Question 1

Why should I hire a personal injury attorney?

Accepted Answer

A personal injury attorney can conduct a thorough accident investigation, gather evidence like photos and witness statements, and determine the full value of your claim to ensure you seek appropriate compensation for all your damages.

Question 2

What damages are considered when valuing a personal injury claim?

Accepted Answer

The value of a claim is determined by the accident investigation findings and both economic (e.g., medical bills, lost income) and non-economic damages (e.g., pain and suffering, mental anguish).

Question 3

Can I file a wrongful death claim if a loved one passed away due to an accident?

Accepted Answer

Yes, state law dictates who can recover damages in a wrongful death claim. Qualifying claimants typically include the victim's spouse, minor children, parents, or executor. An experienced attorney can help navigate these claims while you focus on grieving.

Question 4

What types of accidents can lead to a personal injury claim?

Accepted Answer

Personal injury claims are generally based on whether an injury resulted from someone else's carelessness or negligence, rather than the specific type of accident. This can include auto accidents, slip and falls, dog bites, construction accidents, and medical malpractice, among others.

Question 5

How are personal injury cases handled financially?

Accepted Answer

Malchow Johnson Injury Lawyers works on a contingency fee basis. This means clients do not pay any out-of-pocket costs, and the firm only receives payment if they successfully resolve the client's claim.
