Have You Been Injured?

If you have suffered a personal injury in an accident of any kind, you may be eligible for compensation. Auto accidents injure thousands of people every week with neck whiplash, back injuries, broken bones and head injuries.

People who slip and fall on a faulty walking surface can break hips, legs, and knees. Far more personal injuries occur to people who do not know they are exposed to danger than to those who put themselves in danger, such as skiers and cyclists.

If you have suffered an injury due to someone else’s negligence, we can help you. We understand the meaning and cost of true negligence. Many people do not understand that just an injury crossing a street may mean negligence on the part of the city, a passing motorist, another pedestrian, even a dog on a leash.

Defective products injure people daily. A ladder that slips or a coffee pot that cracks and burns a hand, a bus with wet stairs – people who are injured in this fashion are entitled to compensation.

Chronic injuries such as a fall that causes ongoing back pain or a head injury that has lingering effects are sometimes hard to prove. That’s when you need a professional.

Here Is What You Should Do Next

It takes an expert to define the extent of damages in many cases. There is a large body of legal background on ‘pain and suffering’ for instance. While that concept is sometimes not applicable in auto accidents, it can be a large factor in other types of mishaps. We know how to maximize the definition of these intangible terms on a case-by-case basis.

Many personal injury cases have an element of split responsibility to them. The party you are suing may say that you were at fault. Our attorneys have dealt with many judgments that have included a factor of split responsibility; you are simply compensated base on the other party’s role.

Every potential client receives a free no obligation consultation at Habbas & Associates. We review the facts of your case with you, explain where the liability lies in the case and discuss how to pursue legal action.

Don’t let a question about your responsibility hold you back from pursuing compensation for an injury that was not wholly your fault. Our attorneys are familiar with these and thousands of other legal standards that apply to personal injury. If experienced representation is important to you, we can help.
