Wrongful Death
In some instances, a fleeting moment of carelessness leads to a tragic loss of life. When this happens, certain family members may be able to bring a wrongful death claim against the party responsible for the fatal accident. An experienced Maine Personal Injury Lawyer will assist the family with seeking the damages that the victim could have pursued if he or she had survived, as well as damages based on their relationship to the victim. As is the case with ordinary personal injury claims, wrongful death actions are subject to a strict statute of limitations. Someone bringing these types of lawsuits must file a claim within the permitted time period to avoid having the right to compensation barred.

Workers Compensation
Understanding the different legal standards for pursuing such Workers Compensation Claims and third party actions, and how to handle the different insurance carriers who will be managing such claims is important. Attempting to handle such conversations with the insurance carriers without legal assistance is never advisable. Separate and apart from such conversations, understanding which insurance carriers should be addressing medical bills as you proceed with treatment and what the rights to reimbursement each insurance carrier will have by way of medical liens will be important as you proceed with your claim and will require expert legal guidance. Consult a Knowledgeable Lawyer When Pursuing an Injury Claim

Property Damage
The plaintiff must also prove that the defendant’s actions directly caused the injuries suffered by the victim. Finally, the plaintiff must establish damages, which may include both economic and non-economic costs and losses such as medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering.

Personal Injury
Without warning, you may find yourself facing a debilitating medical condition from either injury or illness that changes your life. The financial and emotional fallout following such an event can prove financially and emotionally burdensome, with few answers appearing obvious. Our firm, The Law Offices of Russell J. Goldsmith, and its founder, Attorney Russell J. Goldsmith, has been committed to helping New England’s Disabled with the advice and assistance they need with their Social Security and Personal Injury cases for more than 33 years. Our team, located in offices in ME, MA and NH, is dedicated to giving each client the personal attention that she or he needs.
Medical Malpractice
Avoidable accidents have become an inescapable part of everyday life. In most situations, they happen because a person or entity failed to use the level of precaution that was appropriate in a certain situation. Victims of a motor vehicle collision, an incident of medical malpractice, or another type of preventable harm should seek the assistance of an experienced and aggressive lawyer so as to be able to take legal action against the party responsible for harming them. Our legal team has been assisting injured New Englanders for more than 33 years.
Auto Accidents
Social Security Disability
In order to be entitled to these benefits, a worker must complete the application process through the Social Security Administration (SSA) and meet both the earnings requirement and the medical requirement. Essentially, the earnings requirement means the applicant has worked and contributed into the Social Security disability system for a certain number of years (earning what the Social Security terms “quarters of coverage”) within a certain proximity of time to the time they became disabled from working. Assuming this to be the case, they will be considered “insured” for disability benefits under the Social Security Disability Insurance program. In Maine, Russell J. Goldsmith is a knowledgeable Social Security lawyer who will be able to advise you if you remain “insured” and therefore entitled to collect Social Security disability insurance benefits. The particular amount of time is set forth by rule and differs based on the applicant’s age and work history at the time of disability. The medical requirement under the program is that the applicant prove they have been suffering from a “severe medical impairment(s)” that cause(s) them to remain disabled from performing any manner of substantial gainful activity for a year or which condition(s) are expected to result in death.
