What qualifies as a personal injury case?
From a legal perspective, personal injury refers to any physical or emotional injury you sustain due to the negligent, reckless, or intentional actions of someone else, typically as the result of some type of accident. For example, if you suffered a traumatic brain injury in a car accident caused by a drunk driver, you may decide to file a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault party to pursue fair and full compensation for your accident-related expenses, or damages.
As the plaintiff, it will be your job or the job of your attorney to demonstrate that you were owed a legal duty of care by the defendant, the duty of care was breached by the defendant, and as a result you suffered damages. Duty of care simply means a person’s duty to act the same way as any reasonable person would act under similar circumstances.
Personal Injury Practice Areas
Is it worth hiring a personal injury attorney?
Potential scenarios where you may want to consider at least talking to a lawyer about your case include:
- You were injured in an accident that was not your fault.
- You suffered a severe or permanent injury in an accident caused by someone else.
- The person/organization who caused your injury denies responsibility.
- You want to know how much your potential legal case is worth.
- You received a settlement offer from the insurance company and you don’t know if it’s fair or if it’s enough money to cover your losses
How much is my personal injury claim worth?
There are many variables to consider when calculating the total value of your personal injury claim, and without knowing the specific details of your case, it’s impossible to provide an exact dollar amount for your particular claim.
Generally speaking, you may be eligible to recover compensation for:
- The cost of your current and future medical expenses, including doctor bills, surgery, physical therapy, pain medication and other prescriptions, appointments with specialists, medical devices, home modifications, etc.
- Wage loss if you missed time from your job due to your injuries.
- Loss of earning capacity if you are no longer able to work or can’t perform the same job requirements you could before your injury.
In short, the amount of money you receive from a negotiated settlement or court verdict will vary depending on how bad your injuries are and how strong the evidence is to support your claim.
