PERSONAL INJURY FAQs

What Qualifies as a Personal Injury Case?

Any accident involving negligent or reckless behavior is cause for legal attention. This is particularly true when actions or inaction led to your harm. Had others followed the law and rightfully acted as they were responsible for acting, there is less of a chance that you would have sustained an injury. Therefore, you have the right to file a claim and seek due financial compensation. But what qualifies as a personal injury case? Generally speaking, a person will have a valid personal injury case if they suffered quantifiable (measurable) harm because of another’s act or failure to act. An example may be a distracted driver who runs a red light and strikes a pedestrian. That driver should be held liable in civil court for the injuries that the pedestrian experienced. Other examples are: motor cycle accidents, 18-wheeler accidents, slip and falls, etc. If this is you? Give us a call to discuss your case in detail.

What do I do after an accident?

If you have been injured in an accident, the most important priority is getting medical attention. Assuming that you are not taken to the emergency room immediately, you should take photos or videos of the accident scene and get the contact information of any witnesses. You should not admit fault or apologize to anyone else who was involved, even if it seems like a polite thing to do. Anything that you say in the aftermath of an accident can be used against you if you pursue a claim or lawsuit later. If you suspect that someone else may have been at fault, call us and set up a consultation to discuss your options. Our consultations for these cases are free.

How long do I have to file a personal injury case?

A personal injury case may need to be filed within two years of the accident. There are some exceptions to the statute of limitations, but they are very narrow, so you should not assume that an exception applies. As a practical matter, moreover, you should try to pursue a claim as soon as possible while the evidence is still fresh. This will help you prove liability and the scope of your damages.

How do I know if I have a case?

You do not need to make this decision on your own. Contact us and set up a free consultation to go over your situation in detail. We will be able to tell you whom you can sue and what you can expect to recover, based on the facts of the accident and damages resulting from it. Essentially, in most situations, you will have a case if someone acted carelessly under the circumstances and caused your injuries. Applying this standard is more complicated than it sounds, however, which is why it is important to contact us if you were involved in an accident and suffered injuries.
