Fighting For The Recovery You Deserve After Your Accident

When you are injured in an accident, you may not know where to turn for help. You may be dealing with property damage, lost wages and medical bills, all while trying to recover from a serious injury. A caring and knowledgeable personal injury attorney can explain your options and help guide you through the legal process.

At Azam Law Firm P.C., our founding attorney, Ahmad Azam, has been recognized for his outstanding work in personal injury litigation. He was invited to become a member of America’s Top 100 Personal Injury Attorneys in 2020. Membership is invitation-only and recognizes the nation’s most exceptional litigators for high-value personal injury, catastrophic injury, wrongful death, product liability and medical malpractice matters.

Understanding How Personal Injury Cases Work

When someone else’s negligence injures you, you have the right to bring a personal injury lawsuit against them. In most situations, you will be claiming compensation from their insurance company. The insurance company may even quickly offer you a settlement. Unfortunately, that offer is often extremely low and designed to close your case before you can speak with an attorney and file a case in civil court.

When you work with Azam Law Firm P.C., we put your needs first. We take the time to explain all of your options so you can make an informed decision at every step of the process. We never assume you will settle your case. We carefully prepare every case as if it is going to trial. This allows us to negotiate on your behalf from a position of strength.

Common Personal Injury Accidents

Although personal injury cases can include a wide range of negligence claims, some of the common cases we see at our Stafford office include:

• Motor vehicle accidents – Car accidents may involve multiple cars, pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles or commercial vehicles.
• Slip-and-fall accidents – If you fall and injure yourself on someone else’s property due to a dangerous condition, you may have a premises liability claim.
• Accidents in a construction zone – Construction areas have many hazards and careless driving can increase the chances of a serious accident.
• Dog bites – Dog owners have a responsibility to control their pets and keep the public safe from them.

Although all of these situations require a slightly different legal approach, they can all result in serious injuries or even death. You deserve damages that account for your financial losses as well as your pain and suffering.

You can depend on Azam Law Firm P.C. to fight for the best outcome possible in your case. In addition, we handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you only pay us if we recover financial compensation for you.

What Are The Chances Of Winning A Personal Injury Lawsuit?

Every case is different. The odds of winning your case depend on the ability to prove that you were injured due to the negligent, reckless or intentional acts of another and that you have incurred financial losses as a result. Some cases are stronger than others. It usually takes an experienced attorney to determine whether a claim will likely succeed.

Evaluating A Personal Injury Settlement Offer

When an insurance company makes a settlement offer on a personal injury claim, how do you know if it is fair? You have to evaluate the offer based on:

• The economic losses you have incurred: These include past and future medical costs associated with your injuries, lost wages and lost future earnings capacity if your ability to work is affected, property damage (such as to your vehicle) and other out-of-pocket costs, such as home modifications or in-home nursing care.
• The noneconomic damages you have experienced: These include your physical pain and suffering from the injury and during the healing process, the emotional distress of the whole situation, any lingering effects of the injuries that have affected your ability to enjoy your life and the impact your injuries may have had on your relationship with your spouse and children.
• The apparent liability of the other party: If the other party’s liability is clear, you may be in a strong position to negotiate for more compensation. If you share some of the liability for the accident or liability is uncertain, that can affect your negotiating power.
• The financial limits of the other party: You may be limited to what the liable party’s insurance coverage allows unless they have significant resources of their own that can be used to satisfy a larger judgment.
• The odds of obtaining more at trial: Litigation is uncertain, so you always have to consider whether the offer is in line with awards in other, similar claims.

At Azam Law Firm P.C., our attorney can review a settlement offer and help you determine if it is reasonable for your situation.
