If you or a loved one is injured in an accident, often you may be seeking compensation from an insurance company that covers the negligent parties. Always remember that insurance companies are businesses with shareholders who expect money to be saved not spent, and therefore their goal is to pay as little compensation as possible to personal injury claimants.

When you or a loved one has been injured on someone else’s property as a result of the property owner’s negligence, you may be able to seek compensation from their homeowner or renter’s insurance. Whether you are a guest in the home, an employee at the home, like a domestic worker, home health aide, or cleaning person, or a contractor performing services at the home, you may be entitled to compensation from the liability policy.

At GREENBERG LAW P.C. we know that each personal injury case is unique. No two plaintiffs are the same; neither are their injuries or the impact those injuries have on their lives We take pride in treating each client individually, based on their experience and needs.. Some of the more common personal injury lawsuits include:

Unlike at many personal injury firms, where only a select few attorneys have trial experience, all of the attorneys at Greenberg Law P.C. are established trial attorneys with court room experience before judges and juries. While going to trial may be one way to resolve a case for money compensation, most cases are resolved by settlement negotiation.

When you or a loved one is involved in an accident, time is of the essence. Medical bills can pile up and loss of income as a result of an injury can be financially devastating. While personal injury lawsuits do not take forever, they generally do take time and maybe lengthy.

An injury to you or your loved one can be a life-altering event. Whether injured at work, on the street or even in your own home, the damage it can cause may make normal life impossible. Therefore, it is essential to get the maximum compensation you and your family deserve as quickly as possible. Trying to negotiate with the negligent party or their insurance carrier typically leads to minimal compensation. Hiring a tough and experienced team of lawyers to handle your claim is the best way to aim for maximum recovery on the claim.
