Personal Injury Cases We Handle

 

At Cory S. Hancock, Attorney at Law, PLLC, we handle a wide range of personal injury cases. Our extensive experience and knowledge allow us to effectively represent clients in various types of claims, including:

​

• Car Accidents: Car accidents are among the most common causes of personal injury claims. Whether you were hit by a distracted driver, a drunk driver, or someone who was simply careless, we will fight to get you the compensation you need for medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.
   

• Truck Accidents: Accidents involving commercial trucks can be particularly devastating due to the size and weight of these vehicles. We understand the complexities of truck accident cases and will work diligently to hold the trucking companies and drivers accountable.
   

• Slip and Fall Accidents: Property owners have a responsibility to maintain safe premises. If you have been injured in a slip and fall accident due to a hazardous condition, we will pursue a premises liability claim to seek compensation for your injuries.
   

• Pedestrian Accidents: Pedestrians are vulnerable to serious injuries when struck by a vehicle. If you have been hit by a car while walking, jogging, or crossing the street, we will advocate for your rights and work to obtain the compensation you need for your recovery.
   

• Motorcycle Accidents: Motorcyclists are at a higher risk of injury in accidents due to their lack of protection. We understand the unique challenges of motorcycle accident cases and will fight to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries.
   

• Bicycle Accidents: Like pedestrians, cyclists are also at significant risk of injury when involved in collisions with motor vehicles. We are here to help you navigate the complexities of a bicycle accident claim.
   

• Dog Bites: Dog owners are responsible for the actions of their pets. If you have been bitten or attacked by a dog, we will work to hold the owner accountable and secure compensation for your medical expenses and other damages.
   

What You Should Do After Sustaining An Injury Due To Someone Else’s Negligence

​

If you have been injured due to someone else’s negligence, it is important to take certain steps to protect your rights and strengthen your personal injury claim:

​

• Seek Medical Attention: Your health and well-being are the top priority. Seek immediate medical attention, even if your injuries seem minor. A medical professional can properly document your injuries and provide necessary treatment.
   

• Document the Accident: Gather as much information as possible about the accident. Take photos of the scene, your injuries, and any property damage. If there were witnesses, obtain their contact information.
  ​

• Report the Incident: Depending on the type of accident, report it to the appropriate authorities. For example, report car accidents to the police and slip and fall accidents to the property owner or manager.
  ​

• Keep Records: Maintain detailed records of all medical treatments, expenses, and any communication related to the accident. This documentation will be crucial for your personal injury claim.
   

• Contact an Attorney: Consult with an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible. An attorney can provide valuable guidance, protect your rights, and help you navigate the legal process.
