We understand what it takes to hold negligent individuals accountable. Unfortunately, insurance companies and other parties will often do whatever they can to shift the blame onto injury victims in order to avoid paying out a settlement. Rod Smith Law PLLC can help you gather the evidence you need to form a strong legal strategy and move forward with confidence.
Getting clients the compensation they deserve
Different states can have specific personal injury laws. In some states, if the victim was at least 50 percent at fault for their injuries, they will not be entitled to any settlement.
In order to obtain the best possible outcome for your situation, you need to show where the fault lies. You need to be able to thoroughly prove that the other involved party was at-fault for the injuries you have suffered.
In your injury case, you must prove:
- The responsible party was expected not to injure the victim
- A lack or care resulted in the victim being injured
- It was for this reason and no other that the victim was injured
- The victim sustained injuries
It can be hard to collect this vital evidence on your own, which is why it is important to retain the assistance of an injury lawyer. With the help of experienced and tenacious attorneys on your side, you can build a case that helps you obtain what you need to make a full and speedy recovery. Our lawyers can look into the details of your personal injury claim to help you with your case.
