Suffering from broken bones and internal injuries not only causes a intense physical pain, but it can also cause them to suffer from some emotional and financial devastation. The injured person will likely be unable to do some of the things he could before, including going to work and earning a living (either for the short or long term).
While more minor cases of broken bones and internal injuries may require minimal medical treatment, what’s more common are moderate to severe cases that typically require some combination of:
- One or more invasive surgeries
- Pins, screws or plates being implanted in the injured person
- Use of a cast, boot or other medical device for weeks or months
- Intensive physical therapy to regain the strength and mobility of the injured area of the body
In the event that these injuries are caused by another person’s negligence or recklessness, the injured person:
- Will likely have a personal injury claim against the negligent party
- Can secure compensation for his or her injuries and losses by following through with a personal injury lawsuit
- Should consult with the trusted injury lawyers at Brown & Brown Attorneys at Law to learn more about their legal rights and entitlements.

Patient Testimonial
"I was in an automobile accident in May of 2019. It caused me catastrophic injuries, knowing that I needed an excellent lawyer my brother called the law office of Brown & Brown, Dan Brown came to the hospital himself to talk to me about my case and to let me know they had my back. He assigned Sean Hazlett to my case and I couldn't have asked for anyone better. He was very knowledgeable and patient to help explain things so I could understand them. They got me the settlement I deserved and in a timely manner. I would recommend anyone that needs a great injury and accident attorney to call them!!" - C.M.

FAQ
Do I Really Need an Injury Lawyer?
While some personal injuries can be settled amicably among all parties, many others require the skills and knowledge of a reputable personal injury lawyer. Injury cases can be complex, often with insurance companies offering less than victims deserve. With the right lawyer on your side, you can feel confident knowing they will advocate for you in and out of court.
What Type of Damages Can I Recover?
At Brown & Brown, we understand how financially taxing personal injury claims are. That’s why we work to help you recover as much compensation as possible. Some of the most common types of damages you can recover include:
- Lost wages.
- Medical expenses.
- Property damage.
- Pain and suffering, both physical and emotional.
- Possible punitive damages.
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim?
The time frame to file a claim depends on the statute of limitations in your state. It is important to work with a lawyer who can file your claim properly and help you avoid missing the deadline.
What Happens if I Am Partially Responsible?
In some states, you may still be eligible to receive compensation even if you are partially responsible. The total amount of compensation will depend on your percentage of fault in the incident.
Can I Negotiate With My Insurance Company?
Yes, you can try to negotiate a fair settlement on your own. However, since insurance adjusters work for the insurance company, they will try to settle the claim for less. A personal injury lawyer can advocate on your behalf and help you recover more than if you try to negotiate on your own.
How Long Does It Take to Settle My Case?
Every legal case is different, so the duration will depend on the evidence provided, the extent of injuries, and who was at fault. At Brown & Brown, we work diligently to help settle your case as quickly as possible.
Will I Have to Go to Court?
With an experienced personal injury lawyer on your case, many claims can be settled out of court. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached independently, we are ready to go to court and advocate for you.
Is My Case Strong Enough?
Every litigant’s case is unique, so the strength of your case depends on many factors. Our lawyers will review the evidence to determine liability. Then, we will provide you with an honest evaluation of your case.
How Can I Get Started?
The first step is scheduling a private consultation with us. We will review the details of your case and decide what the best course of action will be.
Client Testimonial
"I want to say how much the law firm of Brown & Brown has meant to me and my family. They’ve done so much and have been there in every situation that has occurred and we needed an attorney. My daughter and I were in an auto accident. After the accident, I was unable to drive because I was on medication. I needed someone to give me advice; they came to our house and got all the information that was needed. They put my mind at ease. I felt secure knowing they were going to take care of the situation and I didn’t have to do anything. I didn’t have to be concerned about the outcome. Brown & Brown were also there for me when I fell at work; I didn’t have to worry about any kind of bills. They are our family attorneys, we just have to pick up the phone – the number is on our refrigerator. We can always count on Brown & Brown."
