If a person is not careful the law describes them as being negligent. A person who drives too fast for existing conditions, a person who drives without paying attention to his or her driving, a person who drinks alcohol and operates a motor vehicle—these drivers are negligent. If the negligent driver hurts someone, the injured person can bring a claim for damages (compensation for the harm done to the injured person) against the negligent person.
In some states there is a requirement that a person suffer a permanent injury (an injury that lasts a lifetime) before he or she can recover from the person who injured them. In other states there is no requirement of a permanent injury; however, as a practical matter, juries do not award significant damages unless there has been a significant injury.
For many years, I have represented people who have suffered serious injuries because of the negligence of others. I have represented families in California, Georgia, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin in serious injury cases. I would welcome the opportunity of meeting with you, at a place most convenient for you, for a no-obligation discussion of your legal rights.
