Should I Sue for Personal Injury?
You may have a personal injury case worth pursuing if you were injured by the negligence of another party and you can prove that the injury led to damages.
Common personal injury cases include:
- Auto Accidents
- Rideshare Accidents
- Pedestrian Accidents
- Boating Accidents
- Bicycle Accidents
- Medical Negligence
- Slip and Fall
- Premise Liability
- Workplace Accident
- Product Liability / Product Defect
- Animal Attack
- Assault and Battery
- Wrongful Death
What Should I Do After An Accident?
If you or a loved one were injured as the result of the negligence of a person or business, you have the right to sue for personal injury and seek damages. You have a legal right to seek support to help you or your loved one recover physically, emotionally, and financially.
1. Seek medical attention. Even if you don’t feel like you are injured, seek care to ensure that there are not any underlying issues that can cause future problems. Seeking medical care is also important as it will provide support for your case.
2. Document the accident and collect evidence. Collect evidence that shows proof of negligence and damages. The more information you can provide to your attorney, the better.
3. Get a free consultation with a personal injury attorney. An attorney should not add to the financial burden after an accident. Only talk to attorneys who offer free consultations.
4. Set reasonable expectations for your case. You may have an idea of what you think your case is worth, but an experienced attorney will know the best way to approach your case and get the highest settlement possible
Should I Hire a Personal Injury Attorney?
You can seek to get what's owed to you after an accident on your own, but an attorney can bring additional guidance and expertise to your case.
They can be a partner by your side who will fight for your best interests and help you get the fair outcome you deserve. A personal injury attorney will:
- Look at the details of your situation and advise you if you have a case worth fighting for.
- Conduct an investigation to gather evidence that supports your side of the case.
- Help you collect more money from insurance companies. (Insurance companies do everything they can to pay out as little as possible.)
- Help you prepare for a deposition that may be a part of proving your case.
- Not collect any money until you win your case.
What Type of Compensation Can I Get After an Accident?
Personal injury compensation can cover a wide array of damages that are both monetary and non-monetary. There are four major categories associated with personal injury cases.
- Special Compensation Damages: Cover damages with an explicit monetary value, such as medical bills, cost of home-care, lost income, property damage, etc.
- General Compensation Damages: Cover damages with no exact dollar amount, such as emotional trauma, long-term physical impairments, loss of companionship, etc.
- Punitive Damages: Provide additional compensation if the accident was the result of malicious or intentional conduct.
- Wrongful Death Damages: Cover damages incurred by the loss of life, such as the cost of funeral and burial, emotional distress, loss of financial contribution, etc.
How to Choose a Personal Injury Lawyer
Finding the right attorney can be essential to getting what is due to you after an accident that was not your fault. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you get the full justice, compensation, and results you deserve.
- Experience: Look for an attorney who has experience that matches the unique details of your case.
- Fees: Discuss the different fee structures and what you will be expected to pay.
- Working Style: If you want to work directly with the attorney you meet with, discuss their working styles before hiring them. Will they pass you over to an associate? Will they communicate directly with you? Will they be working on your pleadings and arguments? Will they be in court with you?
- Community Connections: If you were injured in Tampa, look for an attorney with experience with local courts.
