When You Should Call Us
Our law firm is comprised of an eclectic
team of personal injury attorneys
and support staff. Together, we can share our legal knowledge and insight into a
variety of different personal injury case types. What this means for our clients
is that we are capable of managing essentially any case that comes to our attention,
so clients do not need to look far and wide for legal counsel. Trust us to work on
your case, no matter its details and nuances, and know that it is in good hands.
Different personal injury cases we often manage at our firm include:
-
Car accidents:No one wants to deal with auto insurance companies after a crash. When you team up
with LaMarca Law Group, P.C., you won’t have to worry about insurance company tactics
and tricks. Our car accident lawyers know the best ways to approach and investigate
accident claims to give our clients a fair chance at making the maximum recovery possible.
-
Truck accidents:
The average truck accident results in catastrophic or life-changing injuries suffered
by people in the other vehicle. Massive trucks have so much weight and force behind
them that it is almost impossible for there to be a “minor” truck accident. As a
result, trucking companies and their insurers fight vigorously to make sure they
are not the ones to pay for the resulting damages, which could be significant and
exceed six figures.
-
Catastrophic injuries: We have intentionally focused the majority of our practice on catastrophic injury
cases, such as those that involve traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), spinal cord injuries,
amputations, etc. We know that the stakes are high in a catastrophic injury claim,
so we will not slow down for anything.
-
Nursing home abuse:
As unthinkable as it is, thousands of elders in nursing homes and assisted living
centers are harmed through abuse and neglect each year. We are here to amplify your
voice and that of your elderly loved ones if they were hurt in a nursing home. Such
abuse claims are about getting your family justice and compensation while also helping
protect others from suffering the same abuse.
-
Premises liability: When an accident happens on someone else’s property and due to a defect on that piece
of land, it could call for a premises liability lawsuit. For example, we can help
file claims for customers who were injured while shopping or people who got hurt
while visiting a neighbor’s house.
-
Product liability: Product manufacturers can be held financially liable for the harm that their defective
or unsafe products cause. Recent examples of dangerously defective products include
Takata airbags, Philips Respironics CPAP machines, Zantac off-the-counter medicine,
and more. We have the experience needed to file a claim against major corporations,
including Big Pharma companies.
-
Wrongful death claims: Losing a loved one is tragic, and it can be completely paralyzing for surviving family
members. Give yourself the time you need to grieve without losing your chances of
pursuing justice through a wrongful death claim by putting our law firm in charge
of it. Throughout the process, we will show you genuine compassion because we truly
care about you and your family.
-
Workers’ compensation:Injured workers often have nowhere to turn for help after a workplace accident because
their employers make things difficult for them. Do not let this happen to you. If
you got hurt at work, then come to our firm, and we can assist with your workers’
compensation claim from start to finish. The goal is to get you back on your feet
without draining your finances.
Calculating the Value of Your Injury Claim
Every personal injury claim has a “value” that needs to be calculated before it can
be filed. The value is the total of all the damages that are owed to you from the
liable party based on your losses, both financial and otherwise. We can work carefully
to calculate the full value of your case, so we do not leave even a dollar behind.
In some cases, our Sioux City personal injury attorneys can work with third-party
experts to better your case. For example, if you were hurt by a defective product,
then we can network with product engineers who can closely examine it for faults.
Together, we will do all we can to maximize the other party’s liability, which, in
turn, can maximize the value of your case.
Four common damages pursued in a personal injury claim include:
-
Medical costs: Whether you have thousands of medical bills backed up or hundreds of thousands, you
should not be the person who has to pay those costs yourself, not if your accident
was caused by someone else. When calculating the value of your claim, we will have
to consider medical costs you have already incurred and those that will come years
in the future.
-
Lost income:
Severe injuries might prevent you from returning to work for a while – or possibly
even permanently. Any income that you cannot earn due to your injury can be added
to the value of your claim. If your income potential has been reduced, too, then
future lost income can also be tabulated.
-
Permanent disability:
Hardships and complications caused by a permanent disability can also add to the
value of your personal injury claim, such as miscellaneous costs related to special
care and needs.
-
Pain and suffering:
Non-economic damage in a personal injury claim relates to intangible yet real losses
like physical pain, mental suffering, and emotional trauma, as well as the lessened
enjoyment of life overall. The pain and suffering damages we demand in your claim
could be even more significant than damages related to lost income and medical bills.
Iowa Personal Injury Statute of Limitations
After suffering an injury in an accident, Iowa law gives you two years to take legal
action against the party that hurt you. If the two-year statute of limitations expires
and you have not started a claim, then you will not be able to file one later. The
statute of limitations usually starts on the date of the accident, but it can also
start on the date that the injury becomes reasonably apparent, which could be a different
date. For example, if you suffered a heart complication due to taking unsafe medication,
then the statute of limitations would reasonably begin on the day that your heart
issues became apparent, not when you first took the prescription.
