Even if you do not live in Duluth or the surrounding area, we can partner with you.
Joint Workers’ Compensation And Negligence Claims
If you sustain an injury at work, you may be able to pursue additional compensation from a negligent third party, such as a release driver or a product manufacturer. In such a situation, preserving the evidence (such as the dangerous tool that caused the injury) is critical to success against the at-fault party. Usually, cooperation from the employer (who is legally entitled to be reimbursed for the benefits paid to the injured worker out of the proceeds of a successful third-party claim) is helpful, if not essential, in preserving necessary evidence to support the claim.
There are complicated rules regarding who can recover what amounts in a workers’ compensation and third-party case, and we are experts at navigating those minefields to obtain the best results for our clients. Contact us today for your free consultation.
Evaluating Whether To Pursue A Products Liability Case
Not every injury from a defective product is worth pursuing. User error, failure to heed instructions, or apparent warnings on the product can bar a claim. A competent products liability attorney at our law firm can explain whether your particular case should be pursued or abandoned.
Most product manufacturers aggressively defend against all defective product claims brought against them, so such claims can be costly and expensive to pursue. Expert engineering consultants are usually required, and they can charge thousands of dollars for their time and effort.
For this reason, defective product claims are frequently not worth pursuing without a serious injury. The claim arising from the harm must be significant in order to justify the expenditure for expert consultants. So, do not be surprised to learn that a serious injury is a necessary precondition to pursuing a defective product claim. Contact us today for your free consultation.
Strong Tirla Lawyers And Negotiators
The vast majority of personal injury cases are resolved out of court. However, if the insurance company knows that your lawyer will not take a case all the way to trial, it can affect the settlement offer. As a result, it is crucial to hire a firm that will stand with and fight for you.
Our lawyers at Falsani & Balmer strategically negotiate settlements for our clients. However, we are ready and willing to represent your best interests in court if necessary. We will proceed down the path that offers your claim the best chances of a successful recovery.
We also strongly advocate for clients if the insurer requests an “Independent” (Adverse) Medical Examination (IME/AME). Doctors employed by the insurance company can be biased and downplay the extent of your injuries. Our goal is to protect your claim and maximize your recovery by preparing you for these evaluations and making sure you are not taken advantage of. Contact us today for your free consultation.
File Your Claim Before The Statute Of Limitations Expires.
Every legal case has a time limit; if you wait too long to pursue a claim, you may be prevented from full and fair compensation on a technicality. Also, having us contact the insurance company immediately after the accident goes a long way to ensure they handle your claim in a timely manner.
Our lawyers will take time to discuss your case with you soon after the accident. Unless we evaluate your case, there is no way to know whether your injury is severe enough to warrant the time, stress, and risk of litigation. We are more than happy to answer your case questions to make sure everything is in order should your condition have serious or long-term consequences. Contact us today for your free consultation.
You Only Pay Us If We Recover Compensation
Falsani & Balmer generally accepts cases on a contingency basis meaning our payment is a percentage of the compensation obtained through a settlement or verdict. This ensures we are on the same team and can work together in order to maximize your recovery.
If we accept your case and it turns out your condition does not qualify for compensation or the insurance company avoids liability, no fees are owed.
We believe access to experienced legal representation should be available for everyone, regardless of financial circumstances. With Falsani & Balmer, clients stand on equal footing with insurance companies, with dedicated efforts to achieve a fair outcome for all. Contact us today for your free consultation.
