Personal injury law involves legal disputes that arise when one party suffers harm due to the negligence or wrongful conduct of another. 

Krivit Law is exclusively focused on advocating for people who have been injured in accidents caused by negligence. Our personal injury attorneys have extensive experience handling complex accident claims involving:

  • Car Accidents
  • Truck Accidents
  • Motorcycle Accidents
  • Bicycle Accidents
  • Pedestrian Accidents
  • Slip and Fall Accidents
  • Premises Liability
  • Product Liability
  • Oil Field Accidents
  • Traumatic Brain Injury
  • Spinal Cord Injury
  • Wrongful Death

We conduct a thorough assessment of your situation and legal needs. Our team then develops a personalized strategy tailored to achieve your specific goals and objectives.

We offer transparent fee structures and will discuss our billing practices upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid if you win your case. Fees are typically a percentage of the settlement or award. As a result, you will never pay any money upfront.

You can schedule a consultation with us by calling our office directly or filling out the contact form here. We offer free initial consultations to discuss your legal issues and determine how we can assist you.

You may have a case if you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence or intentional actions. Factors include proving the other party’s fault and that your injuries resulted from the incident. Schedule a consultation with us here and we can help assess your situation.

Seek medical attention right away, even if injuries seem minor. Document the scene if possible, gather contact information from witnesses, and report the incident to relevant authorities. Keep records of all medical treatments and expenses.

The time limit for filing a personal injury claim varies by jurisdiction and type of case. This period is known as the statute of limitations. It is important to consult with an attorney promptly to ensure your claim is filed within the appropriate time frame.

You may be able to recover compensation for various damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. In some cases, punitive damages may also be awarded.

While many personal injury cases are settled out of court, some may proceed to trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached. Your attorney will guide you through the process and represent your interests if your case goes to court.

The duration of a personal injury case can vary widely based on its complexity, the extent of injuries, and negotiations with insurance companies. Your attorney can provide an estimated timeline based on the specifics of your case.

Even if you were partially at fault, you might still be entitled to compensation. Many jurisdictions follow a comparative negligence system, where damages are apportioned based on the degree of fault.

Look for an attorney with experience in handling cases similar to yours, a track record of successful outcomes, and good client reviews. An initial consultation can help you gauge their expertise and approach to your case.
