Every year thousands of people are seriously injured or killed due to accidents sometimes caused by other people’s negligence. The resulting injuries may represent a type of legal case known as “personal injury.” A personal injury is typically an injury to your physical or emotional being, resulting from the intentional or negligent wrongdoing of another and can often be devastating to the injured person: physically, emotionally and financially.
Anytime a person suffers an injury and can prove another’s intentional or negligent wrongdoing was the cause, a claim for money damages may be brought against the responsible party or their insurance company. Potential money damages may be awarded to the injured person for their hospital and doctor bills as well as emotional distress, lost wages and property damage. A complex formula is applied to determine a fair assessment for pain and suffering which can also be factored into personal injury settlements. However, there are time constraints on taking legal action for certain personal injury instances. There are strict time limitations for filing certain types of claims which must be followed or one’s right to recover money damages will expire.
If you have suffered an injury as the result of another, you should contact a personal injury attorney to find out if you are qualified to collect compensation for the injury and damages you sustained. It is always wise to confer with a personal injury lawyer as soon as the injury occurs to find out the legal rights and options available and to make sure your rights are protected.
