If you fell and hurt yourself on a neighbor's property as a result of his or her negligence, would you sue? Some people would shrug off their injuries, not wanting to disrupt cordial neighborly relations. However, not wanting to "rock the boat" may leave injured people drowning in medical bills and lost wages. The fact is that most people do not know the full extent of their injuries or how long they might last. Nor are they aware of how expensive medical treatment or the recuperation process might be. If you are seriously hurt due to the negligence of someone else, you are entitled to compensation for your injuries. That is why property owners purchase homeowner's insurance with liability coverage.

Even if you "win" an accident or injury case in court, the opposing party may not always pay you the amount of the judgment. You may have to take additional steps (and incur additional expenses) to collect the judgment. In most states, you will need to retain an attorney to assist you with your collection efforts. You can usually hire a collection attorney on an hourly basis, or pay the attorney a percentage of the amount collected. If you have a legal matter, call WEBBER LAW OFFICE, P.C. at 775- 5800. Our hours are weekdays 8:00 to 6:00. However, evening and weekend appointments are available.
