subject: Answers To Your Questions About Personal Injury Law [print this page] If you or a loved one has had the horrible experience of being injured because of the actions, negligence, or oversight of another person or establishment, you may have a good case for a personal injury lawsuit. Common concerns and questions may have different answers, depending on what state you live in. Here are some answers to general questions and concerns, which may be similar from state to state.
How is personal injury defined?
Each state may have its own definition of exactly what it is and what it includes. Generally, being injured in this way includes any injury to your body which requires medical attention, any injury to you mentally which would require medical attention, and/or possibly experiencing emotional damage which may require medications or medical attention.
What can I do about it?
If you have been injured because of the actions or negligence of someone else, or because of the negligence or oversight of an establishment where you were at the time, then you may be able to bring a personal injury lawsuit against the person or establishment who caused your injuries.
What would I want to include in my action against the party who is responsible for my injuries?
You would need to have proof, validated by specialists, such as doctors, police, and anyone else who was involved in assessing your injuries, how they were caused, whether it was the fault of another, what medical treatments you need to take care of them, proof of lost wages due to injury, and any other expenses you incurred because of this injury. You will also want to include monetary award for personal suffering and any expenses related to necessary child care, meals, and travel expenses while you wait for your lawsuit to settle.
Who would I call to find out if I have a case?
If you have taken an honest look at your situation, and think you have a case, you should make an appointment with a personal injury lawyer so that he can assess your situation and determine whether you really do have a case that stands a good chance of winning. This type of lawyer would know the laws in your state, and be able to help you with any other questions or concerns you may have. He may also be able to help you understand everything you need to include in such a lawsuit to ensure you receive the compensation you are entitled to as the injured party.
