The Law Firm of Flora Templeton Stuart has represented hundreds of dog bite victims in 27 years of legal
practice. These can be some of the most tragic injuries often resulting in permanent disfigurement and
scarring. Innocent children are frequently victims of a dangerous dog. The key to a dog bite case is to
prove that the dog owner was negligent and should have known the dog is dangerous.
The Law Firm of Flora Templeton Stuart represents persons who suffer damages
due to the negligence of another. We work hard to collect all the money our
clients deserve. Each case is different and the collection of damages is based
on many factors to include insurance coverage, the extent of your injury, and
the unique facts of your case.
We work hard to collect the damages our clients deserve, based on the many factors of each individual case,
we work hard to leave "no loose ends". Even after the case is settled we negotiate for our client's liens
with Medicare, Medicaid, Health Insurance or negotiate with the healthcare providers (doctors and hospitals)
to reduce bills so our clients will be made whole. In representing children, we set up trusts as well as college
funds for their future. In representing our clients, we also do everything we can to make sure they obtain medical
treatment with qualified physicians and hospitals. No fees, costs or expenses are collected unless our client recovers.

What should I do if I've been injured?
|
|
Many factors are involved in setting premises liability case. If you've been injured due to an unsafe
condition on someone's property, it's important to contact an attorney soon after your injury to discuss
your case in detail. An early investigation is important to the success of the case.

|
What kind of compensation can I expect for my injuries?
|
|
If you are injured because a property owner or a business establishment fails to provide a safe environment,
you have a right to bring a claim for your pain and suffering, medical expenses, and lost wages.
|
|
Pain and Suffering
|
|
Pain and suffering are real and measurable. The law and most insurance companies grade pain as severe, moderate,
slight or minimal, as well as periodic or chronic. Expected future pain can greatly increase a claim for damages.
Suffering can include depression, changes in lifestyle, anxiety, or even relationship troubles after an injury.
No dollar amount can erase pain and suffering, but you deserve compensation.
|
|
Compensatory Damages
|
|
You should receive compensation for all reasonable expenses you have paid as a result of the accident, as well as future
expenses. This includes medical bills (past and future), transportation, household help, help taking care of your family
members, future loss of income and cost of care.
|
|
Income
|
|
You should receive compensation for any loss of income you suffer as a result of your accident, as well as any future
income loss. Additionally, you should be compensated for a loss of earning capacity, such as a permanent disability
that restricts your competitiveness in the job market. Our firm is very skilled at recognizing the different types of
income losses.

|
Punitive Damages
|
|
In some cases with gross negligence or violations of the law, you may recover punitive damages against the wrong doer.
