Personal injury law involves obtaining fair compensation for individuals who have been injured as a result of the negligent or intentional conduct of another. Negligence is defined as doing something a reasonably careful person would not do or failing to do something that a reasonably careful person would do under the circumstances which proximately results in damages to a person. These damages usually include pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, medical expenses and wage loss.
If a negotiated settlement cannot be achieved after the discovery process, the case will be set for trial where liability and damages are ultimately determined by a jury.
If you have ever been involved in a motor vehicle accident, slipped or tripped over a hazard, contracted food poisoning, or been injured when a product you were using didn't work properly, these are just a few ways you may be a victim of personal injury. Laird Ozmon has been prosecuting personal injury cases on behalf of victims for over 30 years. Practicing personal injury law involves obtaining fair compensation for individuals who have been injured as a result of the negligent or intentional conduct of another.
What is negligence you might ask? It is doing something a reasonably careful person would not do or failing to do something that a reasonably careful person would do under the circumstances that results in damage to a person. Damages can include anything from pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, and emotional or mental anguish to medical expenses and lost wages.
While he is handling your case, Laird will always try to negotiate a fair settlement on your behalf. He has a track record of high dollar value settlements in personal injury cases (link to our “Case Studies” page that I think should be renamed to “Settlements/Verdicts”). However, if a negotiated settlement cannot be achieved, after the discovery process Laird will take your case to trial where he will fight to establish liability and recover the maximum award of damages from the jury.
