A Look At Personal Injury Law
If it seems like you see a lot of billboards or advertisements for personal injury law firms, that’s not a coincidence. Personal injury cases are the most common type of lawsuits filed. Let’s take a closer look at personal injury law.
What Constitutes Personal Injury?
Personal injury occurs when you suffer physical and mental injuries caused by someone else’s negligent actions. If your case is successful, you can recover funds for physical and mental injuries that you incurred, plus lost wages, medical bills, and pain and suffering.
How Is Negligence Determined?
In order for your lawsuit to be successful, negligence must be proven. Here are the criteria for proving the other party was negligent.
- The party who caused your injuries had a responsibility to not hurt you.
- You suffered injuries or financial loss.
- The other party’s actions (or inactions) in failing the responsibility caused those injuries or financial loss.
What Are Types of Personal Injury Cases?
Personal injury can come in many shapes and sizes. The most common types of cases:
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Slip/trip accidents
- Falls
- Defective product causing an injury
- Dog bite
- Professional negligence of a doctor (medical malpractice) or someone else
How Do Personal Injury Lawsuits Typically Conclude?
Personal injury cases are often settled before ever making it to trial. Negotiations take place in an effort to come to an agreed-upon settlement that is satisfactory to both sides. In order to receive what you are entitled to, it’s important that you have a personal injury attorney in your corner to advocate for you.
