Personal Injury
Personal Injury
What is a Personal Injury Claim?
Typically, personal injury claims result from the negligence of another person. Typical sources of personal injury claims include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Automobile Accidents
- Truck Accidents
- Medical Malpractice
- Defective Product Claims
- Slip and Fall Claims
- Pedestrian Claims
The term “personal injury” encompasses a broad range of injuries. Some are minor, but some injuries can be catastrophic. Most catastrophic injuries involve severe damage to the brain or spine that is often permanent. These types of serious injuries can cause life-changing disabilities with long-term consequences. Many devastating injuries occur in car accidents or trucking accidents, but they can happen anywhere; at work, in a slip and fall accident, on a motorcycle, or in a bicycle accident.

Trust Administration
Trust Administration
Administering a Trust upon the death of the Settlor (one who created the Trust) is generally not as complicated or costly as going through probate, which is why trusts have become so popular. However, there are still steps that must be taken to administer the trust: assets of the trust must be appraised and inventoried, beneficiaries must be notified, issues can arise with regard to title of assets under the trust, etc. Hampton Legal Solutions can provide reasonably priced legal assistance to the trustee who needs help with administering the trust or understanding his/her fiduciary duties.
