What if the accident was partially my fault?
You may still file a personal injury claim if you are partially at fault for the accident. Your compensation may be reduced based on your share of liability. Our team will work with you to secure the best possible outcome for you.
What if I want to sue my doctor? Would it also fall under this category?

How do I prove medical negligence?
