Automobile accidents

Wilson & Stephens recognize the individual tragedies behind these grim statistics.
Redressing wrongs for the survivors. Some might hesitate to redress a wrong caused by a negligent driver. They may believe that their claim is purely to be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses, and feel uncomfortable receiving compensation for a loved one’s injury or death.
We believe, and the courts have held, that you are owed compensation for your “pain and suffering,” mental anguish, loss of quality of life, and loss of relationships; as well as payment for car damage, medical bills and lost wages.
Rebuilding lives
An individual's permanent injury or fatality causes myriad problems for friends and family. The death or disability of a primary wage earner deprives children of the guidance of a beloved parent, delays or prevents a college education, and can provoke depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other psychiatric symptoms amongst survivors. The claim or trial that ensues to redress these losses is never simply about recouping financial loss. It is about rebuilding the lives of wives, husbands, children, parents, or friends.
