Here at Geraghty Stockman, we believe personal injury lawsuits are based upon the principal of paying for your mistakes.  It is only fair that if someone caused you injury, whether it was because of mistake, inadvertence, negligence or misconduct, they should be responsible for repairing the damages caused.  The exact type of damages can be something clients easily overlook, if not represented.  For example, clients may sometimes have a right to monetary compensation for lost wages, loss of consortium, scarring or even the inability to use a limb over time.  Our lawyers will fight vigorously on your behalf to make sure you are fully compensated for your entire loss.

If a loved one or a close personal friend of yours has passed away, then more than likely you have had some involvement in a probate or estate matter, whether there is a will or not.  Probate generally involves the handling of assets and liabilities of an individual who has passed away, allocating the payment of taxes or other incidental expenses as well as distributing the remainder of the individuals estate pursuant to a will or statute.  This can be a difficult time for all parties involved and is made substantially more so when there is evidence of wrongdoing.  The most common litigation in this area are individuals contesting a will.  These matters can involve:

For those of you who have lost a loved one, you understand how that loss can drastically effect your life.  Although death is a matter of life, it is never easy to comprehend all of the emotions when a loved one is taken from you because of someone else’s negligence or misconduct.  The loss of companionship, love and sometimes financial support is seemingly impossible to quantify.  While it is clear that no financial payment can ever make up for the loss of a loved one, having financial security can help to provide you the tools to move forward and bring a sense of closure to those left behind.

If you are faced with a sudden loss caused by another’s negligence or misconduct and need advice, please contact Geraghty Stockman.  We look forward to the opportunity to support you in your time of need and provide the guidance to move forward.
