Someone has suffered a “personal injury” when they have been physically or emotionally harmed due to the negligence of another another person. This site contains detailed information about car accidents, workers compensation, truck accidents and other causes of personal injury. Please refer to these subject headings for more information on your case.
There are an endless number of ways that someone can be injured due to another's negligence. For this reason, we have this section on personal injuries in general. Most personal injury cases seek the same kinds of damages. If you were injured due to another's negligence, you may be entitled to recover for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, disability (full or partial), future medical expense and future lost wages. In most instances, there will be an insurance company to pay your damages.
WHAT TO DO NEXT
Due to the statute of limitations (time allowed to file claim) placed on personal injury cases, it's crucial that you contact a lawyer immediately. After establishing that the defendant is in fact responsible for your injury, we may seek damages on your behalf. As a result, you may be able to receive monetary compensation for your injury, including pain and suffering, loss of wages, medical expenses, and other relevant costs.
DO I NEED A LAWYER?
Think about it. The insurance company has employees that will investigate your claim and gather evidence to minimize the amount that they will have to pay you. They handle injury cases every day, all day. They have lawyers that assist them. They know the laws and they have experience. Unlike the insurance company, you've probably never been in an accident, you do not handle injury claims for a living. You need your claim settled fast. The insurance company would prefer to wait and hold onto their money for as long as possible. Do you think that this is a fair contest? Don't worry, we can help level the playing field. Like the insurance company, we handle injury cases every day. We have lawyers, investigators and case managers. We know the law. Unlike the insurance company, we will use our experience, resources and knowledge to help you rather than to hurt you.
