Personal Injury Lawsuits in Portland, ME
Serving the entire state of Maine.
The attorneys at Petruccelli, Martin & Haddow, LLP will discuss personal injury lawsuits in general, the litigation process and what to expect in the courtroom to better prepare clients for litigation.
We are prepared for your Personal Injury Case
Preparing for personal injury litigation is an exemplary skill the lawyers at Petruccelli, Martin & Haddow possess. From our initial consultation, we will put you in our capable hands and tell you exactly what to expect when filing a personal injury claim.
We understand that many injuries cause long-term pain and may keep you out of work for some time. And there are also those injuries which may not be obvious from the outside, such as the damage to reputation and embarrassment that libel and slander may incite.
What you will need when we Begin
Our personal injury lawyers in Portland will need to prove your injury or accident was caused by someone else's negligence or intentional conduct. To prove that, we will need to thoroughly investigate the nature of the claim, which may include reviewing medical and police reports, photos or videos of the scene or the injury, and witness and contact information for all those involved.
Personal Injury Settlements
We will team up with experts in the medical and financial fields to monitor how much damage your injury has caused you physically, emotionally, and financially. To accurately evaluate the amount of damages to which you may be entitled, it will be helpful to review any medical bills or related receipts reflecting medical care necessitated by your injury, pay stubs (if a lost wage claim is being asserted), and other documentation reflecting any other out-of-pocket losses caused by your injury such as property damage. Additionally, you can be awarded damages for pain and suffering.
We will determine, after review of your case, if alternative dispute resolution such as mediation or arbitration would be a better way to resolve your injury case. Our personal injury litigators are all skilled in alternative dispute resolution and have successfully settled many cases in less time than it would take for a lawsuit to ensue.
The process of a personal injury lawsuit need not be frightening. Our personal injury attorneys are well-known for their experience litigating claims of negligence and torts leading to injuries. We handle cases in Portland, as well as throughout Maine.
