Personal Injury

In any significant personal injury case, it is imperative that the injured person or his or her relatives quickly retain a high-quality plaintiff's attorney. Selecting an incompetent or unqualified lawyer can result in a low settlement of your case or an outright defeat in your lawsuit. Hiring a lawyer soon after the incident allows the lawyer to do everything necessary to investigate the accident before evidence is destroyed, witnesses disappear and memories fade.

Experience

Our Personal Injury practice focuses on all types of personal injuries including Wrongful Death, Motor Vehicle Accidents, Big Rig Accidents, Injuries from Prescription Drugs, Defective Products, Drunk Drivers, Dog Bites, Aircraft Accidents, Amusement Park Accidents, Recreational Accidents, Premises Liability, Electrical Accidents and Accidents resulting in Burns.  Additionally, our practice covers all legal services related to the personal injury law field. If you believe you have a personal injury claim, we invite you to contact an attorney with Wagner & Jones LLP about a potential claim.

We handle many different types of personal injury and wrongful death cases, including:

  • Auto, trucking, and motorcycle accidents: We have successfully obtained large verdicts and settlements for people injured in vehicular accidents or pedestrians who have been struck by a car, truck, bus or motorcycle.
  • Construction Site / Industrial Accidents. A worker injured on-the-job may have the right to bring a third party lawsuit against someone other than his employer if some other company somehow caused or partially caused the worker's injuries. This often occurs at construction sites or in industrial plants where more than one company is involved in a project.
  • Dangerous Property: Hidden conditions on either private or public property can result in a dangerous condition causing injury to a visitor or customer. Property owners have a legal duty to keep their property safe. We represent people injured on someone else's property due to the carelessness of the property owner.
  • Defective Products / Product Liability. Manufacturers who place dangerous or defective products into the marketplace can be held liable for any injuries those dangerous products cause to consumers. Manufacturers are required to make safe products or at least warn about the non-obvious dangers in using the product. We represent individuals who have been harmed by a product because of a hidden defect in the product or the manufacturer's failure to warn of potential dangers.
  • Nursing Home Neglect: Elderly people in nursing home facilities are ofte neglected due to understaffing, neglect, and unqualified care workers. These patients can suffer debilitating bedsores and other horrible conditions in the very facilities that are being paid to care for the person. These "elder abuse" injuries are actionable.
  • Catastrophic Injuries: We represent people who suffered catastrophic injuries which dramatically changed their life forever. Traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury are devastating and require the need for life-long medical care. Our lawyers seek life-long compensation for those who will need life-long care and who will likely never be able to work again.
  • Wrongful Death: When someone else acts carelessly or recklessly and causes the death of another person, we represent the decedent's family under these difficult circumstances in a wrongful death action. This type of lawsuit allows the family to at least recover compensation for the emotional and financial harm and grief the wrongdoer has caused that family due to the loss of a loved one.
