Advising You About Policy Limits and Damages

Policy limits often dictate the amount you will eventually receive for compensation. Courts want to encourage negotiations and out of court settlements. We can ensure the insurance company is not acting in bad faith during negotiations.

You are entitled to general and special damages. General damages provide compensation for the pain and suffering the injury caused you. Special damages reimburse you for medical expenses, lost wages, and other economic injuries.

If you have suffered an injury at work, you cannot sue your employer directly. You are entitled to workers' compensation benefits. You may have both a workers' compensation claim and a personal injury claim (third-party). For example, if you were involved in a motor vehicle accident while working.

Wrongful Death

You may also be entitled to damages for the wrongful death of a loved one. Robert L. Hersh represents clients seeking general and special damages for the wrongful death of a family member.

We can advise you about the damages you are entitled to recover. Call or contact a personal injury lawyer at Robert L. Hersh to setup a free initial consultation.
