Tort Liability

A "tort" is defined simply as a civil wrong where the wronged person may seek damages from the "liable", or responsible, parties. While all torts do not necessarily cause physical harm, i.e. slander or libel, in most cases "tort liability" refers to a serious personal injury or wrongful death caused by the negligence, willful or not, of another person or group.

The Law Offices of Larry D. Wilks represents persons suffering a catastrophic injury or wrongful death through:

Motor Vehicle Accidents - Car crashes, motorcycles, buses, commercial vehicles, semis / 18-wheelers, trains, boats, planes, bicycles, drunk drivers, uninsured / underinsured motorists.

His aggressive advocacy for persons injured or killed by negligence has earned him a reputation as a skilled negotiator and tenacious litigator who never backs down from the insurance companies.

Insurance companies are businesses dedicated to their own bottom line. Most of the time, they will automatically deny a claim in the hopes that the injured person will give up and accept little or no settlement. The most important thing after any serious injury or death is to contact a personal injury attorney immediately, before making statements or signing documents that could prejudice the case and leave the injured person unable to collect future damages for:

• Medical Bills
• Lost Wages
• Emotional Trauma
• Pain & Suffering
