Personal injury cases include cases in which an individual is injured by another’s negligence. The most well known of these cases are auto accident and slip and fall cases. Some people consider these situations garden variety cases, taking on hundreds of them and treating them all alike. Because Coffey & Nichols limits its cases to those in which there is serious or permanent injury, none of our cases are garden variety. Coffey & Nichols understands that every case and every client is different. We have helped clients who were injured:
- in car and truck crashes
- by negligent drivers
- by drunk drivers
- by dangerous conditions of property
