Personal Injury

These days it seems like every attorney believes that he or she is capable of handling a personal injury case, even if they rarely do so and the focus of their practice is in other areas of the law. The fact is, significant experience in handling personal injury cases is critically important to obtaining a fair and reasonable settlement, or if that is impossible, a victory at trial.

The lawyers at Hoff Curtis have significant experience putting together a personal injury claim, presenting it for settlement negotiations, and if necessary, litigating and trying the case. Personal injury cases may range from auto collision, serious injuries or workers' comp to malpractice or wrongful death. Each case is unique and requires a skilled attorney who can investigate the claim thoroughly before proceeding.

Our attorneys know that there are many recurring issues that may arise and exactly how each one needs to be managed. Attorneys who handle personal injury cases on a regular basis have recent and relevant experience in knowing the value of the case. Individuals who attempt to settle cases on their own or use inexperienced lawyers may discover that they have settled their case for a value that is far below what a knowledgeable attorney could have obtained. Just as likely, they may make unreasonably high demands in settlement negotiations that prevent serious negotiations from ever beginning.
