After responsibility has been established, the lawyer will seek damages on the client's behalf. Monetary compensation can be sought for pain and suffering, lost wages, medical expenses, and other related costs.

What Types of Cases does Shawn McDermott Handle?

Shawn E. McDermott has experience handling a wide variety of cases related to personal injury and insurance disputes:

  • Auto accidents, motorcycle accidents, and truck accidents: A person may have a case if he or she was injured, or a loved one was killed, as a result of the reckless or negligent actions of a motorist.
  • Drunk driving accidents: Drunk drivers can cause the serious injury or death of others. If you have been injured or a loved one has been killed as a result of a driver who demonstrated negligence by driving under the influence of alcohol, you can pursue damages.
  • Slip and fall accidents: A dangerous accident can occur when the owner or manager of a property fails to keep it safe for visitors. Owners have the responsibility to maintain their property and to post warning signs alerting visitors to potential hazards. If a property owner is negligent, however, an unsuspecting person could, for example, slip on a wet floor and sustain a serious injury.
  • Traumatic brain injury: Because severe head injuries can have such far-reaching effects on a person's quality of life, they have been allotted their own special category of law. Brain injuries can be caused by vehicle accidents, other traumatic events, medical malpractice, and even medication use. If another person's negligence caused you or a loved one to suffer a traumatic brain injury, you may be able to pursue a personal injury case.
  • Wrongful death: A variety of situations can lead to the wrongful death of a loved one. A drunk driver, a fatigued trucker, or an act of negligence by an individual can cause the death of innocent people. If a loved one was killed as the result of another person's recklessness, you have the right to pursue damages.
