Suffering from an injury due to the careless actions of another person can really throw your life off track. After your accident, you may be unable to pay your medical bills, return to work, or enjoy life in the same capacity as before. If your injuries left you unable to work or perform duties expected of you, your quality of life has been significantly diminished—and frankly, you should not have to bear that burden. If your life has been put on hold due to a personal injury caused by someone’s negligence or carelessness and the medical bills are piling up, contact an experienced attorney today.
A Columbia personal injury lawyer can help you take legal action to fight for the compensation you deserve. The legal process for accident claims can be a daunting path to face, so contacting a skilled attorney to successfully navigate these claims is an essential first step. A portion of your recovery is holding the parties responsible for your injury accountable. Our goal is to let you focus on your recovery while we fight for your compensation by holding people accountable for their negligence or carelessness.
Any incident that results in a personal injury may provide grounds to file a claim for damages if another party is responsible. Situations in which a local injury lawyer might prove useful include:
In these types of cases, proving the negligence of the allegedly responsible party carries a high burden of proof and may be very difficult. Many times, people who are hurt through no fault of their own will still have to prove that the responsible party owed a legal duty of care to the person who was injured and that there was a breach of that duty. Proving that a duty of care was owed and breached is just the start in proving negligence in personal injury claims. An experienced accident attorney in Columbia can take appropriate steps on your behalf and gather the evidence needed to pursue your claims.
In addition, we place a heavy focus on workers’ compensation claims for injuries that occurred at work.
We offer free consultations to discuss the ins and outs of your case. If we take your case at the Law Office of Chris Miller, we do not get paid until you get paid! After your free consultation, our representation is done by contingency, which means that we are paid by a percentage of the amount of money we recover on your behalf. This approach enables our clients to focus on their recovery instead of costly attorney fees.
Hiring a Columbia personal injury lawyer is vital for getting your life back on track after suffering from a personal injury. Having an attorney on your side allows you to focus on the most important part of your recovery—your physical health—while we focus on fighting for your financial compensation.
