Recent Review
"Before, the company doctors that they were taking me to go see—I felt like they didn’t really have my best interests, they were kind of guessing. But through Arnold & Itkin, I got to see specialists—people who were more in-depth than some of the other doctors and how they were treating me."

The Importance of
Personal Injury LawsuitsTrying injury lawsuits, also known as tort claims, are one of the most important functions of the civil courts today. The number of lawsuits that are filed on an annual basis is decreasing—which seems like a good thing to the casual observer. Fewer lawsuits should mean fewer people getting hurt. However, injuries due to negligence have not decreased at the same rate.
So the facts don't show that the world is becoming safer—they show that companies and insurance providers are making it more difficult to hold them accountable for the pain and misery they cause (either on accident or without care). Personal injury attorneys are increasingly becoming the only arm of the law that speaks on behalf of consumers and everyday people.
Whether we're facing an oil drilling company, a trucking company, or even an industrial employer, Arnold & Itkin understands that your case is a message: your life matters, your injuries matter, and we won't allow anyone to hurt you without facing the consequences.
Commonly Asked Questions About
Personal Injury Lawsuits-
What is a personal injury claim?
A personal injury claim (also called a tort) is a legal dispute between a plaintiff (the injured person) and the defendant (the person who directly or indirectly caused the injury). Personal injury claims seek to hold at-fault parties accountable for their negligence, or their reckless actions. The point of a claim is to get compensation (or reimbursement) for the financial and medical losses incurred.
-
Who pays personal injury compensation?
It depends on the type of defendant. For example, lawsuits against corporations are usually paid out by the corporation itself (unless the company had a relevant insurance claim). Individual defendants are usually paid by their insurance companies or out of their personal assets if they have enough to compensate your injuries. The other party’s insurance pays car accident claims.
-
How do personal injury cases work?
Once you’re ready to consider filing a claim, you can contact an attorney to find out if you have a case. Your attorney will investigate your injuries, what led to them, and how someone else’s negligence might have caused them. If there’s sufficient cause to file a lawsuit, they will file it for you and hire relevant specialists to strengthen your claim. Your attorney will attempt to negotiate a settlement, but if one isn’t offered, your lawyer will go to court and present your case.
-
If I sue my employer, will they fire me?
There are laws protecting you from what is called "retaliation." Essentially, when you file a claim against an employer, they cannot fire you for it, directly or indirectly. If you were fired or your hours were cut soon after filing your lawsuit, your employer may be in even worse trouble than they were at the start. You also don't have to worry about being blacklisted, which is also covered under retaliation laws. Your right to sue is well-protected, especially with us at the helm.
-
How do I know if I have a case?
Part of the job of an initial consultation is to help your lawyer determine if you have a valid claim. We'll ask questions regarding your injury, do some independent investigation of our own, and let you know if what happened to you fits the definition of negligence. If it does, you'll have a case. If it doesn't, we'll let you know--and you'll have some closure. In either case, the only way to know is to schedule a consultation appointment. Arnold & Itkin offers free consultations so you can get the answers you need.
