PERSONAL INJURYPersonal injury law protects you from negligence, recklessness, malpractice, and the inaction of others. Personal injury law can include claims such as auto accidents, medical malpractice and workers' compensation. If you have been injured in any way that you believe was not your fault, you may be eligible to receive compensation for the resulting physical harm, emotional distress, permanent disability, financial loss, or other inflictions you have experienced. If your personal injury claim involves medical malpractice or wrongful death - you or the deceased's family can file suit on behalf of its loved one. In many cases, you may have up to three years from the the date of your incedent to file for personal injury.
Do You Have A Personal Injury Claim ?Be prepared to prove the following: 1) another party is responsible for your injury and 2) the damages you are seeking honestly reflect the extent of the injury or loss.If you believe that these two elements can be proven, then you may indeed have a case.
What kind of compensation can I expect? Depending on the type and extent of your personal injury, you may be eligible for compensatory (actual) damages, and punitive (criminal) damages. Compensatory damages are awarded to cover all financial expenses, including lost wages, emotional distress, pain and suffering, permanent disability, mental impairment, earning capacity impairment, loss of profits, expenses, interest due from money withheld, and repair or replacement of property. In addition, punitive damages may be awarded if it is proven that your injury was caused with malicious intent.
Can I file a personal injury case by myself? Although you may file your personal injury claims independently, it is advisable to hire a personal injury attorney. An attorney can provide the effective representation to help you win the compensation you deserve. Most importantly, an experienced attorney will not violate any court laws when filing your case, as any such violations could cause your case to be barred forever.
Do I have to pay my personal injury attorney up front? Most personal injury attorneys do not require clients to pay up front or by the hour. Instead, attorney services are offered on a contingency basis a contract stating that the lawyer will be payed a predetermined portion of his settlement if he wins his case. If you don't win, you don't pay. This allows victims who otherwise might not have been able to afford an attorney to pursue legal action.
