Practice Areas
Personal Injury
These cases arise when people are injured by careless or negligent acts of others, or injured by products that are defective in some way. When someone is determined to be determined to be legally responsible for injuring someone else, they are liable for the injury, and may be made to pay the injured person compensatory damages. In some cases, punitive damages are also awarded in these lawsuits. If you or a loved one has suffered harm due to any serious accident, the damages you could recover include: medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, impairment, disfigurement, loss of consortium, pain and suffering, and mental anguish. Make an appointment with D. Randall Ensminger to discuss your situation and the options for recovery of damages that are available to you and your loved ones.

Wrongful Death
People die in accidents every day. Often, those deaths should not have occurred - they happened because of someone else's carelessness or negligence, or because of a defective product, or as a result of some other wrongdoing. The families of people who have been wrongfully killed have a right to seek compensation from the person or entity causing the death of their loved one; compensation not only for the economic losses resulting from their loved one's death, but more importantly for the loss of care, comfort and society. There are an infinite number of ways that people can be wrongfully killed. Often times, the liability issues involved in wrongful death cases are extremely complex. If your family member has died and you think that their death might have been wrongfully caused by someone, you should contact Ensminger Law Offices for your free consultation and piece of mind.
