What Is the Benefit of Working with Will Ferguson?
Each case begins with a proper review of the events that led to a child’s injury by gathering various sources of information and evidence. This process enables us to identify every party liable for causing the injury and name them in your civil lawsuit. Knowing who is legally responsible for your child’s injury can be difficult without the experienced perspective of our Rio Rancho lawyers. Insurance companies and attorneys for the defendant will be quick to deny claims of fault and seek to shift blame elsewhere. We understand these tactics and how to side-step them in court to compel a party’s accountability for their wrongful acts. For example, we litigate child injury cases arising from different types of incidents where the following parties could be liable:
Child injury cases are won or lost long before stepping into the courtroom. Our clients benefit from the use of TrialMetrix, a mock courtroom we operate as a laboratory to prepare for every aspect of trial. Our lawyers can rehearse various trial procedures, including questioning witnesses and making arguments before the judge or jury. We use live practice juries and record these practice sessions to perfect our trial strategy for when it matters the most. Our investment in this facility gives our clients confidence in the intensity of our efforts and the direction taken to recover compensation in their case.
The Damages to Claim in a Child’s Injury Case
The compensation obtained in a Rio Rancho child injury case must provide the costs you’ve already incurred in addition to those that will exist in the future. We make sure the judge and jury understand all the damages that resulted (or will eventually result) from your child’s incident. Some examples of damages for which compensation is available in a case could include the following:
- Past and future medical care costs
- Rehabilitative or ongoing maintenance support
- In-home care and other costs of permanent disability (e.g., wheelchairs, equipment, and home modifications)
- Losses from diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent scarring or disfigurement
- Losses to enjoyment or quality of life
Our fierce and determined lawyers take the time to understand the dynamics of your family and how the damages from your child’s injury will impact them for years to come. With this perspective, we can create a vivid picture of these damages in court and persuade the jury to award maximum compensation.
