When you are injured in an accident that was caused by the negligence of another person or entity, it can be overwhelming. Some injury accidents leave people facing permanently altered lives. You may be left reeling with your injuries as well as with mounting expenses. At the Law Offices of Craig L. Cook, our experienced personal injury attorney team strongly believes that people who have been injured because of the negligent actions of others deserve to receive fair compensation for their losses. Our personal injury attorneys advocate for our clients from the first meeting, working inside and outside of the courtroom in an effort to recover maximal damages on their behalf.
Personal Injury Attorney
The personal injury attorneys at the Law Offices of Craig L. Cook are highly compassionate advocates who fight for their clients. We represent our clients in a broad array of injury cases, and we leverage our collective experience, legal knowledge, and litigation skills to try to secure the most favorable resolutions in our clients’ cases.
Auto Accidents
Each year in Arkansas and Oklahoma, thousands of auto accidents occur. A majority of auto accidents are caused by the negligent actions of drivers. Even when a driver’s fault appears clear, insurance companies may attempt to dispute liability or try to extend settlement offers that are inadequate. Our personal injury attorney team understands the various tactics that insurance companies use and work to build strong cases that clearly demonstrate liability for our clients.
Truck Accidents
The physical forces released in accidents involving large trucks can be substantial. Big rigs may weigh as much as 80,000 pounds, and they are much more difficult to stop than smaller vehicles. Because of their huge sizes and high weights, trucks may cause catastrophic injuries and fatalities in accidents. Our personal injury attorneys work with injured victims to help them recover fair compensation for all of their losses.
Burn Injuries and Electrical Accidents
Burns from electrical accidents can cause permanent disfigurement and seriously disabling conditions. If your accident happened because of the negligence of the electric company or another third party, our team will thoroughly investigate your case to identify all of the parties that should be named as defendants to your lawsuit. This may help you recover the compensation that you need to cover your losses.
Medical Malpractice
When people receive medical care, they place their trust and their lives in the hands of the doctors and other medical staff. Unfortunately, thousands of people are seriously injured or killed each year because of medical malpractice. If your injury was caused by the negligence of a doctor, hospital, or other health care professional, our personal injury attorneys will work to hold the responsible parties accountable for their actions.
Nursing Home Negligence
If you believe that your loved one is suffering from abuse or neglect in a nursing home, it is important for you to act quickly. Our team of experienced personal injury attorneys will work with investigators and law enforcement personnel to uncover evidence of abuse or neglect. We are passionate about protecting the rights and safety of nursing home residents.
Product Liability
If you were injured while using a product in the manner in which it was intended to be used, you may have the basis to file a product liability claim. Our personal injury attorney team works to hold the designers, manufacturers, distributors, and others involved in bringing defective products to the market liable for the resulting injury.
Potential Damages We Fight to Recover
The damages available to you will depend on the circumstances of your personal injury case and the extent of your injuries. In injury cases, you might recover special damages and general damages. Special damages are all of your economic or pecuniary losses and may include the following:
- Past and future medical costs
- Past income losses
- Future income losses
- Property losses
General damages are losses that are more difficult to quantify and might include the following:
- Physical pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma
- Impairment of your physical or mental capacity
- Disfigurement
- Loss of consortium for spouses of victims
- Loss of the enjoyment of life
If the defendant’s actions in your case were particularly egregious, our personal injury attorney may be able to recover punitive damages. These are damages that are above your actual losses and are meant to deter others from engaging in similar conduct.
