In many cases where a person is injured it is caused by the conduct or negligence of another person or entity.  When an accident or injury is caused by careless or negligent conduct the legally responsible party is liable. Sometimes the careless or negligent person is completely at fault.  Other times, an accident or injury may be partially your own fault.  However, even where you might have contributed to the accident or injury yourself you may be entitled to compensation for your injury.  

In assessing a personal injury claim the attorneys at Harter & Schottland analyze issues of liability to determine who is legally at fault and how we might obtain compensation for you.  However, our attorneys also consider the extent of your injury, including lost income, permanent or temporary disability or disfigurement, loss of a normal life, emotional damages resulting from the injury or accident and other factors. The likelihood of winning compensation depends on many factors that we are experienced and skilled at identifying.
