Every case is different, but legal compensation generally includes compensatory damages (for example, medical expenses and wage loss, loss of earning capacity, and so forth), as well as emotional distress (sometimes called “pain and suffering”). Some cases result in compensation for changes to your relationship (“loss of consortium”). Finally, your compensation may include legal fees, court fees, and it may range from thousands to millions of dollars. 

To determine what kind of compensation you may be eligible for, speak to an attorney at Magna Law Firm for a free consultation: (763) 438-3032.

A contingency fee is a payment structure that guarantees that you only pay your attorney after you have received money from your case; typically, it is a percentage of your financial award.

If you are unlawfully arrested, it’s crucial to take several steps to protect your rights:

• During the arrest, remain calm and do not resist arrest. This will only complicate your situation. If you are pulled over,tay calm, stay silent, and do not consent to a search of your vehicle. 
• Once you are safe, document everything you can remember, particularly any officers’ names, badge numbers, and any witnesses. Take note of the time of day and location; this can be crucial when collecting evidence and witness testimony.
• Seek medical attention as soon as possible if you believe you were injured during the arrest. Keep detailed records of your treatment, including all medical bills, and follow your medical care plan completely.
• Contact the civil rights attorneys at Magna Law Firm as soon as possible to discuss your case. Our team will help you understand your rights, file a complaint against the police department, and pursue a lawsuit if necessary. Our team will help you through the legal process, and work to ensure that you receive the compensation and justice you deserve.
• Do not discuss the incident on social media, or with anyone other than your attorney, to avoid jeopardizing your case.

If you believe your baby has sustained a birth injury, here are the steps to protect your child’s health—and your legal rights. 

• First, ensure your baby receives immediate and appropriate medical care to diagnose and treat the injury. Keep all medical evaluations, treatments, and communications with healthcare providers, as these will be critical to proving your case.
• Document any signs or symptoms you observe in your baby, including lethargy, crying spells, muscle spasms, or delayed growth milestones. 
• Contact a medical malpractice lawyer as soon as possible to file a medical malpractice lawsuit. An experienced attorney can review your case, gather evidence, and consult with medical experts to determine if negligence occurred during the birthing process. Call Magna Law Firm at (763) 438-3032 to begin your case.
• Avoid discussing the case with anyone other than your lawyer to protect the integrity of your claim. Never accept a settlement with your insurance company until you have spoken with a medical malpractice attorney.

Always get a medical evaluation as soon as possible after a motor vehicle or slip-and-fall incident. The sooner you receive a medical diagnosis, the better your prognosis for your recovery—and the stronger your personal injury case, should one be required.

Why is this important? Your first doctor’s visit will be used to make your personal injury claim by showing the damage done in the immediate aftermath of the accident. It also sets a benchmark for future medical visits to determine if your condition is getting worse. You may feel fine immediately after an accident, but this may change in the weeks or months following.
