Personal Injury

When an accident happens, the first concern is to deal with the physical aspects of the injury, such as broken bones, back and neck injuries, whiplash, closed head injuries, or concussions. As time passes, the full extent of the injuries comes into focus. The injured person may suffer from depression, chronic pain syndrome, post-concussive syndrome, or post-traumatic stress syndrome brought on by the injury or its aftermath. In some instances, a catastrophic injury, traumatic brain injury, or spinal cord injury may leave the accident victim with serious brain damage, paralysis, or paraplegia requiring significant ongoing and rehabilitative care.

Physical pain, however, is only part of the suffering caused by a serious injury. The emotional stress and fear of permanent disability, disfigurement, major life changes, the inability to work, and financial hardship that may result from an accident or injury only add to the distress of the injured person and his or her family.

If you have been injured through the carelessness, negligence, or fault of another, we may be able to help.

Wrongful Death

In addition to general personal injury cases, Richard Wern Lawyers also handles wrongful death claims. Wrongful death is a cause of action brought on behalf of the survivors of an individual who died as a result of the fault of another, such as in the case of a fatal car crash. The survivors may be able to recover for the loss of companionship of their spouse, parent, child, or the like, and may also receive compensation for the loss of that person's financial support, such as where a deceased parent will no longer be able to provide for his or her children.

Trust the skilled attorneys at Richard Wern Lawyers to vigorously pursue your personal injury or wrongful death case, look out for your rights, and fight for the compensation you deserve. Contact us today and put our experience to work for you.
