A personal injury lawyer may ask you to consider a variety of things as part of your case.
These could include:
the injury you have sustained
the damage done to the property of another person
what damages you may have incurred because of the negligence of others
what kind of compensation you deserve from the person or persons responsible
You will usually need to prove that the defendant caused the injury and was negligent. If you have a medical condition that is directly related to the injury you have sustained then the damages you have incurred because of it may also be relevant.
