When someone else’s actions or negligence results in accidents, injuries or even death, you don’t have to “just accept it.”
A catastrophic personal injury or wrongful death can’t be reversed. But you and your family may be entitled to financial compensation to help you manage medical bills, disability, pain and suffering, and lost wages. To see if you might be entitled to compensation, call a lawyer to evaluate your case.
At Ward and Smith, our personal injury lawyers have handled hundreds of cases where our clients have suffered serious harm, including traumatic brain injury (TBI), other types of head injury and paralysis.
Our attorneys have handled cases involving firearm deaths, spring break accidents, dog bites and other animal attacks, and more. From industrial accidents at work to gunshot wounds on a hunting trip gone wrong, our legal team has investigated a wide variety of injury and death cases.
Many times, we’ve discovered — and juries have agreed — that an “accident” wasn’t that accidental after all.
Even when it doesn’t lead to death, a serious injury can have severe impacts on you and your family. Some people are temporarily or permanently disabled, limiting their ability to work. Accident victims often must contend with high medical bills for treatment of the initial injury, and sometimes for ongoing medical care.
Families may be left without their provider. An injured or disabled victim may require extensive care — sometimes a lifetime of care — from family and friends, putting even more pressure on them.
Financial compensation for these kinds of accidents and wrongful deaths can’t undo the harm. But it can help individuals and their families deal with the aftermath. Compensation can pay for medical bills, replace lost wages and help pay for extra caregivers to take the burden off family.
Experienced attorneys
Ward and Smith’s personal injury lawyers take a team approach to helping our clients. That means an attorney is always just a phone call away. And those attorneys are supported by licensed paralegals and certified litigation technology specialists.
Our lawyers have the resources to fully investigate your case. Sometimes that means calling in experts to determine whether a shotgun was designed or manufactured in a way that makes it defective, sometimes that means digging through stacks of records and talking to witnesses.
If you or a loved one has been the victim of a serious injury, call a Ward and Smith attorney. We may be able to help.
