What Can Johnson & Associates Do For You?

Our team of experienced attorneys can educate you on the legal process surrounding your injury recovery. We have the legal skills to answer your questions and the practical experience to help you through this. Additionally, we have experience in all aspects of motor vehicle accidents, including:

• Train accidents
• Motorcycle crashes
• Trucking accidents
• Pedestrian injuries

If you are the victim of negligence behind the wheel of a motor vehicle, you may deserve compensation. The problem is the insurance company – simply to save money at your expense – will likely deny you and delay you at every turn. They will try to discourage you.

We will make sure your voice is heard. We will advocate for you in negotiations with the insurance company and a courtroom, if necessary.

Prioritizing Your Recovery Efforts After A Car Crash

In our commitment to prioritizing your recovery efforts, we assist in finding the appropriate medical provider for your condition. We also arrange for the postponement of payment to medical professionals until after we have reached a legal resolution.

Navigating The Common Causes Of Automobile Accidents

In determining the root cause of a truck, motorcycle or car accident, our lawyers typically examine whether negligent, intentional or reckless conduct was involved.

When operating a vehicle, drivers are expected to exercise reasonable care given the circumstances. Several factors are considered when determining whether negligence led to the accident, including:

• Driving too fast or too slow
• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Driving without regard to road or weather conditions
• Disobeying traffic signs or signals

To prove intentional or reckless conduct, the driver must have exhibited both willful and wanton disregard for the likelihood that their driving could cause an accident. Products liability can also be a factor, for example, a defective part may ultimately cause an accident and subsequent injury to the consumer.

Damages You Can Pursue

After any car accident, you will need to pursue the insurance company for compensation, and a key part of that is proving that you have “damages.” Those damages, will be formed by a combination of three concepts:

• Economic damages: Medical bills, future care, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, property damage. These damages have no cap and must be compensated fully by the at-fault driver’s insurance company.
• Noneconomic damages: Pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of consortium. These are more challenging to calculate because the damages do not come with a bill. There is a cap on these damages.
• Punitive damages: In cases of extreme acts of negligence, such as drunk driving or criminally reckless behavior, additional damages can be applied by juries. As with noneconomic damages, there is a cap.

Understanding how much your case is “worth” is an in-depth calculation of the various damages you wish to pursue. We can work with you and answer all your questions about the potential for damages. However, in the end, the decision for how much you may see in an award will be with the court.
