Here at Hoffman Law Firm, our experienced personal injury lawyers have built a respected reputation in the community we are so proud to serve. We work hard on behalf of our clients, fighting hard to see justice done.

The Right Personal Injury Attorney Adds Value To Your Case
Finding the right personal injury attorney is crucial. Be sure that they have extensive experience handling cases like yours, so that you can feel confident that your case is in the very best hands. Because your attorney will take care of every aspect of your case, from start to finish, hiring the right one will help maximize the compensation you receive.
Keep in mind that the insurance company is not on your side and will do all it can to avoid a payout. If the insurance company does not cooperate, having a skilled personal injury lawyer is more important than ever.

What are damages?
Damages are intended to provide financial compensation for the losses suffered in your accident. There are three main types:
- Economic damages: These can be quantified, including medical bills, lost wages, or replacement/repair of property.
- Non-economic damages: These are non-tangible, and often refer to pain and suffering, reputation damage, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and more.
- Punitive damages: While not as common as those listed above, these damages are paid by the defendant as punishment for their wrongdoing – and are typically awarded in instances of fraud, willful misconduct, and more.
