PERSONAL INJURY OVERVIEW
Personal Injury Law is just that: law that is there to protect those who suffer a personal injury. This firm practices Personal Injury Law on the Plaintiff's side, meaning we do not represent the insurance companies that insure the person who does the injuring. This is important, because there are a lot of lawyers and firms that do both. At the Law Office of David M. Kennedy, our loyalties are not divided.
Wrongful Death and Survivorship claims are an integral part of the firm's practice. In very general terms, survivorship claims are those that survive the death of the injured person, and are brought by the heirs or estate. If your loved one died, David will be able to explain under what circumstances these damages can be recovered. Wrongful Death claims also belong to the heirs, and are based on the death of your loved one being wrongful, or untimely, and the fault of the potential defendant. David will also be able to explain the law as it applies to those claims.
Both Wrongful Death and Survivorship claims are part of personal injury law.
The Practice Areas below, and which are explained in more detail by clicking on those areas, are by no means the exclusive types of cases the firm handles. It does, however, constitute the majority of the firm's business, primarily because that is what we are asked to do by both clients and lawyers referring clients to us. In fact, Fraud, Assault, Negligence, Intentional acts, Bad Faith Insurance, Premises Liability, Legal Malpractice, even Criminal acts can fall under the umbrella of personal injury that the firm handles. Don't make the decision yourself. Let David decide whether you have a case, and the theory that applies.
But I don't like lawsuits? We hear that often. And at this firm, we recognize that it is most likely a very bad day when you decide you need a lawyer. But we also understand - and it is our obligation to make sure others understand - that you are the victim, and you didn't choose to have someone injure you. Let David counsel you in that regard.
Even if nothing is broke, you may have been injured and are entitled to have your day in court. The injuries our clients suffer range from physical to emotional, from broken bones to death. Additionally, personal injury law includes money damages, not only from lost wages or earning capacity you no longer have, but perhaps it is the contractual damages you have suffered because someone breaking a contract or interfering with your contract. Even if you are a defendant, you may likewise be able to counter-sue or make claims against others for your injuries. Let David help you make that decision.
