Personal Injury

Personal Injury claims and lawsuits arise when people are injured by the negligent, careless or sometimes intentional acts of others. When an individual or a corporation is determined to be legally responsible for injuring someone else, that person or corporation is liable for the injury, and must pay the injured person "compensatory damages." Compensatory damages attempt to restore the injured person back to the position he or she was in before being injured. In some cases, although rare, punitive damages may also be awarded. Punitive damages are intended to punish wrongdoers and prevent them from harming others again.

The Personal Injury lawyers at The Law Firm of John S. Wallach, P.C. handle a variety of Personal Injury claims for our clients, including but not limited to those arising out of:
Automobile Accidents, Trucking Accidents, Motorcycle Accidents, Railroad Accidents, Head and Spinal Injuries, Electrical Injury, Wrongful Death, Tourist Injuries and Workers Compensation.

The Personal Injury lawyers at our firm understand that your immediate goals after suffering a Personal Injury are to see that your medical bills paid and covered, that you do not suffer financially from lost wages. Our clients face mounting medical expenses, lost wages, and loss of enjoyment of life. Our experienced attorneys will discuss your situation and go over the options available to you, as well as work with insurance companies and other parties involved in your case to make sure all your needs are handled quickly and appropriately.

When a Personal Injury has caused you or your loved one a permanent disabling injury, our goal is to provide our client with the funds necessary to make up for the inability to work, as well as funds necessary to pay for long term medical care needs. Members of the victim's immediate family often suffer as well, both financially and emotionally. In the event of a catastrophic injury or death, families feel as though the fabric of their lives has been suddenly ripped apart.

We always strive to ensure that the proceeds from any personal injury case will be used as intended, i.e. to provide our clients with the necessary health care, maintenance and support. In doing so, we utilize the services of physicians and other health care providers, vocational counselors, and professional life care planners.
