After another party’s negligence causes an injury, you may be unsure of where to turn for the help you need. Attempting to handle your physical, financial, and emotional losses on your own can leave you with less compensation than you need to reach your most complete recovery. Consulting with a dedicated Oakland personal injury lawyer could be an important first step.
Attorney Scott R. Herndon has the legal insight, resources, and drive to help you successfully navigate the path forward. The outcome of your claim is important to your well-being, and we are ready to help you.
Every personal injury claim has its own specific set of circumstances that makes it unique. Many of these, however, fall into categories or arise from terrifying incidents like the following:
If someone else causes you to suffer a serious injury, the journey toward healing is legally and personally challenging. A trusted personal injury attorney in Oakland can handle the legal intricacies and tirelessly advocate for an optimal claim outcome on your behalf.
The losses you face in the aftermath of an incident resulting from someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or wrongdoing can be overwhelming. These legal damages are generally categorized as either economic or non-economic, and together, they outline how the incident has affected your life.
Economic losses, or damages, refer to those expenses you have already experienced or will likely experience moving forward. For example, following a serious accident, you may face ongoing health care needs, complications, and secondary health concerns. Often, expert medical opinions can accurately assess the extent of the medical care you will require.
A serious injury can also keep you away from work for a significant amount of time and directly affect your future earning potential.
Because we often connect our careers to our sense of self, related losses can also have a profound emotional effect. Non-economic losses are those that are more difficult to assign a value, but are sometimes even more challenging to conquer. These losses relate to the physical pain and emotional suffering you endure.
To demonstrate the extent of your non-economic losses in Oakland, we can draw on our vast resources and experience in providing legal support for personal injury cases. This likely means hiring professionals in related fields who persuasively demonstrate the severity and impact of your damages.
Accepting a settlement before we help outline the full extent of your losses is not in your best interest.
