What is a Personal Injury Law?
Injuries are a common part of life, but the circumstances in which injuries happen are either accidental or unfortunately caused by negligence. When you are injured, thoughts that come across your mind may be:
- Was this my fault?
- Was another party negligent?
- If it was due to negligence, what are my options?
- Should I visit a doctor? How soon?
- Am I required to pay my medical costs?
- What if I do not have medical insurance?
When a devastating injury happens to you due to negligence, someone needs to be held accountable. You may be entitled to compensation or a sound resolution to your case. These moments can be life changing, which is why your case will be handled with great care and compassion.
FAQS
We know how confusing it can be after an accident. Who will pay for your medical treatment? Should you talk with the insurance company? Here’s some common questions and answers as a starting point.
Do I Really Need a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Some people try to settle their personal injury case without a lawyer. They think that lawyers are too expensive or that they can do it on their own and get the same result. This approach rarely works. The insurance companies’ lawyers and adjusters are skilled at lowballing people who do not have a lawyer. Injured people are not aware of what damages they can recover and fail to ask to be compensated appropriately.
Here’s everything you need to know.
Personal Injury Categories
Personal injury is an umbrella term that covers various injuries and damages such as:
- Car accidents
- Slip and fall on another's premises
- Injury on another's property
- Wrongful death
- Damaged by dangerous products
- Negligent healthcare providers
- Drunk driving injury
- Loss of employment or normal everyday functions
No two circumstances are the same when it involves a personal injury case. Not all injuries are caused by negligence, but not all injuries are accidents either. Just because these injuries are common, it doesn’t make them any less significant in the eyes of the law.
Peace is more important than all justice; and peace was not made for the sake of justice, but justice for the sake of peace.
