A person may only file a personal injury claim if he or she was hurt as a result of another parties' negligence or recklessness. Examples of this include being hit by a drunk driver or being sold a pharmaceutical drug with dangerous and unadvertised side-effects. Determining liability is simple in some instances, but complex in others.
For example, if you are hit by a truck driver while driving your car and sustain serious injuries, who do you sue? The truck driver, the trucking company, or the loading company? This depends on how the accident was caused. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you determine who was at fault for your accident by collecting evidence and enlisting trusted experts to testify in your case.

I’ve been in several accidents and I never had a Lawyer to break down everything to me the way Mrs. Ashley Traylar did!!! I was able to reach her every time I had a question about something she was there every step of the way!!! When I got my check back from my accident she explained everything to me what the hospital took out what was her fee, and how much the insurance company sent the check for!! A lot of Lawyers don’t go into details with you, but she broke everything down for me I was VERY Satisfied with my experience!!! If anything ever happens again to me are my family members we going
