If you get hurt in a way you didn’t expect, knowing where to go for help can make all the difference. If you’ve been hurt because of someone else’s actions or carelessness, Longo Lawyers offers free consultations with a personal injury lawyer in Durham. After an accident we know you’re worried about your health, your ability to work and how you’re going to pay for all the bills piling up. We want to take one worry away by letting you talk to us for free and with no obligation.
Many people wait to call a lawyer because they think it will be too expensive or they’re not sure if they have a case worth pursuing. We believe everyone who’s been hurt should know what their legal rights are, especially when they’re dealing with the physical, emotional and financial effects of an accident. We’ll listen to your story, go over the details of what happened and explain how the law applies to your situation during your free consultation. You don’t have to hire us and this first meeting is free. We just want to give you the information you need to make the best decision for yourself and your family.
We’ve worked on many different types of injury claims in Durham and surrounding areas. We can help you if you were hurt in a car accident, a slip and fall accident at work or on someone’s property or because of negligence at a nursing home or daycare. We also help those with serious injuries such as brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and long term pain. We take the time to learn about the exact problems you’re having and how your injury has changed your life because every case is different. When children’s injuries result from negligence, families may face emotional and financial strain. Legal support helps pursue accountability and needed care. A lawyer can guide you through your options with sensitivity and clarity.
Accident benefits are a big part of many injury cases. You may be able to get benefits from your own insurance company if you were hurt in a car accident, even if you weren’t at fault. These benefits can help you pay for medical care, rehab and lost wages while you recover. Unfortunately it’s not always easy to get these benefits. Sometimes insurance companies will wait to pay you, deny your claim or pay you less than what you’re owed. We do everything we can to make sure you get all the benefits you’re entitled to under the law.
We also help families who have lost a loved one due to a wrongful death. One of the worst things someone can go through is losing someone because someone else was careless. Even though no legal claim can bring your loved one back, it can help pay for the funeral, lost wages and the emotional trauma your family has been through. We treat these cases with the care and respect they deserve and we give you time to grieve as we work to get you justice.
The effects can be even worse when a child gets hurt. Kids get hurt in many places, like childcare centres, playgrounds and sports injury accidents. Parents want to make sure their child can get the medical treatment, therapy and support they need now and as they get older. We believe fair pay should take into account the long term needs of your child and your family. Chronic pain following an accident can affect work, relationships, and quality of life. Legal advice may help you access long-term treatment and compensation. It’s important to document your symptoms and seek early support.
You may not expect injuries to happen, yet they can. Dog bites can hurt people physically and mentally, especially if the victim is young. Motorcycle accidents and accidents involving cyclists and pedestrians often cause serious injuries because these people don’t have enough protection. When a restaurant or bar serves too much alcohol and someone is hurt, they may be held liable. If a broken product hurts someone, they may need to file a product liability claim. We know how to handle these and many other kinds of cases.
Most of the time we at Longo Lawyers work on a “contingency fee” basis for personal injury matters. This means you don’t have to pay any legal fees unless we win you money. We believe this way removes financial barriers and allows everyone to get good legal help when they need it most.
