The term personal injury is quite simple in its meaning: a person has been harmed, either physically, emotionally or financially. Car crashes, construction accidents, slip-and-fall accidents, defective products and more can cause “person-al” injuries.
When the personal injury is caused due to the carelessness or negligent actions of another person or organization, you may have reason to file a personal injury legal claim to help you recover the costs of medical treatment and other damages, including pain and suffering.
Personal injury attorneys represent people injured due to negligence in personal injury legal claims. These attorneys are especially helpful in negotiating fair and lawful compensation for injuries suffered on the behalf of the injured person.
The vast majority of these types of lawyers have chosen to practice in this area of the law because they want to help people and stop wrongdoing on the part of individuals and organizations, and they like the law. They also for the most part have a strong belief that those who commit wrong actions need to be held accountable.
Personal injury lawyers can help you negotiate a personal injury claim with an insurance company. They can fight for your rights should the case go to court. They can sue on your behalf all those whose negligent acts led to your injury.
Personal injury attorneys essentially take the headache part of a legal personal injury claim over for you, so you get to focus on recovery. They take cases on a contingency basis; this means that you do not pay an attorney’s fee unless they win results for you. In those cases, they receive payment from your settlement.
Personal injury lawyers offer a free consultation. They will sit down with you and listen as you tell the story of what happened. They often will go to your home or even to the hospital where you are getting treatment. They evaluate the case and decide whether, based on the facts, you have a legal claim. They may need to do some research, but in most cases they will be able to evaluate the situation while meeting with you.
Personal injury lawyers will handle all the legal aspects of the personal injury case. They will seek to prove that your injuries were caused by the negligence of the defendant. They will demonstrate how you suffered. They build a case for compensation for medical costs and damages related to pain and suffering. They hire experts as needed, interview witnesses, determine the cost of treating your injuries, both today and throughout the rest of your life, and help put a dollar value on the pain and suffering and loss that you have experienced. In most situations, personal injury lawyers negotiate a settlement outside of the courtroom. Most cases do not go to trial.
