Personal injury law involves physical and/or psychological damage done to a person through the negligence or unreasonably unsafe actions of another individual. A personal injury can occur in a number of circumstances: at work, while patronizing a business, in an automobile accident, during medical procedures, or when using a defective product.

Kimmel Carter handles various types of personal injury claims for clients, including those arising out of:

You may have a personal injury case if you can demonstrate both that someone is legally responsible for your injuries and that the damages you claim reflect the extent of your injury or loss. Successful claimants can receive compensatory damages, which can include compensation for:

  • medical care and related expenses
  • lost wages or earning impairment related to the injury
  • permanent physical disability or disfigurement
  • pain and suffering
  • emotional harm, such as stress, embarrassment, or depression
  • damaged property

A claimant has a number of options for resolving a personal injury claim. The claim can be filed in civil court in order to establish the liability of the other party through court judgment. Alternatively, the claim can be resolved before a lawsuit is even filed, through an informal settlement.
