Personal Injury

If you or a loved one has been injured or has been killed because of another person’s actions or, in some cases, failure to take action, you should consult with an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible. Whether your injury occurred in a car, on a boat, on someone else’s property, because of a defective product, or while you were working on the job, your injuries affect you personally, professionally, socially, and, perhaps most of all, financially.  The right personal injury lawyer can help abate the effects of injuries due to the actions or negligence of another.

If you have suffered this kind of injury, you may have the right to recover damages, including your medical bills and expenses, your lost wages, and damages for your loss of enjoyment of your life, or "pain and suffering". Depending on the permanence of your injuries you may require care and suffer damages for the rest of your life. Whatever the nature of your injuries, a skilled and experienced injury lawyer can evaluate your damages, both physically and financially, and can assure that your settlement is fair.  The personal injury team at DeMent Askew & Johnson includes a network of trusted advocates, medical professionals, and other experts to help ensure you fully recover all you have lost or may lose, personally and financially.
