Three Common Injury Law Questions

What is a personal injury claim?

A personal injury claim is a legal action taken by someone who has been injured (the plaintiff) due to the negligence or intentional act of another person or entity (the defendant). The claim seeks compensation for the injuries and damages suffered as a result.

What types of damages can I recover in a Personal Injury Case?

You can typically recover:

economic damages (medical bills, lost wages, etc.)
non-economic damages (pain and suffering, emotional distress)
in some cases, punitive damages designed to punish the defendant for particularly egregious behavior.

Why would I want to hire an injury lawyer for my car accident case?

You do not have to have a lawyer to have an injury claim, but a lawyer may be able to add value to your claim.

Trying to handle a case on your own can lead to missed insurance coverages, missed insurance policies, missing important defendants, missed medical bills, and more. Not only might you miss out on potential avenues of recovery, but even after you receive it, bill and debt collectors can take some or all of that money, if not appropriately handled on the front end.
