Auto Accidents, Medical Malpractice, Wrongful Death, Negligence Claims
A personal injury case is any situation in which a person, company, or government causes injury to your body through no fault of your own. Examples are auto accidents caused by another driver, injury or death of a patient caused by the negligence of a health care professional, injury or death due to poor maintenance or negligence at a public facility, bodily injury due to mistreatment by a police officer or other official.
If you have been seriously injured because of someone's neglect or recklessness, you and your family are probably experiencing intense hardship. Financial problems from lost income, medical expenses, therapy and damaged property can be overwhelming. Not to mention pain and suffering!
At La Mondue Law Firm, personal injury cases are taken on contingency. You pay nothing for the first consultation. When the case is won or settled out of court, the firm gets a percentage, agreed upon ahead of time. Every settlement offer is presented to you for your decision to accept it or reject it. If any attorney asks you to sign a document giving them the right to settle without your consent, Don't Do It! At La Mondue Law Firm, we are interested in getting you the best outcome for your recovered health and financial compensation.

AUTO ACCIDENTS
Auto accidents where the other driver is at fault are the most common personal Injury cases. At the scene of the accident, never admit any guilt and don't say you are not injured. Soft tissue injury may show up days later. Do not make any statements or agreements with either insurance company without first speaking with an attorney. Make sure you get the contact information from the other driver and names and phone numbers of any witnesses, plus the police report. Pictures taken with your phone before the cars are moved can be helpful.
The La Mondue Law firm's first interest is in your health, making sure you can receive the medical care you need and that your medical costs are covered.
MEDICAL MALPRACTICE & WRONGFUL DEATH
Medical Malpractice occurs when treatment by a health care professional or medical facility causes injury or death to a patient and results from medical error, negligence or treatment that falls below the accepted standard of practice. The most important thing to do after the death of a loved one from suspected malpractice is to demand an autopsy immediately. They are required to perform it if asked by next of kin. It is very difficult to prove wrongful death without a documented cause of death.
Wrongful death can also occur from unsafe work conditions, faulty equipment at public places, or defective products. Family members can sue for lost wages and loss of companionship from the deceased, funeral expenses and punitive damages.
