Following a crash, you may be feeling blindsided by the financial damages you have incurred, the non-economic effects of the incident, and the legal complexities of filing a claim. The E. Stewart Jones Hacker Murphy legal team can assist you with managing all these aspects and fighting for the compensation you deserve.

  • What is the difference between criminal procedure and civil procedure?
    When a crime has been committed, action is taken by a government agency against the person, persons, organization or other entity that violated the law. The first purpose of a criminal prosecution is punishment, which frequently consists of a fine or jail time. In a civil matter, the dispute is between two or more individuals or entities. The first purpose of a civil prosecution is obtaining compensation for the wronged person or entity. Settlement in a civil matter is generally an award of a money judgment. A criminal sentence is not imposed in a civil matter.
