What is the difference between personal injury and tort of battery?

admin — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 16:25:17 +0000

In Illinois, if somebody assaulted you, do you file a civil personal injury claim or civil battery claim? And if it is civil battery, under which law you file it? any details will be helpful.

Now, I’m a New York attorney so this is not for sure and I don’t Illinois law, but in NY your question would not make sense. Personal injury is a category of law that people practice. For example, a personal injury attorney may represent victims of car accidents, work accidents, anything involving bodily injury. Now, in order to sue for that injury, they must find a claim. Your example was battery. Battery is an act that causes personal injury, therefore, the claim would be for battery.

Furthermore, you need to find out if battery is still on the books in illinois. If it is, you proceed with your lawsuit by determining what the damages are. You cannot have any thing if you ahve no damages. They may be emotional damages, physical or financial damages. Then add that up. If it is over the amount allowed for you to use small claims, then you will need a lawyer to sue. If it is under te small claims amount you can represent yourself. You must bring proof that proves your case beyond a preponderance of the evidence in order to win.

neck injury settlements?

admin — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 16:25:12 +0000

So I was rear-ended a few weeks ago and I’m still having pain. I’ve gone to Urgent care and they gave me pain killers but I am still having symptoms. What should I do and what type of settlement is "reasonable" for these types of injuries?

In many states, you aren’t entitled to any pain and suffering for these types of injuries. Generally, it takes up to six weeks for them to fully resolve, but they DO resolve, with no treatment at all.

In states where you can sue, you’ll likely get medical bills, lost wages, and maybe $500 on top of that.

Bucks County Lawyer Shares a Recent Personal Injury Settlement

admin — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 15:59:08 +0000

http://www.pa-nj-injurylawyer.com/ Attorney Michael L. Saile Jr., of Saile & Saile LLP, shares a recent personal injury settlement his firm was able to help their client recover fair compensation. He explains more about the success of this settlement in this video clip.
Our Bucks County law firm recently helped an injured female victim receive a settlement she deserves. Our client fell down in a movie theater, hit a chair on her way down, and sustained horrible nerve damage to her lower spine. As a result of this fall, she was forced to walk using a walker.
The movie theater’s insurance company did not offer any money towards her damages. Our Bucks County personal injury lawyers got involved and filed a lawsuit. After three years and the case almost going to trial, we took this case before a mediator and received a six figure settlement for our client.
Hiring an experienced Pennsylvania personal injury lawyer ensures that your needs are the main focus, such as your doctor’s bills, medical condition, and your well being. Insurance companies are out to save as much money as they can, and you will need a lawyer to stand up to them and fight for you.
Thankfully, our client can now live a comfortable life and get the medical treatment she needs. You don’t have to do it alone. We can help get you the highest possible settlement. Contact the law firm of Saile & Saile LLP today regarding your personal injury claim at (800) 860-5801, or visit our website and get answers to your legal questions at http://www.pa-nj-injurylawyer.com/.
