This typically requires gathering evidence such as medical records, witness testimonies, expert opinions, and documentation of the incident and its consequences.

Can I pursue a legal claim for a brain or spinal injury if the incident occurred at a business?
Yes, you have a premises liability claim if your brain or spinal injury occurred on a business’s premises and it resulted from an unsafe condition. Business owners have a duty to maintain a safe environment for their customers. A lawyer experienced in premises liability cases can evaluate the circumstances, determine liability, and pursue compensation on your behalf. The team at Jorgensen, Brownell & Pepin, P.C. can help.
