To whom it may concern I highly recommend the Johnson law group for any representation in an injury case. The attorneys were very helpful explained everything as needed. Guided me in the right direction and seeking medical attention immediately. Setting up therapy and rehabilitation. There’s not enough words to say how appreciative I am of the work they’ve done for me. Jennifer is very amazing at everything she does, and what she did for me, I feel as if I had not had any legal representation. The result of my case would’ve been different. I hope I never need to hire them again, but if it happens, they would be the first attorney I would call thank you guys so much for everything your hard work, your persistence and dedication you have, and what you do for people .

I got in an accident with a brand new car, and Johnson got the full cost of my auto repair covered as well as a fair settlement for the injury I sustained. Jenn handled my case. She was kind and communicative, advising me with only my long term health in mind. I’m a college student and had never worked with lawyers before, but Johnson Attorneys were patient and explained every part of the process to me clearly. I never signed, agreed to anything or moved forward in my case without having a crystal clear understanding of what was going on. All I can say is they did right by me and won at the end of the day. What more could you want?

As a motorcyclist, I experienced a negligent driver who didn’t see me coming. Luckily, I was referred to Attorney Johnson, who has extensive knowledge of motorcycle accident cases. He fought hard to secure me a fair settlement and showed great compassion by listening and understanding my concerns. Attorney Johnson treated me like family, not just a client.

I couldn’t be happier with the way my case was handled and the results that came with it. Jennifer was the point person for my case and I never longed for an update. She was always available for any of my questions and reached out whenever there was news.

What Is Personal Injury Law?
Personal injury law refers to legal disputes arising when an individual suffers harm from an accident or injury caused by someone else’s negligence. These cases often revolve around proving that another party’s carelessness directly caused the injury. If successful, the injured party can recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
Understanding the legal aspects of personal injury law, including statutes of limitations and legal principles like comparative negligence, is crucial when filing a claim.
Common Types of Personal Injury Cases
At Johnson Attorneys Group, we handle a wide range of personal injury cases. Here are the most common types of cases we work on:
Car Accidents
Car accidents are one of the most frequent causes of personal injury claims. You may be entitled to compensation if you’ve been involved in a car crash due to another driver’s negligence. Common causes of car accidents include behaviors like texting or talking on the phone while driving, speeding, drunk driving, and failing to follow traffic laws. Our team has extensive experience in handling car accident claims, ensuring that you receive the medical attention and financial support you need.
Truck Accidents
Due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles, truck accidents often lead to severe injuries or fatalities. Cases involving truck accidents are more complex because they may involve multiple liable parties, such as the truck driver, the trucking company, or even the manufacturer of the truck’s parts. These cases often arise from issues like truck driver fatigue, improper vehicle maintenance, overloading or improperly secured cargo, or violations of trucking regulations. They require knowledge of both state and federal trucking laws, which can complicate claims.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable on the road, as they lack the protective barriers that cars offer. In many cases, other drivers fail to see motorcyclists or misjudge their speed, leading to devastating accidents. If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident, we can help you pursue compensation for your injuries and any long-term impacts on your quality of life.
Common motorcycle accident injuries include:
- Road rash
- Broken bones
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries
Pedestrian Accidents
When a pedestrian is struck by a vehicle, the injuries can be catastrophic. Drivers are expected to yield the right of way to pedestrians, but when they fail to do so due to distracted driving, speeding, failing to yield at crosswalks, or driving under the influence, serious accidents can occur. If you or a loved one has been involved in a pedestrian accident, it’s essential to consult with an attorney who understands pedestrian laws and rights.
Bicycle Accidents
Bicyclists share the road with vehicles, but drivers often fail to give them the space and consideration they need. Bicycle accidents can result in severe injuries, such as head trauma, fractures, and internal injuries. These accidents are often caused by factors like a lack of bike lanes, poor road conditions, driver negligence or inattention, and aggressive driving behaviors. If you have been involved in a bicycle accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere on public property, in a store, or at someone’s home. Property owners have a legal obligation to maintain safe premises, and when they fail to address hazards such as wet floors, broken or uneven sidewalks, inadequate lighting, or debris on walkways, they may be held liable for any resulting injuries.
Dog Bites
Dog owners are held strictly liable for injuries caused by their pets. Even if a dog has no history of aggressive behavior, the owner can still be held responsible if their dog bites someone. Common injuries from dog bites include lacerations, puncture wounds, infections, scarring, and emotional trauma, particularly for children. Our legal team is experienced in handling dog bite cases, ensuring that victims receive proper compensation for medical treatment and psychological care.
Wrongful Death
The loss of a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is devastating. Wrongful death claims, often filed in cases of fatal car accidents, workplace accidents, or medical malpractice, allow certain family members to recover compensation for funeral and burial expenses, loss of future income and benefits, loss of companionship, and the pain and suffering experienced by the deceased prior to death.
Premises Liability
Premises liability cases involve injuries sustained on someone else’s property due to unsafe conditions. This could include everything from faulty staircases to swimming pool accidents. Property owners are legally required to keep their premises safe for visitors and tenants. If they fail to do so, they can be held accountable for any resulting injuries.
Examples of premises liability cases include:
- Swimming pool accidents
- Faulty construction or maintenance
- Negligent security leading to assaults
- Elevator and escalator accidents
The Legal Process for Personal Injury Claims
Filing a personal injury claim involves several key steps. It’s essential to understand the legal process and what to expect:
- Consultation with an Attorney: The first step is to consult with a personal injury attorney to evaluate the details of your case. At Johnson Attorneys Group, we offer free consultations to assess your situation and determine the best course of action.
- Investigation: Once you hire an attorney, they will conduct a thorough investigation to gather evidence, interview witnesses, and assess the extent of your injuries. This step is crucial for building a solid case.
- Negotiation with Insurance Companies: Many personal injury cases are settled out of court. Your attorney will negotiate with the insurance company to secure a fair settlement that covers your medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
- Filing a Lawsuit: If a fair settlement cannot be reached, your attorney may file a lawsuit on your behalf. This step involves the formal submission of your claim to the court.
- Trial: If your case goes to trial, both sides will present their evidence, and a judge or jury will determine whether the defendant is liable for your injuries and how much compensation you should receive.
Statute of Limitations
The statute of limitations for personal injury cases generally is two years from the date of the injury. However, there are exceptions. For instance, claims against government entities must be filed within six months. Failing to file your claim within the appropriate time frame can result in losing your right to compensation.
