What is Personal Injury Law?
Personal injury is a branch of civil law designed to protect a victim from the consequences of another’s negligence. When an accident is caused by another party, the accident victim may be entitled to recover compensation from the responsible individual through a personal injury claim. In a successful personal injury lawsuit, the at-fault party compensates the victim for their losses and other damages associated with the accident in order to make the victim “whole” again.

- Premises liability or “slip and fall” accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Dangerous products
- Nursing home abuse and neglect
- Dog bites and attacks
- Wrongful death
Is Insurance Your Friend?
In most cases, an accident injury will be covered by some form of insurance. After all, we dutifully pay insurance premiums all our lives just for these moments. When we are involved in an accident or other emergency, we trust that insurance will protect us when we need it most.
The reality is that insurance, although necessary, is not a panacea. Large insurance companies are hugely profitable, and they don’t get this way by paying out large injury settlements. In fact, in most cases, the first settlement you are offered by the insurance company will probably only be a percentage of what you are legally entitled to. But they understand that injured parties have very little knowledge about what they are legally entitled to or experience fighting for a larger settlement.
When you have our skilled personal injury lawyers on your side, you have an advocate devoted to your outcome who will fight for the compensation you are entitled to. At The Rodd Firm, we hold negligent parties and large insurance companies accountable to ensure your maximum compensation.
After an Accident, What Can You Be Compensated For?
If you have been injured in an accident because of someone else’s negligent actions, you may be entitled to compensation for
- Your medical bills, emergency services, hospital bills, surgeries, doctor visits, prescription medication, specialized medical devices, and physical therapy
- Personal property that was damaged in the accident
- Lost wages if you are unable to work
- Potential lost earning capacity if you cannot return to your former job
- Any future medical costs that may result from your injuries
- Pain and suffering
And other costs as they may relate to your injuries.
