Data-Driven Personal Injury Attorneys

Personal injury law gives accident victims the right to seek compensation from those responsible for harming them. In many cases, scientific and financial data play a key role in proving liability and the victim’s resulting losses.

The skilled personal injury attorneys at Gideon Asen rely on their unmatched legal knowledge and extensive network of expert witnesses to build strong cases for clients. Contact us to discuss your legal claim with our experienced personal injury lawyers.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

The law allows injury victims to pursue claims under three legal theories. Together, these legal principles cover most injuries that one can suffer due to someone else’s actions.

Intentional Acts

Intentional acts can provide the basis for personal injury claims. For example, battery occurs when someone deliberately makes harmful or offensive contact with another person. Assault, road rage, and sexual assault are all intentional acts that can warrant a personal injury case.

Negligent Acts

Negligence covers unintentional acts that result in physical or emotional harm. To prove negligence, your personal injury lawyer must show that the other party owed you a duty of care and failed to meet it.

For example, all drivers have a legal duty to drive with reasonable consideration for the safety of other road users. When a driver engages in risky behaviors, such as texting while driving, they’re liable for any ensuing car accidents.

This legal doctrine applies to the following types of cases:

• Premises liability
• Slip and fall accidents
• Motor vehicle accidents
• Medical malpractice

It’s possible to have negligence claims against multiple parties.

For instance, suppose that you slip and fall in an office building. You might have a case against the building manager for failing to notice the puddle that caused your fall. You could also have a claim against the cleaning company that created the puddle when it spilled cleaning liquid on the floor.

Inherently Dangerous Acts

Some activities carry inherent risk. The law imposes strict liability on parties that engage in these activities. Manufacturers that release defective products are strictly liable for any resulting harm. Similarly, keepers of dangerous wild animals often bear strict liability for the injuries their animals cause.

Compensation Available in a Personal Injury Lawsuit

As part of a personal injury claim, you can seek compensation for any economic losses you’ve incurred, including the cost of medical treatment, therapy, and medication. Economic damages also encompass lost income.

You may also be eligible to pursue non-economic damages for the impacts of your injuries on your happiness and quality of life. Examples of non-economic losses include pain, mental anguish, and disfigurement.

How Our Knowledgeable Personal Injury Attorneys Can Help You

We’ll start by understanding exactly what happened. After we talk to you and review your medical records, we can begin formulating potential legal arguments.

Many personal injury cases start with insurance claims. Specifically, many types of accidents fall under the umbrella of liability insurance. For example, auto policies cover car accidents, while homeowners’ or business liability insurance might often cover slip and fall accidents.

We’ll present the evidence we collect to the at-fault party’s insurer. If they accept liability, we’ll work to negotiate a fair settlement. If they refuse, we’ll take your case to court and argue for a fair award before a judge and jury.
