Civil Litigation

Injuries & Contracts

Personal Injury

Civil cases for personal loss can take many forms. These can be from simple falls and car accidents to serious recklessness or intentional acts which change your life forever. These harms can vary, such as physical, mental, and emotional harm, to economic or business loss from missing work, and even deprivation of constitutional rights. Some cases will never go to Court, as settlements are often reachable—other cases cannot be resolved outside of a courtroom in a fair way to the person harmed. Civil litigation cannot always undo what has happened, but Shreve Law Firm can try to do everything it can try to make sure that you receive the most consideration to compensate you or your family from loss and suffering. 


Civil Defense

On the other side of civil cases like personal injury type claims is defending against them. While most insurance companies will cover and support you for acts of negligence and the like, if it is claimed as an intentional act, or if you do not have insurance which will cover this type of claim, you will need to find legal representation on your own. An attorney will help defend you against claims against yourself, your family, and your business.


Contracts & Disputes

When the other party to your contract does not hold up its end of the bargain, or even accuses you of the same, sometimes it simply cannot be resolved without legal intervention. Often, contracts will not have necessary language to answer a specific question, and a Court is left to interpret what will happen. Drafting contracts may seem fairly black and white, but can become complicated depending on scope and level of detail.
