Understanding Personal Injury Law

These cases arise when a person or business fails to act with reasonable care and another person suffers injury as a result. Personal injury attorneys represent accident victims and help them recover damages for medical bills lost wages and pain and suffering.

In the United States personal injury claims are governed by state tort law. Victims may pursue compensation through insurance claims or civil lawsuits. Lawyers investigate accidents gather medical records interview witnesses and negotiate with insurance companies. Because insurers often attempt to minimize payouts, legal representation can significantly improve the chances of obtaining fair compensation.

Serious injuries may lead to long term medical treatment disability or permanent changes in lifestyle. Lawyers help ensure compensation accounts for current and future medical costs rehabilitation and lost earning capacity.

Firm: Pelosi Injury Law

I am a New Jersey native, Massachusetts undergrad, and Nova Law School graduate.. Although many attorneys might primarily use this space to boast of all their successes, of which we are proud to have at Pelosi Injury Law, I would ask that you please take a look at client reviews and attorney endorsements as they speak louder than what I state about myself. Without doubt you will see how dedicated I am to representing injured men, women and children throughout Florida whether they were the victim of a car accident, slip/trip and fall, dog bite, or civil assault and battery.. While attorneys are very limited in what they can promise, what I absolutely guarantee is you the client will be treated with respect, your phone calls/Emails and questions will always be promptly answered the same day, and you will have an attorney that actually cares about you and your pain and suffering instead of looking at you as a case file or a number. I will never rest on the successes of past cases; I will continue to prove myself with each and every case and should you contact me, I will do the same for you, guaranteed.

Whenever someone asks me about the purpose of my practice, I respond with a simple word: hope. Now, I understand that hope probably isn’t the first word that comes to mind when you think of a lawyer, but for me, hope is involved in all that I do.. To help clients find success, I start by asking every single one of them the simple question, “How can I make life better for you?” I want to identify those issues causing them the most stress. By identifying these issues, I am equipped to understand and serve their specific needs. This is why our firm’s slogan is “Custom Solutions. Happy Clients.”. I start by listening to their stories in order to build an honest and empathetic relationship with them. It is only after accomplishing this that we create a custom plan to serve their individual needs. It is not a one-size-fits-all service we provide; building these relationships takes time, commitment, and a genuine understanding of each client’s situation. It is an investment, and it is what makes us different from other attorneys. Most importantly, our methods help us restore our clients’ lives through hard work, encouragement, and hope for the future. From the first day we started our firm, we have been intentional about the legal services and experiences we offer our clients, and we try to exemplify those aspects in everything we do.. Between the technology and resources, the personalities of our hard-working team, our honest and genuine methodology, and even our modern architecture and bright decor, we constantly work to ensure that our office exudes the hope we want clients to feel when they come to us for help. Throughout our combined 25 years of experience, our team has discovered that what we do is 60 percent legal guidance and 40 percent life guidance. We are so much more than just a group of lawyers operating a business. We are human beings who genuinely want to help others get their lives back.

Justice. It seems such a simple phrase, yet hidden underneath are complexities which humanity has debated since the time of Socrates. What does justice mean? By what moral codes do we define justice? Does justice even exist beyond the human imagination? Questions like these drove me while I was a student at New Mexico State University studying for my Philosophy degree. As a result of my studies, I became fascinated by the law as a form of applied justice. I knew then that my calling was to be an attorney.. After graduating from NMSU in 2006, I decided to attend law school at Western New England University. While there I had many opportunities to immerse myself in the practice of law. I was selected to be an extern for the Honorable Robert Field of the Housing Court, a court which had jurisdiction over all civil and criminal matters involving the use of residential property. I was also selected to be a student attorney in the Consumer Law Clinic, which allowed me to represent indigent clients who had been taken advantage of by businesses or landlords.. After I graduated law school in 2010, I decided I was sick of the cold weather in Massachusetts and moved back to sunny New Mexico. I took the NM Bar Exam that summer and was admitted to the New Mexico bar in September 2010.. In December 2011, I decided to become a prosecutor for the Third Judicial District Attorney’s Office, where I worked for about a year and a half. Thanks to my time at the District Attorney’s office, I learned how to handle to fast pace of the legal profession (my caseload comprised of an average of 150 active cases), how to construct a case to overcome a heavy burden of proof, and how to protect a case against the attacks of opposing counsel. While at the District Attorney’s office, I also had the opportunity to be part of the Magistrate Drug Court program, which is dedicated to providing treatment services for repeat DWI offenders. Being part of Drug Court was one of my favorite experiences of being a prosecutor because it allowed me the opportunity to see the law used as a source of rehabilitation and healing.. After several years focusing on primarily criminal matters, I decided to further expand my experience in civil law, so I accepted a position at a local civil firm. During this time I worked to refine my skills in the civil law realm. I handled a wide range of cases from probate of wills to property disputes to divorce and child custody issues.. When I decided to open my own firm, I was determined to my it the goal in every case is to provide my clients with the best possible representation and to obtain the best possible result at the most reasonable price possible. “Seek Justice” is the motto I live by, and I will fight tooth and nail to see justice is done.. If you have a legal matter for which you are seeking effective representation, call the Cardenas Law Firm.. Now accepting cases for:

Our firm has the luxury of being able to limit our practice to Plaintiff's personal injury work. We never represent corporations or insurance companies - only injured people. This allows us to be extremely familiar with the types of issues that are presented in personal injury cases - allegations of pre-existing injury, contributory negligence and problems of permanent injuries. It also allows us to spend less time re-inventing the wheel and researching the issues that come in in every case and more time focusing on the little things in your case that will have a big impact in the courtroom.
