Personal Injury Litigation Process, Northampton, PA
Get legal help for personal injury litigation and settlement from a Northampton County injury lawyer
Winegar, Wilhem, Glynn & Roemerma represents clients in personal injury settlement negotiations and litigation. When you are suffering from a serious injury through no fault of your own, legal remedies are available to help you receive compensation. Under negligence law, a person injured through another’s careless or wrongful action has a right to be made whole again—restored to his or her condition prior to injury (as much as possible).
Preparing injury cases
Drawing on medical and technical professionals’ expertise, our personal injury attorneys engage in thorough case preparation to identify responsible parties and hold them accountable. Private investigators, accident reconstructionists, traffic specialists, and medical professionals are just some of our resources who play a vital role in preparing cases.
We must establish the cause of injury and determine which laws apply, such as negligence or strict liability.
Negotiating a settlement with the insurance company
We prepare every case as though going to trial, which provides leverage and increases our chances of obtaining a fair personal inuury settlement in Northampton County at the negotiating table. In-depth knowledge of medical costs is necessary to calculate current and future rehabilitation, treatment, and long-term care. Our estimates must be sound in order to secure the compensation the client deserves. Our lawyers are familiar with insurance company strategies to delay, deny, or offer lowball compensation. We know what to expect and what comprises a fair settlement. If we are unable to recover sufficient damages during negotiations, mediation, or arbitration, we will pursue recovery through litigation.
Recovery of damages
Based on the type of case and circumstances surrounding the accident or injury, our lawyers use litigation to seek the following damages:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Future medical costs
- Rehabilitation expenses
- Travel expenses for medical treatment
- Hospitalization
- Loss of consortium
- Loss of enjoyment
- Lost future income
If the liable party demonstrated malicious or intentionally harmful behavior, our attorneys may decide to pursue punitive damages.
