Common Personal Injuries

Personal injury law covers any situation where you were hurt because of someone else's careless or reckless actions. These cases often involve serious physical, emotional, and financial harm, and insurance companies that try to minimize payouts. We're here to make sure you're treated fairly.

Car Accidents

Car crashes can be life-changing, and insurance companies aren’t always on your side. I step in immediately to protect your rights, gather critical evidence, and negotiate aggressively with insurers. Whether it’s a rear end, T bone, or multi car pileup, I handle every detail to make sure you get the medical care, coverage, and financial recovery you deserve.

Truck Accidents

Accidents involving 18 wheelers or commercial trucks require immediate action and deep investigation. I take on the trucking companies and their legal teams, uncovering violations, fatigue, or faulty equipment. These are serious cases, and I pursue serious results to help cover major injuries, long term care, and financial hardship.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle riders face unique dangers and often get unfairly blamed for accidents. I know how to counter bias and fight for what’s fair. I build strong, evidence driven cases that highlight the full extent of your injuries and loss. My job is to ensure you're taken seriously and compensated fully for both physical injuries and the long term impact on your life.

Pedestrian Accidents

When a driver fails to yield or acts recklessly, pedestrians often suffer the worst of the impact. I fight for injured pedestrians by quickly securing evidence, dealing with insurers, and holding drivers accountable. You can expect a focused, aggressive pursuit of full compensation for your injuries, lost wages, and long term recovery needs.

Dog Bites

If you’re injured due to unsafe property conditions or an animal attack, you have legal rights. I hold property owners and pet owners responsible for failing to provide a safe environment. From medical costs to emotional trauma, I pursue every form of compensation available to make sure you’re not left footing the bill for someone else’s negligence.

Construction Accidents

Construction sites are full of hazards, and when safety is overlooked, workers and bystanders pay the price. I represent those injured on or near job sites whether from falls, equipment failure, or unsafe conditions. I navigate the complex liability issues and fight to recover full compensation for your medical costs, time off work, and future care.

Slip & Fall Accidents

A slip or trip on someone else’s property can lead to serious injuries, and often it’s due to poor maintenance or unsafe conditions. I move quickly to investigate the scene, document the hazard, and hold property owners accountable. From emergency care to long term recovery, I fight to get your medical bills, lost income, and pain fairly compensated.

the legal solutions

Not every personal injury case requires a lawyer.  However, if you attempt to negotiate directly with an insurance company, you may lack the negotiation leverage required to force a reasonable settlement.  Having Ryan in your corner means there will be "teeth" behind your demand for compensation.  Personal injury claims can be incredibly complex.  Ryan can help you navigate the process and secure the compensation you deserve.
‍
There is no such thing as a fixed price associated with a given injury.  Each case is unique and the value of your claim depends on a number of factors, such as the nature of your injuries, the amount of available insurance, and the percentage of fault.  Other factors can include:

Severity of injuries

The severity of your injuries is one of the most critical aspects in determining the value of your claim.  The more severe the injuries, the greater the potential compensation you may receive.  Minor injuries, like sprains or bruises, may result in lower compensation than more severe injuries, like broken bones, spinal damage, or traumatic brain injuries.

Medical Treatment and Expenses

Insurance companies consider the cost of your medical treatment, including doctor visits, surgeries, medications, rehabilitation, and ongoing care.  Every medical expense related to the injury is added to your claim.  Make sure to keep track of all bills and medical records, as they will help substantiate the cost of your recovery.

Lost Income and Earning Capacity

Injuries that affect your ability to work or perform daily activities can increase the value of your claim.  If your injuries have led to a loss of income or future earning potential, this will be factored in.

Duration of Recovery

How long it takes to recover from your injuries can also affect the value of your claim.  The longer your recovery period, the more compensation you may be eligible for due to extended medical care and potentially lost wages.  Injuries that result in long-term or permanent disability will increase the overall value of your claim.

Emotional Distress and Pain and Suffering

Beyond the physical injuries, emotional distress is another factor in personal injury claims.  Experiencing trauma, anxiety, or depression as a result of the accident may qualify you for additional compensation.  Pain and suffering damages are subjective and can vary, but they play an important role in determining the total value of your claim.

Loss of Consortium

When an injury impacts your relationship with your spouse or partner, damages may be awarded for loss of companionship and support.

Punitive Damages

In rare cases where the opposing party's actions or inactions were particularly egregious or reckless, punitive damages may be awarded, intending to punish the opposing party and deter similar future conduct.

After being referred to Ryan for a medical malpractice issue, I felt supported from day one.
