What do you need to consider before filing a personal injury claim?

A successful personal injury claim must prove:

1. The liability/negligence of the defendant for causing the accident.
2. The damages and losses the victim has suffered.

Liability/ Negligence

The burden of proof is on the victim of the accident to prove the defendant's liability and neglect for the victim's safety. The defendant could be a negligent driver, an employer who didn't provide the required or necessary training or supervision of an employee, a car manufacturer who sold defective cars etc.

The liability for a personal injury claim can rest on multiple defendants where more than one person is responsible for the accident and an Attorney vast in personal injury claim can help identify who has a legal obligation to compensate you for your injuries.

Claiming compensation for your injuries

How much you get as compensation is determined by the value of losses/damages incurred. If the victim sustained minor injuries, then the victim may not have to miss any day of work or experience a painful recovery, this will impact the compensation received and will result in a small personal injury settlement. Some personal injury victims do not want the hassle that comes with a lawsuit just to recover a small settlement. However, countless injuries can quickly result in thousands of dollars in damages.

What happens if you do not file a claim?

The decision to file a personal injury claim rests on the victim. An attorney can offer their guidance but eventually, the decision is the victims'.  While it is understandable that some people do not want the hassle and stress of dealing with the legal system, it is paramount to comprehend the effects of not filing a lawsuit.

Effects of not filing a lawsuit

Personal Injury claims are all limited by laws in all states and claims filed after the time allotted for filing by the law of that state will be dismissed and any claim will be lost. The victim will become responsible for any medical expenses incurred because of the accident.

The victim will not be compensated for any lost wages that resulted from inability to go to work due to the accident. Some victims even lose their jobs because of injuries sustained and the defendant is mandated to compensate for such lost wages. Again, an Attorney vast in personal injury claim can help explore all options available to the victim for fair compensations.
