Choosing an Injury Lawyer
After you've suffered an injury in an accident
that was caused by someone else's negligence or misconduct, your list of
concerns is likely long. Finding a personal injury lawyer to represent your interests is often at the very bottom of the list.
It shouldn't be. Not only is it important that you
speak to a personal injury lawyer immediately after your accident, it's crucial
that you find the right personal injury lawyer. You need someone with the skill
and passion to fight for you and pursue justice and compensation.
When choosing a personal injury lawyer, you should
consider a number of factors, including:
- Experience
- Availability (you should be able to consistently communicate about your case)
- Comfort level with the injury lawyer
- The lawyer's openness and willingness to answer your questions
- A proven track record of success
The injury lawyer you choose is going to be
representing you at a difficult and painful period in your life. This is an
important decision.
We're confident that after you do the necessary
research and see the experience levels and skill sets of our personal injury
lawyers you will choose The Cochran Firm to fight for you.
If you've been hurt and you need an experienced
personal injury lawyer, please contact The Cochran Firm today for a free consultation.

What Compensation Can I Pursue in a Wrongful Death Case?
No wrongful death lawyer can promise you a specific monetary award, either as a result of a jury
verdict or settlement negotiations. Both the types of compensation you can
pursue and the specific amount of compensation you receive will be determined
by the unique circumstances of your case. Anyone who offers you a guarantee is
wrong.
However, the wrongful death lawyers at The Cochran
Firm have collective decades of experience with these cases. That means we
understand what makes a successful claim and it means we've seen the elements
of compensation that are common to most of those successful claims.
Our wrongful death lawyers will explain exactly
what you can expect from the process at your free initial consultation.
However, in most cases we can pursue compensation for:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Loss of future earnings
- Loss of companionship
- Pain and suffering
- Funeral expenses
At the Cochran Firm, we understand that no amount
of money will be able to make up for the devastating loss of your loved one.
However, this compensation can help you overcome the financial burdens that
this loss can place on your shoulders.
You should not have to suffer financially as a
result of someone else's negligence. You have enough to worry about after
losing a family member in an accident.
If you need a wrongful death lawyer to help you
pursue justice and compensation for the loss of your loved one, please contact The Cochran Firm today for a free consultation.
