Personal injury claims refer to civil cases in which a plaintiff (an injured party) sues another individual, company, or other entity for personal injury, property damage, lost wages, pain and suffering, or any other kind of loss or injury. To obtain compensation, a plaintiff must show that the defendant had a duty to act with care, that the defendant acted without due care or was otherwise negligent, and that as a result of the defendant's negligence, the plaintiff suffered an injury.
This area of law includes automobile accidents, wrongful death, medical malpractice claims, and product liability cases.
A person who suffers an injury as the result of someone else's negligence typically has up to one year to file a lawsuit. In most cases, failure to file suit within that period will foreclose the right to sue.
Mr. Oberman handles personal injury cases, and has extensive
experience representing those who have been injured as the result of another's negligence. Mr. Oberman, however, does not believe he is the best lawyer to handle all personal injury cases. If the case is so complicated as to be beyond the area of Mr. Oberman's knowledge and experience, he does not hesitate to work with another lawyer or even to refer the client to another lawyer if such action is in the client's best interest. Mr. Oberman's objective in personal injury cases is to ensure that each client obtains a complete, fair, and just resolution of their case. Because the facts, law, and circumstances of each case vary, it is important for persons in need of a lawyer to meet individually with counsel to obtain specific advice.
