Personal Injury Attorney

When the law permits, an injured individual or business is entitled to hold the responsible parties accountable. It’s our role to evaluate the case and recommend a course of action. We have over 35 years of courtroom experience in developing all cases with attention to detail and confidentiality.

Personal Injury

The Law Office of David M. Kennedy, P.C. offers legal advice and investigation, development, and trial representation in Personal Injury law. Although most cases do involve or arise from vehicle accidents, the area of personal injury law is virtually unlimited in the cause that results in our clients being victims and entitled to justice through the legal process. Having a practice focused on personal injury law for more than 30 years, we know the laws that concern your particular case and can build off that knowledge in representing you.

Common Scenarios

Each and every case is different. Some of the common scenarios that lead to personal injury litigation are:

  • Premises liability (trip-and-falls as customers; workers on site; pet attacks visitor; landlord liability for defective flooring)
  • Fires/explosions/electrocutions (gas leaks at residence; workers injured on site or due to employer neglect; defective wiring; lack of safety precautions)
  • 18-wheeler/trucking (driver fatigue; inadequate hiring practices; poor truck maintenance; employer mandating safety violations)
  • Construction zone neglect by contractors or the State
  • Vehicle accidents (fatigue; texting; driving while impaired/drunk; gross violation of safety laws)
  • Animal attacks (mostly homeowners with vicious dogs, pit bulls, mastiffs)
  • Assault and Battery

Negligence or Intentional?

Personal Injury claims are the result of negligence or intentional acts. They may be acts or inactions, passive or aggressive. They may be committed by individuals, or perhaps a legal entity such as corporations or partnerships. There will usually be insurance (homeowner’s, auto, professional), but we are seeing more defendants go ‘bare’ and without any insurance, making recovery of damages something that must be evaluated at the beginning of the suit, not when judgment is obtained and after the expenditure of a great sum of money.

It is important to remember that a personal injury may be economic only, or in addition to what we commonly think of as physical, mental or emotional. We are prepared to thoroughly evaluate all possibilities for recovery, and to develop the case with retained expert assistance if needed. As each of our clients are unique, so are their injuries.

Examples

As an example, the stay-at-home mom who receives a broken leg due to defendant’s neglect is entitled to full compensation, but that compensation may be best measured by how it impairs her ability to care for her family during rehabilitation. The professional quarterback who receives the broken leg may have his compensation measured by how it shortens a very well-paying profession.  What is a small hand injury to an attorney is a very large hand injury to a surgeon.
