You want a lawyer who will take the time to listen to your questions and concerns and who will devote the energy and resources necessary to help you get full and fair compensation for your losses.

We pursue the results our clients need through all types of serious injury claims involving serious and catastrophic loss, such as brain injury, broken bones, spinal cord injury, burns, paralysis and amputation or loss of limb. We also represent individuals and families in wrongful death claims.

When you hire us to represent you after a personal injury, we will begin with an exhaustive investigation of the facts and circumstances of your accident and injuries:

• We will take all necessary measures to gather the evidence we need to bring a compelling case on your behalf.
• We or an accident reconstruction specialist may travel to the scene of the accident .
• As needed, we will work closely with experts, including engineers and medical professionals, to develop the most effective arguments for your financial recovery.

If we are unable to settle your case for full and fair value, we are willing and able to protect your rights in court. We are first and foremost trial attorneys.

Harper & Peterson PLLC can competently help you prove these necessary elements and obtain justice for your loss. For a vehicle collision, to prove that an injury was a result of another person’s negligence we consider whether the other driver was speeding or breaking any laws, whether they were intoxicated, or doing any other activity that was risky. For a medical malpractice case, it must be shown that the standard of care was not met and by not meeting such a standard, the physician acted negligently. That negligent act resulted in your loved one’s ultimate passing. Slip and fall cases, we consider whether there were adequate warning of a slippery area or what duty a business or person had to prevent such a slip and fall.
