Integrity. Advocacy. Results.

Almost every second of every day across America, someone is suffering some sort of personal injury. It does not matter if they are driving in a car or at the workplace; accidents can happen anywhere and tend to happen when we least expect them. A lot of the time they result from an action that is no fault of your own, and when this happens, the personal injury lawyers at Ligget Law Group can help you to seek restitution.

"First experience in an accident where it wasn't my fault and I was pregnant. I was so tired and stressed and I gave in and went to Ted's office! Roger and Ted took care of everything including my back pain and chiropractic appointments and just in time for Christmas I was able to walk away with a fair settlement! Was in an accident shortly after and went straight back and I'm hoping this experience is as great as the first! Don't fight with insurance companies and hire Ted!"

Personal Injury Frequently Asked Questions

What Should I Do If I’m In An Accident?

It is not easy to think clearly after an accident, especially if you have been so badly injured you require hospitalization; not to mention the mental stress and shock you will be experiencing with all that is going on around you. As soon as you are able to, review these tips that may help win you a lawsuit if filing one becomes necessary.

At the scene, write down any information you can get on people that witnessed the accident. Names, phone numbers, addresses and license plates are the best type of information to get.
When you have a chance to clearly replay what happened in your mind, write down everything you can remember about the incident. It’s one time in your life you don’t want to rely on your memory to get things right.
If you are able to collect evidence that might help you in a personal injury claim, document it and preserve it the best you can.
Try to say as little as possible unless you are talking to police investigators or medical personnel at the scene.
If you are approached by the at-fault party’s legal or insurance representatives, refer all their questions to your legal counsel. The best way to avoid hurting your claim for compensation is to say nothing at all before consulting your attorney.

How Can A Personal Injury Lawyer Help?

Personal injury cases can be complicated. Victims shouldn’t have to worry about collecting evidence or filing any claims. By hiring a personal injury lawyer, victims can know their case is being taken care of, so they can focus on recovery. The personal injury lawyers at Liggett Law Group work on a contingency fee basis, meaning there is no upfront cost for working with us and you won’t use anything unless we help you recover compensation.

What Types Of Compensation Can I Receive?

After an accident, victims of negligence can pursue a number of different types of compensation. These include compensation for pain and suffering, medical expenses, funeral expenses, lost wages, lost earning capacity, loss of enjoyment of life, permanent disfigurement, punitive damages, and loss of consortium among others.

Personal Injury: Definition & Statistics

What is a personal injury? It is often described in legal terms as a negligent act by a person or business that causes injury to the body, mind, and/or emotions of another. In the legal system these are often called ‘tort’ cases.

Personal injuries can and do happen anytime and anywhere. Here are some statistical averages that were put together by the National Center for Health Statistics. Accidents in the U.S. result in 31 million people a year being hurt severely enough to have to see a medical professional. As a direct result of these injuries, an estimated 162,000 of these victims will lose their lives.

Most Prevalent Causes of Personal Injuries:

By far the number one cause is automobile accidents, which results in over 3 million injuries each year and 41,000 of these victims will succumb to their injuries; by comparison that is a far a bigger loss of life than America has suffered in the last two wars its fought.

Other leading causes of personal injuries are medical malpractice, which results in over 100,000 fatalities per year; construction accidents, which result in an average of 300,000 injuries and 1,000 fatalities a year; and truck accidents, which are responsible for over 60,000 injuries and 5,000 fatalities annually.

Many of the victims of these personal injury accidents were injured through no fault of their own. If another person or business acted negligently and that negligence caused your injuries, then you may have grounds to file a personal injury claim. As a victim, you may be entitled to be reimbursed for any medical expenses you have incurred, be compensated for lost time at work or future lost income, and to have your future financial situation taken care of if you have been injured or disabled so badly that you can no longer work.

If you have lost a loved one in an accident caused by negligence, you may also be entitled to make a claim against the responsible party through a wrongful death claim.
