Frequently Asked Personal Injury Accident Questions
What is a Personal Injury Lawsuit?
A Personal Injury Lawsuit is a civil lawsuit where one party sues another for compensation after they were harmed due to negligence on the part of the other party.
Although there are many types of Personal Injury Accidents, some of the most common ones include:
Car Accidents
Truck Accidents
Motorcycle Accidents
Slip and Falls
Medical Malpractice
Work Injury
If you have been involved in one of these types of accidents and are suffering from an injury as a result, speaking with an experienced Personal Injury Attorney is the best way to ensure that you receive a fair financial recovery.
What Can I Be Compensated for in a Personal Injury Case?
If you are involved in a Personal Injury Accident, there are many different things that can be included in your settlement, although it depends on the type of accident you were involved in. In a lot of Personal Injury cases, settlement amounts include compensation for:
Property Damage
Medical Bills
Loss of Wages
Pain and Suffering
Emotional Distress
Loss of Consortium
It is important to have an experienced Personal Injury Attorney evaluate your case to determine which of these factors should be included in your settlement, and ensure that you get the maximum amount of compensation available.
How Much is My Personal Injury Accident Case Worth?
The value of a Personal Injury Accident Lawsuit depends on a lot of different factors, including:
Type of Accident
Amount of Damage
Extent of Injuries
Amount of Insurance Coverage Available
Depending on the details of your individual accident, your attorney will be able to draft a demand letter with you that will give an accurate estimate of the total value of your settlement.
How much does a personal injury lawyer cost?
Hiring a Personal Injury Attorney will not cost you any upfront legal fees, because they work on what is called a Contingency Fee Basis, and also provide a Free Consultation.
A Contingency Fee Basis means that you do not pay any legal fees up front, and your attorneys only collect a fee in the form of a small percentage of your final settlement.
Working on a Contingency Fee Basis is very beneficial to Personal Injury Victims because they can rest assured knowing that their attorney will do everything in their power to maximize their settlement for them.
How Long Will it Take to Get my Settlement?
Personal Injury Lawsuits can vary a great deal when it comes to the length of time it will take to settle.
First, it depends on how soon after your accident you speak to a personal injury attorney and how long it takes to file your claim.
Second, the seriousness of the accident and the extent of the injuries can cause the length of time to vary. In most cases, insurance companies will want to wait until the victim is completely healed from their injuries and they have all of the medical bills before settling. This is another reason speaking with an attorney is beneficial as they can set up a medical lien so that you do not have to pay your medical bills and then wait for reimbursement.
Finally, it depends on the size of the settlement and how backed up the courts are at the time. If you are willing to accept a smaller settlement, then your case can usually be resolved in a few weeks or months. If you are going after a larger settlement, it may take longer.
Also, if your case goes to trial, it can get pushed back even further due to courts usually being backed up with hundreds of cases waiting to be heard.
If I Hire a Personal Injury Attorney, Will I Have to Go to Trial?
Usually, you will not need to go to trial during your Personal Injury Lawsuit. Most of the time, a settlement will be reached between your attorney and the at-fault party's insurance company. However, your attorney will discuss with you what the best option is for you to receive the largest settlement possible, and occasionally that can mean going to trial.
