How Do I Know If I Have a Personal Injury Case?
Not all accidents that result in injury result in personal injury lawsuits. However, if you are injured because of the irresponsible or negligent action or inaction of another person, you might have the right to take legal action.
Most personal injury accidents can be prevented, but because someone does not do what he or she should – or takes action in a negligent or irresponsible manner – victims are injured. Legally, personal injury occurs because someone fails to exercise due care and someone else’s life is changed forever.
Whether or not you file a personal injury claim varies based on a variety of factors. Your decision should not be made lightly. Personal injury lawsuits, like all legal action, can be time-consuming, expensive, and emotionally draining.
However, if you’re been injured and it is someone else’s fault, you deserve compensation – compensation for medical bills, lost wages, financial damages, and emotional and mental anguish and distress.
In a personal injury lawsuit, you can recover compensatory and punitive damages.
Compensatory damages are intended to compensate you for injuries and losses you suffered, including past and future medical expenses, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, physical and mental pain and suffering, permanent injuries and scarring, and property damage.
Punitive damages are intended to punish the person who hurt you, and in some cases, to discourage that person or others in a similar position from committing the same infraction, which would lead to the injury of others.
What Should I Do If I’m Injured by Someone Else’s Actions?
A personal injury lawsuit can make it easier to meet your family’s basic needs, recoup any losses caused by the incident, and deal with your physical and emotional challenges that would not have occurred if it weren’t for the event.
