1. How do I know if I have a personal injury case?
If you’ve been injured in a car accident, or suffered another kind of personal injury, you may be facing the scary proposition of medical bills, lost wages from time away from work, and other new realities. Filing a personal injury lawsuit can help you get financial compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses from the injury, but how do you know if you have a personal injury case?
The best way to know for sure is to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney in your area, who can speak with you, review the facts and circumstances of your accident, and advise you on whether or not you have a case. There is no cookie-cutter or formula for personal injury cases, as each one is different and depends on the specific facts and laws in your state. A qualified personal injury attorney in your area will be able to evaluate your claim and tell you whether or not you have a personal injury case.
2. What should I do if I’ve been in a car accident?
Car accidents are stressful. If you have been in one, you may not be thinking clearly. But there are important things to do immediately after the accident. If you can, keep the below information available in your car:
3. What should I expect in a personal injury case?
After a car accident, workplace injury, or other type of personal injury, you mostly likely will consult with a personal injury attorney, who can discuss the facts and circumstances of your injury and determine whether or not you have standing to file a personal injury lawsuit.
If you file a personal injury lawsuit against a party or parties you allege are responsible for your injuries, you begin the car accident lawsuit process. There will be discussions with the other party’s insurance company, attorney, and others involved in the incident. There will be an exchange of evidence, called discovery, and the two parties will attempt to reach an agreeable resolution to the case, called a settlement.
If you and the other parties are not able to reach a settlement, then your case likely would go to a civil trial, where a judge or jury would hear evidence and render a verdict, including a damages amount to compensate you for your injuries and other damages.
4. How does a Personal Injury Attorney get paid?
Most personal injury attorneys charge you a contingency fee. This compensation system allows the injured person to hire an experienced personal injury attorney without having to pay for upfront legal costs. In most cases, hiring a personal injury attorney on a contingency fee basis means if you don’t collect any money as part of your personal injury lawsuit case, you don’t owe the attorney any money for their work on the case.
