Personal Injury (SUV Rollovers, etc).
The Practice Area of
personal injury law is fairly generic. It encompasses those
individuals injured or killed by serious accidents and the
negligence of others.
Those individuals victimized by accidents are entitled to
compensation. Such compensation would include a monetary payment
for pain and suffering, lost wages, and medical bills. Of course,
the payment takes into consideration past, present, and future.
Ryan and Associates will promise to maximize the level of
compensation to all clients. Based on twenty-five (25) years of
experience handling plaintiff personal injury matters
exclusively, our firm knows the true value of each claim.
We get paid on a constituency fee. Only at the end, when our
client gets compensation, do we get paid. The standard fee
arrangement is 33½% prior to a lawsuit being filed. Once a
lawsuit is filed, the fee increases to 40%. Of course, fee
arrangements are always subject to “negotiation”. Remember, no
recovery, no fee.

Industrial Injury at work
If you are injured on the job, benefits (both medical and
monetary) are available under workers’ compensation system.
Those benefits would include weekly or twice monthly payments,
vocational rehabilitation, a lump sum payment at the conclusion
of your claim and potential lifetime medical care.
Often you may be hurt on the job and someone other than your
employer or co-employee may be at fault. That scenario creates a
third party claim. The expertise of Ryan and Associates allow us
to make a determination regarding a potential third party claim.
Those claims may be due to defective products, faulty equipment,
traffic collisions, etc.
Whether it is a workers compensation claim, a third party
claim or a combination of both, don’t hesitate to contact Ryan
and Associates for a
free
consultation.
