When you or a family member endures an injury or dies as the result of carelessness or irresponsibility, filing a lawsuit to receive damages is an option you may consider. Injury or death through a motor vehicle, bicycle, or pedestrian accident, denial of disability insurance, suffering a slip and fall accident, being assaulted, and/or having a product liability experience are examples of circumstances that may lead you to seek legal redress.

An experienced attorney such as Gregory Kotsonis is knowledgeable about the steps associated with coordinating a personal injury lawsuit. Typical personal injury litigation is resolved through an agreement between the participants, however achieving the outcome can be drawn out.

A personal injury and/or insurance claim is usually conducted on contingency, signifying payment for legal fees/costs are not made until the case is determined. Gregory will evaluate the monetary worth of harm sustained and demand the insurance company to make a rational payment offer. Upon analysis and after a complete examination, it will be determined if sufficient proof is evident to proceed with a claim.

The amount to be obtained can be tied to a variety of circumstances, including…

• is the injury permanent or short term
• loss of wages/earnings, decline of future earnings, and reduced earning ability
• the costs incurred, including medical bills and property damage
• mental and physical anguish
• physical impairments
