When a child pursues a personal injury case, it is technically the parents who must act as the “Plaintiffs” and bring the case.

If you will be unable to work in the future (or only able to work at a lesser extent), Mr. Quackenbush will pursue a “loss of future earning capacity” claim. As these types of damages are speculative and hard to predict, Mr. Quackenbush will most likely hire a “vocational rehabilitation” expert to evaluate you and your job and attempt to predict what type of work, if any, you’ll be able to do in the future. He may also hire an expert called an “economist” to try to quantify those damages and determine exactly how much money you will lose as a result of not being able to work (or not being able to work as much).

Mr. Quackenbush represents clients who have been injured in car, vehicle, and automobile crashes, wrecks and accidents. He also represents clients in their premises liability cases.

The premises liability case will generally be stronger if the crime occurs in a high crime area because it will be easy to argue that the business establishment should have known that security was needed.
