Accident reconstruction expert

It is not uncommon for our attorneys to retain the services of an accident reconstruction expert in car accident personal injury cases. Recently were retained by the family of a woman seriously injured in a car crash. Unfortunately the client had no recollection of the accident. We immediately realized that this posed a significant obstacle in proving negligence on the part of other driver. We contacted and retained an expert who was able to determine that the other driver was speeding and thus our client had a valid case. We were only able to succeed on this matter because we were retained immediately after the accident and were therefore able to conduct a thorough and complete investigation.

Assault victims

Recently we have been retained by clients who have been the victims of assaults. Ordinarily these are difficult cases to prosecute. There are two main issues in an assault case, liability (who was at fault) and damages. If the client was truly victimized by an attacker, proving the defendant's liability may not be too difficult. However, although the client may have suffered serious injuries in the assault, the question remains as to how the defendant will be able to pay any judgment obtained against him. The problem with these cases usually centers around the defendant's lack of money to pay a judgment against him. After looking into the defendant's finances, we will be in a better position to decide if it is worth the effort to pursue a claim against him.
