Personal injury
cases can arise from various circumstances. Some of the most common causes of
personal injury are vehicular accidents, slip and fall accidents, and
work-related injuries. Someone who has been injured by another person’s improper
actions may be entitled to a file personal injury claim. Below are three of the
most common questions about this type of claim:
Do I have a valid personal injury claim?
You can find out
about the viability of your claim by talking to a good personal injury attorney.
Three things you may need to prove in a personal injury case are: that the
defendant was negligent, that you sustained an injury, and that the defendant’s
negligence caused your injury. Note that even if your claim is valid, you may
not be able to collect compensation if the defendant has no insurance or assets
to compensate you.
How much compensation can I receive?
Many factors
affect the monetary value of your claim. These may include medical bills,
property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering, among other things.
Putting a value on your claim isn’t an exact science, and your attorney won’t
be able to give you a definite amount up front, although they may be able to
offer you some idea.
Should I be the one dealing with insurance companies?
Insurance
companies tend to be more concerned with their own interests rather than yours.
It’s better to let an attorney negotiate on your behalf because he or she will
know how to counter an insurance company’s tactics.
