another party willfully causes harm, more than physical injury and damages are at stake. In such cases, there are emotional and psychological stresses involved, and, sometimes, both criminal and civil lawsuits.
Liability involves a faulty or defective product that causes injury. Product liability laws exist to protect the consumer from any injury or other adverse consequences to using a manufacturer’s product. In such cases, you must prove that the product was dangerous when used in the way the manufacturer intended. Liability cases can involve manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers. See our Product Liability page for more information on liability.
