The Law Offices of Mallon Snyder provides compassionate legal representation to injury victims, and we can help you navigate your personal injury claim while fighting for the compensation you need to recover and move forward.
Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle
Our lawyers can assist with a wide variety of situations where you may have been injured because of someone else's negligence, including:
- Car Accidents: Even a crash that seems to be relatively minor can result in significant injuries, such as whiplash, broken bones, or traumatic brain injuries. We will work to hold negligent drivers responsible for the injuries inflicted in collisions.
- Truck Accidents: Crashes involving large commercial vehicles can result in catastrophic injuries due to the size and weight of 18-wheelers. Common causes of truck crashes include driver fatigue, improper truck maintenance, and overloaded cargo. We can help you take steps to hold a trucking company or other parties liable for injuries you have suffered in a truck accident.
- Motorcycle Accidents: Motorcyclists are especially vulnerable to severe injuries in collisions, including fractures, spinal cord injuries, and road rash. Motorcycle accidents are often caused by drivers who fail to notice motorcyclists or yield the right-of-way. We will fight to help you recover compensation from a negligent driver who injured you in a motorcycle collision.
- Slip and Fall Accidents: In premises liability cases, property owners may be held liable for failing to maintain safe conditions. Common hazards that can lead to slip and fall injuries include wet floors, uneven surfaces, and poor lighting. These accidents can lead to injuries such as fractures, head injuries, and back injuries. We can help you hold a negligent property owner liable for these types of injuries.
- Other Injury Cases: We also provide representation in cases involving issues such as pedestrian and bicycle accidents, dog bites and animal attacks, medical malpractice, and wrongful death.
How The Law Offices of Mallon Snyder Can Help You Recover Compensation
Personal injury claims can be complex, and you will need skilled legal representation to achieve a favorable outcome to your case. At the Law Offices of Mallon Snyder, we understand the challenges you are facing after an injury, and we are ready to fight for the justice you deserve.
We will investigate the circumstances surrounding your injury, collecting crucial evidence such as accident reports, medical records, witness statements, and expert testimony to strengthen your case. We will work to establish liability and make sure the responsible parties are held accountable for the damages you have suffered. With our help, you can secure compensation that will address expenses related to medical treatment, income lost due to your injury, and physical and emotional pain and suffering.
We can also handle issues related to insurance claims. Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts, or they may even attempt to blame you for your own injuries so they can deny your claim. We will handle all communications and negotiations with insurance adjusters, ensuring they do not take advantage of you.
If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are fully prepared to take your case to court. Our attorneys have experience representing clients in trials, and we will present a compelling case to secure the compensation you deserve. Our goal is to make sure you will receive the maximum amount of compensation available so that you will be able to make a full recovery.
Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Cases
What Should I Do if I Have Been Injured? Should I Contact the Responsible Party, Their Insurance Company, or My Own Insurance Company?
You need to report motor vehicle accidents to your insurance company. Before you give a recorded statement, contact the Law Offices of Mallon Snyder to discuss the circumstances of your case. Our attorneys will explain the laws that affect you and the procedures that will be followed. Under no circumstances should you give a statement to the negligent party or their insurance company. The information given may be misquoted or taken out of context, and your statements could be used against you to deny your claim or reduce your chances of recovery.
You need to get the names, addresses, and phone numbers of each witness, including anyone who was in the area and was passing by. You also need to check the availability of footage from any cameras at the intersection and around the area where the incident occurred. These videos may be invaluable. Our lawyers can help you gather the evidence that will be needed during your claim.
If you are struggling with financial concerns following an accident or injury, our attorneys can help you determine your best options. We will assist you in filing a Personal Injury Protection (PIP) claim through your insurance company. In slip and fall cases, you may be covered by a property owner's insurance policy, and we can advise you on what other coverage may be available. Contact us to learn more about your legal options.
Receiving medical care as soon as possible after an accident or injury can be crucial. This will not only make sure you can take the proper steps to recover, but it will create medical records that can be used as evidence of the injuries you have suffered. If you call your doctor's office stating that you need immediate care, but they are unable to set an appointment, you can ask for the name of another doctor's office that may be able to see you. In most cases, someone will be available to fit you in within 48 hours.
You should take photographs of the accident scene and, if possible, the position of the vehicles before they are moved. In the event that you are unable to do this, you should take photographs of the involved vehicles before they are repaired. This can be done at the location to which they have been towed.
You also should immediately begin writing a diary documenting anything you experience after the accident, noting difficulties, pains, discomfort, and inability to work. Make sure to note whether you are unable to sleep or have to get up out of bed and/or take pain medications. When filing claims and addressing issues related to your injuries, several months may pass, making it more difficult to remember the details of how you have been affected.
- You should not attempt to contact the insurance company for the other driver or owner of the premises where you have been injured without first speaking to our attorneys.
- You should not discuss the circumstances of the accident or injury with any third-party witnesses other than asking for their version of events, because your statements may be misinterpreted.
- If you are contacted by an insurance company or an investigator, you can refer them to our office, and our attorneys will speak to them on your behalf. Do not give any statements without consulting with our attorneys.
