Types of Claims Our Booneville, AR Personal Injury Attorneys Commonly Handle

With over 30 years of experience, our firm has handled virtually every type of case in personal injury law. That experience has allowed our team to build extensive skills in a wide range of cases, which we use to get our clients in Booneville the compensation they deserve. Whether you need help filing an insurance claim for a minor car accident or need to file a lawsuit against your healthcare provider, our personal injury lawyers can provide you with the legal support you need to win your case. The types of cases we commonly litigate in Booneville include, but are not limited to, the following claims:

Vehicle Accident Claims

Vehicle accidents are the most common claim our firm sees. However, we have extensive experience handling more than just car crash claims. We can also help if you are hit by a commercial vehicle, like a delivery truck or an Uber driver, which typically has much more complex rules for recovering compensation. Further, our team prides itself on representing motorcyclists in the area and fighting biases and unfair practices insurance companies use against riders. In other cases, we can explore how to recover compensation if injured as a pedestrian or while riding your bike.

Premises Liability Claims

Many other claims we handle are against property owners, usually involving slip and fall accidents. However, considering the area’s many outdoor activities and recreational businesses, these claims can arise in many other ways. Perhaps a business did not fix flooring it knew needed repair. Or, the proper supports for walkways and stairs were not provided. In any case, if you were injured on another’s property by a dangerous condition, we can determine who was responsible for it being there.

Medical Malpractice Claims

With the state of healthcare today, our team litigates countless medical malpractice claims. Sometimes, we will sue your doctor for failing to diagnose you for a condition that another similarly trained and experienced physician would have caught. Other times, we will file a claim against surgeons for an error during a routine procedure. What is most important is to identify any provider who might have contributed to your injuries.

Damages Our Team Can Help You Get in Your Booneville, AR Personal Injury Lawsuit

Most people’s primary concern after being injured is covering their damages. Fortunately, a lawsuit can help you cover numerous economic expenses and non-economic damages, which insurance usually does not pay for. Depending on the circumstances, the court might also punish the defendant and award you punitive damages. We can review your case and determine its value by assessing the following losses:

Economic Losses

Most damages in a personal injury case concern immediate economic losses. These typically involve medical costs, such as emergency room and hospital bills, specialized exams, and prescription medications. However, you can also claim any long-term medical costs your injuries will likely require. Thus, we can settle a case even if you need further medical care with accurate estimates of your future costs, like physical therapy and surgery bills.

Lost wages are often another major component of your economic damages. If you missed days at work, missed overtime opportunities, or suffered other material losses by remaining at home, you can claim it as lost income. Like your medical expenses, you can also claim future losses related to your work. For example, if your injuries force you into a new position at lower pay and with fewer opportunities for advancement, you should be compensated.

After assessing these primary losses, we will turn to your property damage. Not every personal injury victim has property damaged in their accident. However, we will also assess your out-of-pocket expenses, like transportation costs and getting childcare while dealing with your injuries, which most people do have.

Non-Economic Losses

The other portion of your damages will concern your non-economic losses, which you likely know as “pain and suffering.” These damages account for the physical and emotional changes your accident has caused you to undergo.

Most injury victims suffer some form of trauma following an accident. Some manifest it through anxiety and depression, while others have severe PTSD and physical pain that affects their family life and hobbies. These and many more types of emotional distress can be claimed as pain and suffering.

Punitive Damages

Some injuries are caused by conduct that can only be described as reckless or intentional, going way beyond the definition of ordinary negligence. For instance, car accidents caused by drunk driving or surgeons who leave an instrument in a patient. When the defendant’s behavior is proven malicious, reckless, or intentional, you will likely be awarded punitive damages under Ark. Code § 16-55-206. The reason is that these damages are intended to punish the person and discourage others from acting the same way in the future.
