Personal injury

An area of law designed to compensate you for the negligence, recklessness, malpractice, or inaction of others. As the injured party, you may be entitled to receive damages for loss of income, pain and suffering, emotional distress, permanent disability, and other resulting injuries. Unfortunately, the current system does not make it easy to file a claim on your own behalf and expect to be dealt with fairly by the insurance companies. The reality is that you need an attorney, one with the knowledge and expertise to go head to head with the insurance companies. Lee & Fields have that ability. They will give you their honest and realistic opinion as to the worth of your claim and your probability of success.
