Personal Injury

Paperwork
As a client of Olin Lippiello LLP, we can help you complete medical, insurance and court forms. We will make sure you don’t miss deadlines. Recovering from an injury is enough to take on—let us keep track of the paperwork so you can focus on your recovery.

Compensation
We will fight for you to get the compensation you deserve. Wrongfully injured persons deserve to be paid back for their medical and property losses. They are also sometimes entitled to recovery of lost wages as well as compensation for their emotional pain and suffering. At Olin Lippiello LLP, we help injured clients recover compensation for all of their allowable losses.

Loss of Consortium

Negligence also affects family members. Spouses, children and parents of wrongfully injured persons may sometimes recover for what is called their “loss of consortium.” Simply, that means the family member may have lost the society, companionship and assistance of the injured person. In certain personal injury cases, we can help spouses, children and parents of recover the loss of consortium damages that they may also be due.

Punitive Damages

In the most egregious personal injury cases, compensating the injured party may not be enough. Where injuries are intentional, the law may force the defendant to pay additional—punitive—damages. Such damages are designed to punish the bad actor and deter it (and others) from engaging in similar conduct in the future. When we evaluate your situation, we will also consider whether it is an appropriate case to seek punitive damages.

Settlements
If it is in your best interest, we can try to negotiate a settlement so you don’t have to drag out the situation and relive a traumatic event in court. Once you sign a settlement, however, you agree not to pursue a case. In some cases you might feel pressured to accept a settlement while still in shock—protect yourself by having us review any offer you might receive to see if it proposes sufficient compensation for your case. If not, we will help you negotiate for more or, if necessary, take your case to trial. If you’ve been injured due to someone else recklessness or negligence, we can help you. Call us today at 413-203-0010. You’ve suffered enough due to someone else’s mistake—you shouldn’t have to pay for it too.
