How Much is Your Personal Injury Case Worth?

After an auto accident, you must take time to focus on recovery for yourself and your family.

If you or a loved one has been in a car accident, then you know it comes with a cost. Bills for medical care, follow-up appointments, and car repair add up and are compounded by money lost by missing work. But, according to South Carolina law, someone else may be legally obligated to pay these costs, especially if the car wreck was not your fault.

The Steinberg Law Firm is ready to put our whole team behind you to make sure you not only receive the guidance and support you need but also the compensation you deserve to pay your unexpected expenses.

Product manufacturers have a crucial responsibility toward their consumers. They must ensure the goods they produce and sell are safe for consumer use, and that they contain adequate warnings of any inherent dangers. Unfortunately, manufacturers and other parties in the distribution chain sometimes produce a dangerous or defective product that injures consumers. Fortunately, the law provides protection in defective product cases.

Dogs are one of the most common, and beloved, household companions in the United States, and most dog owners understand the responsibilities they need to take on when caring for their pets. However, in far too many situations, irresponsible or negligent dog owners fail to prevent their dogs from causing harm to others, potentially resulting in serious consequences. As a result, dog bite victims are often entitled to seek compensation for their resulting injuries and other losses.

A traumatic brain injury can suddenly and permanently change you or your loved one’s ability to live the lives you have built for yourselves. Brain injuries are often associated with physical trauma but may also result from undiagnosed infections or dangerous chemicals.

An injury to the head, brain or spine can be dramatically life-altering. Disability and death are not uncommon outcomes for these types of injuries. If you or a loved one suffered a head, brain or spine injury because of someone’s carelessness, our experienced South Carolina injury attorneys are ready to stand at your side. In an injury claim, you can pursue compensation for your injuries.

The medical profession is held to one of the highest standards of professional competency, and for a good reason: even a simple, otherwise harmless error on a doctor’s part can end up having profound, possibly life-threatening consequences for patients. As a result, medical malpractice laws are in place to ensure that doctors who allow their patients to suffer harm in any form as a result of carelessness or recklessness can be held accountable.

Although motorcyclists are more likely to be injured or killed in an accident than occupants of cars, they are often not the cause of the wreck.

A motorcycle accident can change your life through no fault of your own. Hiring a skilled motorcycle accident attorney who will compassionately fight for your best interests can help you rebuild your life and move toward recovery.

Filling a claim after a motorcycle accident has a statute of limitations. In South Carolina, all motorcycle personal injury claims must be filed within three years of the date of injury or death, so taking action quickly is important.

According to South Carolina’s premise liability laws, property owners must do their best to maintain a safe environment and prevent accidents and injuries on their property.

After a truck accident, you must take time to focus on recovery for yourself and your family.

Being involved in any type of automobile accident can be a horrible experience for all involved. But a crash caused by an 80,000-pound semi-truck is horrific and leads to serious damages and injury. The usual causes of accidents involving 18-wheelers or semi-trucks vary, but often they involve the truck driver being negligent or reckless.

The truck crash lawyers at the Steinberg Law Firm have handled many complicated cases.

We will start protecting your rights and start working on the case immediately. Large trucking companies and insurance companies have armies of lawyers on their side; you should have an experienced team working for your benefit so that you can receive the fair compensation you deserve.

After a crash with a semi-truck, there are many things that have to be done as quickly as possible to preserve evidence so that the cause of the crash can be recreated. With a serious big rig crash where one or more people have been seriously injured or killed, the trucking company will immediately send a team of investigators to the crash site in order to either gather evidence that will hurt you or even attempt to destroy or conceal evidence. Therefore, it is important that your team is on your side as quickly as possible.

Having the right workers’ compensation lawyers on your side fighting for the benefits you deserve will go a long way in keeping you and your family financially secure.

Workplace injuries, especially ones that cause lost wages, can be devastating to the working families of South Carolina. It is a scary proposition to face — not only are you dealing with pain every day, but you are also worried about where and when is the next paycheck going to come from and who is going to pay your medical bills, mortgage, and food for your family. But you do not have to worry.

The workers’ compensation lawyers at Steinberg Law Firm have handled thousands of workers’ compensation cases. Let us use our experience to help you through this troubling time.

We know that your world stops when you experience the sudden loss of a loved one.

The death of a loved one also can create a significant financial burden; surviving family members may be left with medical bills, funeral costs, and the loss of an income. In these cases, survivors may be able to file a wrongful death claim against the responsible party. No amount of money will replace a loved one, but it can help make finding a new normal easier.

The wrongful death attorneys at Steinberg Law Firm understand how hard this situation is and are committed to helping grieving families get the compensation and closure they deserve.
