Personal injuries are an unexpected inconvenience to which we all may find ourselves a victim of one day. Once it is too late and we find ourselves hurt or injured, we may find that the recovery process can be major obstacle in our everyday lives. The physical pain and emotional distress you or a loved one encounter as a result of an injury or accident greatly disrupts your everyday life and can seriously hurt you financially as a result of subsequent medical payments. In serious cases, the victim may find that they have sustained a permanent injury from which they might never recover. The good news, however, is that we are able to pursue justice and compensation as a result of these unfortunate circumstances.

What qualifies as a Personal Injury?

Any individual who is hurt due to the negligence or intent of another can qualify for a Personal Injury lawsuit. Personal Injuries often result in financial compensation for an individual if they or a loved one fall victim to a number of unfortunate circumstances. These injuries are frequently accidental and can occur in the workplace, a public establishment, a nursing home, or even on the street. If these injuries are attributed to the fault of another individual, the victim may pursue a case and can receive major payout should they reach a settlement.

Personal injuries often range from minor bone fractures to more severe injuries such broken bones or paralysis; sometimes, these injuries can even be fatal. Because of this, there are many reasons one may want to pursue a case.

Like physical injuries, financial compensation can also be granted in response to wrongful death due to circumstances such as malpractice. Malpractice occurs when a doctor, nurse, or other medical professional’s neglect or inaction results in injury or lasting damage to a patient. Some examples of Malpractice include:

• Misdiagnosis of Patient
• Surgical damage
• Unnecessary Surgery
• Premature Hospital Discharge

Should you decide to pursue legal action for your injury, you can receive compensation in areas such as medical expenses, lost income, emotional distress or damaged property. An adequate payout can help add comfort to the recovery process, or in some cases, even help to move it along more quickly.

What are the most common Personal Injury cases?

A personal injury worth a claim can come in many forms and at any instance. Some of the most common forms of personal injury include:

• Auto/Car accidents
• Medical Malpractice
• Bicycle Accidents
• Slip and Fall Accidents
• Dog Bites
• Pedestrian Accidents
• Motorcycle Accidents
• Wrongful Death
• Truck Accidents
• Nursing Home Abuse, Malpractice and Neglect

Any preventable incident that results in serious or fatal injuries is grounds for a lawsuit. If you believe that you are a victim of one of these instances, your case could qualify.

What should be done in order to pursue a case?

Obviously, no one expects to be injured on any given day; as a result, the process of pursuing a case could be a bit confusing. Like any legal process, it is important to follow the proper steps in pursuing your goal of financial compensation.

Much of the case relies on the information provided from the victim. After you or a loved one are injured, ensure you have a clear record of what occurred, such as photographs or detailed notes. Make sure to keep a clear record of what exactly occurred at the time of the accident, as well as all details of the injuries received.

Any details presented by the victim will be used as evidence to further prove their case. As such, it is important to preserve or photograph any physical evidence, such as damaged property or visible injuries. It is also important to obtain any necessary medical records in order to prove that it was in fact the accident that resulted in your injuries rather than any prior incident.

What outcomes could result from a Personal Injury case?

Typically, claims result in compensation that varies based on the severity of the injury. More severe injuries usually result in higher medical expenses, and thus are more likely to receive a higher payout. Most personal injury case results are reached in an out-of-court settlement before ever going to trial.

There are circumstances when the resulting accident may cause the victim damage that is untreatable. Severe spinal injuries or head trauma could result in lasting damage that may leave the victim in a permanent state of immobility. Maintaining one’s own medical payments can also become seriously difficult for someone whose injury may prevent them from working. As a result, it is necessary for these individuals to consider filing a personal injury claim. While they may not be able to recover from their accident, they have the right to earn a fair amount of financial compensation and seeking a claim will help them to do just that.

While the victim is able to pursue compensation from the perpetrator on their own, it has been proven that having an attorney present to represent the victim during a settlement will often result in a higher financial amount. Having a skilled lawyer in the room could be the difference between receiving a payout of two-thousand dollars, or two-hundred thousand.

When should a victim seek legal consultation?

A victim should waste no time in seeking legal advice if they are dealing with a personal injury. Though the laws may vary by state, personal injury cases are often held within a statute of limitations, also known as the deadline for filing a lawsuit. States like Alabama have a two-year statute of limitations, thus giving victims two years to bring a lawsuit.

Should the deadline be missed, the case would be barred, preventing any possibility of moving forward with the case. As such, it is important to file a claim as soon as possible in order to ensure the likelihood of financial compensation.
