If you have suffered injuries because of another person’s neglect or reckless behavior, you could qualify for compensation by bringing a personal injury claim. These cases include car accidents, wrongful death, workplace injuries, and medical malpractice. The field of personal injury can be complicated as the injured party has one story while the other side may have a different version of events. It is important to consult with a legal representative to be sure your rights are being protected as you seek damages for your personal injuries.

What Kinds of Cases do Personal Injury Lawyers Handle?
A trusted personal injury law firm like Benjamin Durham Law Firm will handle many types of personal injury cases. Our firm has lawyers to help with almost any personal injury lawsuit, including motor vehicle accidents, pedestrian accidents, accidents involving distracted drivers, and more. Our focus is on giving the victims of such events the legal representation they deserve so the law is answered on their behalf.
If you’ve been injured in an accident, please first seek medical attention for your injuries. Then, as soon as you are able, you should talk with an accident lawyer who can help you decide whether you have a claim to bring against the at-fault party. Many times, another driver who causes an accident can seem helpful while at the scene of the incident but then turns into a fierce opponent when it is time to compensate you for the damages. When this happens, you can’t always trust an insurance company to pay the full bill. Our legal services in personal injury cases can help ensure you have the financial compensation you need for your injuries, so call us today.
How Can a Lawyer Help with Personal Injury Claims?
An attorney can be an incredibly important part of your team when seeking compensation for injuries sustained in an accident. Your lawyer will be able to help you communicate with the insurance company and negotiate to get a fair settlement. These companies are notorious for offering low, quick settlements, hoping you won’t realize how much your claim is worth. An attorney will advise you on what a reasonable offer is.
Your personal injury lawyer can also gather evidence to prove who is liable for the accident. Your lawyer can access surveillance footage, study police reports, speak with eyewitnesses, and hire professionals who recreate the accident to prove what really happened. Since proving that one party is at fault is a critical part of a personal injury claim, you should always proceed with proper legal representation on your side.
Finally, an experienced personal injury lawyer will help you gather evidence of your injuries to show what amount you are owed following your accident. This could include documentation of the diagnosis, medical bills, missed time at work, and other ways you were financially injured because of the accident. All of this takes time, so call today to get started.
What Compensation Can I Get for My Injuries?
It’s not really possible to give an estimate for how much money you can recover just through a simple internet search. Your personal injury attorney will be able to give you a more accurate assessment as to what compensation to expect. However, most successful personal injury claims result in the injured party recovering economic and non-economic damages for their injuries.
Economic damages
Economic damages are items that are easily calculated, such as medical expenses, hospital bills, physical therapy costs, ambulance charges, lost wages, and reduced income-earning ability.
Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages are items that are more difficult to put a price tag on, but they are still equally important in a personal injury lawsuit. These would include emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, disfigurement, and loss of companionship if your loved one died in the accident.

Should You Hire Our Personal Injury Attorneys?
When you’ve been injured because of another person’s recklessness, be it distracted driving or a trucking company that didn’t maintain their vehicle properly, you may feel worried about how you will pay for the high medical expenses that come from your injuries. This is even more worrisome if you are unable to work because of your injuries.
At Benjamin Durham Law Firm, we want you to know that you do not need to suffer alone at this difficult time. While we understand that no lawsuit will reverse time and make your injuries go away, we still feel that victims of negligence should pursue justice and get compensated for their injuries. It’s not about getting revenge but merely seeking help in paying for the expensive bills you would not have to pay if it were not for the other person’s poor decisions.
With our twenty years of helping clients recover damages, we know how to get the best results in personal injury matters. Please contact us today to schedule a free consultation and see how one of our talented and compassionate personal injury attorneys can help you at 385-342-4300.

Thank you Atty Durham and to your top notch team! My family and I are clients for life! God bless!
Danielle Petkovich is my first choice for a criminal defense attorney. She is smart, extremely capable, and friendly. She is great at keeping you informed on your case, the process, and what to expect. She makes you feel at ease, and you know you’re in good hands!! The other attorneys in the office have similar qualities and I wouldn’t hesitate to consult with any one of them in Danielle’s absence.
Highly recommend Ben! He helped me to get my felonies dropped down to misdemeanors and was very easy to communicate with. Most attorneys are in it for the money and don’t make you feel like they care but that was the opposite with Ben. He is very thoughtful and even checked up on me after I had my baby. He doesn’t judge you no matter how bad things may appear to be. He is very understanding and a man of his word. Made it so simple and easy all I had to do was show up to court and the rest was handled!
