Our Tips for Filing a Personal Injury Claim
Remember, we offer free consultations; you don’t pay unless we win.

If you’ve been seriously injured because of someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to financial compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain, and more. Here’s what you need to do:

  • Get Medical Help Immediately: Even if you “feel okay,” internal injuries often go unnoticed.
  • Document Everything: Photos, witness names, and accident reports matter.
  • Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer Early: The insurance company is already working against you.
  • File Your Claim Before Evidence Disappears: Different states have different statutes of limitation.

What Could Your Personal Injury Case Be Worth?

No two injuries—and no two lives—are the same. That’s why we never use a cookie-cutter formula to value your case. At The Swanson Law Group, we dig deep. We investigate every detail, consult experts, and take the time to understand exactly how your injury has disrupted your health, your income, your relationships, and your future.

The compensation we pursue includes:

Economic Damages

These are the real, measurable financial losses you’ve suffered. We go after every dollar you’re owed for:

  • Emergency and long-term medical bills
  • Ambulance transportation and hospital care
  • Medications and rehabilitation
  • Lost wages and diminished earning potential
  • Future medical expenses and home modifications
  • Transportation and out-of-pocket costs

Non-Economic Damages

These damages are intended to compensate the victim for non-quantifiable losses; insurance companies often try to shortchange based on that fact. We make sure your compensation reflects the full emotional and human toll, including:

  • Physical pain and chronic discomfort
  • Emotional distress, anxiety, and depression
  • Loss of joy, hobbies, and quality of life
  • Strained relationships and loss of intimacy
  • Grief, frustration, and the mental impact of disability
