Disabilities-R-Us Patrons
Created by and for people with physical disabilities.
An unexpected injury can create problems that extend far beyond the accident itself.
For some people, recovery means a few difficult weeks. For others, it can mean months of medical treatment, time away from work, rehabilitation and learning how to live with physical limitations that may not completely disappear.
When an injury begins affecting a person’s ability to work, care for a family or live independently, the stakes of a personal injury case become much more significant.
Maine law firm Jabar LaLiberty, LLC has been recognized by Law.com LawyerPages for its work representing injured people and those whose injuries can lead to serious or disabling consequences.
It is recognition that comes after decades of representing Maine families.
Jabar LaLiberty has been representing people in Maine since 1979 and maintains offices in Waterville and Portland.
The firm’s personal injury attorneys handle cases involving car and truck accidents, medical negligence, defective products, premises liability and other circumstances where negligence causes serious harm.
That breadth matters because disability does not have a single cause.
A spinal injury after a vehicle crash can affect someone’s mobility. A traumatic brain injury can affect concentration and memory. A medical error can create lifelong complications. A defective product can leave someone unable to perform the work they spent years learning to do.
In each situation, understanding the person’s actual losses requires looking at much more than an emergency room bill.
The attorneys at Jabar LaLiberty work with injured people throughout Maine to evaluate those broader consequences.
For many families, one of the biggest fears after a serious injury is not the legal case.
It is the paycheck.
A construction worker with a serious back injury may not be able to return to heavy physical labor. A commercial driver with neurological problems may no longer be able to drive safely. Someone recovering from a traumatic brain injury may find that the concentration required for their previous job has become difficult.
These losses are not always temporary.
A serious personal injury claim may therefore involve questions about past wages, future earning ability, ongoing medical expenses and the assistance a person may need in the future.
The human impact can be equally significant.
Losing the ability to work, drive, exercise or participate in activities someone once enjoyed can affect identity and independence as much as finances.
Those consequences deserve to be understood.
Attorney Jason Jabar’s career illustrates the firm’s connection to trial advocacy.
He has handled hundreds of civil and criminal matters and has participated in more than one hundred contested trials. He has also served in leadership within Maine’s trial lawyer community.
That courtroom experience can be important even when a case ultimately settles.
Insurance companies have experienced attorneys working to protect their interests. Injured people deserve someone capable of building a case from the beginning as though it may eventually need to be presented in court.
That means gathering evidence before it disappears, understanding medical records, speaking with witnesses, documenting changes in someone’s ability to work and evaluating what future care may be necessary.
The most serious injury cases cannot always be measured by what has already happened.
They must also account for what lies ahead.
Jabar LaLiberty reports significant recoveries in cases involving serious injuries, defective products and medical negligence.
But numbers tell only part of the story.
Behind every personal injury case is someone whose plans were interrupted.
It may be a parent trying to keep a household running while attending medical appointments. It may be someone wondering whether they will ever return to their profession. It may be a family suddenly responsible for caring for someone who was previously completely independent.
For people dealing with disability after an accident, having an attorney who understands the full impact of an injury can be particularly important.
The goal of the legal system cannot be to give someone their old life back. Sometimes that simply is not possible.
The goal is to hold responsible parties accountable and pursue the financial resources an injured person may need to move forward.
That long standing commitment to Maine injury victims is one reason Jabar LaLiberty has received recognition from Law.com LawyerPages for its work on behalf of injured clients.
