What do I need to prove in order to have a case?

Car Accident/Negligence - When a person is injured in a car accident they generally have to prove that they were in fact injured due to someone’s else’s negligence or Recklessness. Negligence is defined as a breach of the standard of care that would be expected of a reasonable person using ordinary precaution under the same or similar circumstance. If you can prove Negligence or Recklessness then you must show Damages (Damages are injuries that the opposing party must be liable for). They are generally measured by the extent of the injures.  Damages include pain and suffering, lost wages, medical bills, and most out of pocket expenses associated with the negligence or recklessness.

We have helped clients with cases ranging from wrongful deaths, broken necks, neck and back injuries, broken ankles, to minor cuts and bruises.

Slip and Fall - We have helped many clients with cases in this area and are more than willing to work with you on this matter. Please call us for more information on how we can help.

Case we have handled that pertain to injuries that took place on business premises.

We have helped injured clients from slipping on wet floors, broken concrete, and trash left in dangerous places.  Slip and falls are becoming harder to prevail on as the insurance companies understands the burden that is placed on a Plaintiff’s Lawyer (Plaintiff’s Lawyer is attorney that is representing the injured party.  When the Insurance Company hires an attorney to represent the business or the insured they are commonly referred to as defense attorneys. People who are accused of crimes often hire Criminal Defense Lawyers).

Common Questions that arise

How much does it cost to have an attorney represent me in a personal injury matter?

Here, at the Glenn Law Firm, LLC, we understand that our client’s do not have same amount of money at their disposal as the insurance companies which is why we take cases on a contingency fee. Contingency fee means that the Law Firm will take part of the settlement/verdict. Generally, one-third if the case does not require the filing of a law suit. Attorney Fees are calculated before expenses. Expenses widely range but include court costs, costs for depositions, expert witness costs, and other costs that incur in order to get the case to the jury. Fees calculated before expenses.
