In legal terms, a “personal injury ” is any significant physical, emotional, or mental injury that is brought about by someone else ’s negligent or deliberately harmful actions. People who suffer such injuries may be entitled to compensation from the responsible party under the law. In cases in which the personal injury is fatal, a wrongful death claim may be filed by the family of the victim. Personal injury and wrongful death claims are filed independently of any criminal charges that might be brought against the party responsible for the injury. What factors do you consider in determining losses incurred as a result of an injury? Each case is unique, but typically there are several aspects of the injured party ’s circumstance and situation that are considered when assessing monetary damages. Personal injury victims are entitled to recover monetary damages for all losses and expenses they incur as a result of an accident. These damages may include: What are “damages? Broadly defined, “damages ” refers to the money awarded to a victim of personal injury. There are several different types of damages, including: How soon following my injury should I contact an attorney? The right to seek damages following a personal injury is governed by a time limit known as a statute of limitations. If the personal injury victim fails to take legal action against the negligent party during this time limit, he or she forfeits the right to seek damages in the future. The statute of limitations depends on the type of accident and injury, and varies from state to state. This is why it is best to contact an attorney as soon as possible following an injury accident. Even if you decide not to pursue legal action, an attorney can help you to understand your rights and how best to preserve them. If I file a personal injury claim, will I have to appear in court? Not all personal injury litigation results in a jury trial. In fact, many cases are settled out of court before a trial even has the chance to commence. However, it is best to entrust your case to a law firm that has experience and success in taking cases to trial.
