Personal injury cases are legal disputes that arise when one person suffers harm from an accident or injury, and someone else might be legally responsible for that harm. The most common types of personal injury claims are road traffic accidents, accidents at work, tripping accidents, assault claims, and or any other negligible act that can cause pain and suffering, product defect accidents, product liability and other holiday accidents. Damages include body injury, intentional infliction of emotional distress, as well as negligent infliction of emotional distress. We formalize our cases through civil court proceedings that may be resolved through informal settlement before any lawsuit is filed.
A formal personal injury case typically starts when an individual files a civil “complaint” against another person, business, corporation, or government agency, alleging that they acted carelessly or irresponsibly in connection with an accident or injury that caused harm. This action is known as “filing a lawsuit”. To establish the details of your case, we need to know: the date of the accident, where and how it happened, the contact details for any witnesses, the details of your injuries, medical diagnosis and treatment received, whether you are a member of a trade union or you have legal expenses insurance policies, as this may entitle you to free or reduced-cost legal representation.
In reality, most disputes are resolved through an informal early settlement, among those personally involved in the dispute, their insurers, and attorneys representing both sides. A settlement commonly takes the form of negotiation, followed by a written agreement in which both sides, resolve the matter through payment of an agreeable amount of money. Settling a case means that you agree to accept money in return for dropping your action against the person who injured you. You’ll actually sign a release absolving the other side of any further liability. To help you decide whether to accept the settlement offer, we will be able to provide a realistic assessment of whether a lawsuit based on your claim will be successful. In that case, we need to see the proof of your financial expenses that are due to your injury, documents relating to any insurance policies you have, so to check whether these will cover the legal costs of your claim, any evidence that can be used to support your claim, including documents from before your accident or previous accidents in similar circumstances.
Compensatory damages in personal Injury cases including personal injury damages comprise the cost of medical care associated with the accident. You may be entitled to compensation for the accident’s impact on your salary and wages such as loss of earning capacity, entitled to reimbursement for repairs for the fair market value of the property that was lost, you may be entitled to get compensation for pain and serious discomfort you suffered during the accident, emotional distress damages are meant to compensate a personal injury plaintiff for the psychological impact of an injury , you may be entitled to receive “loss of enjoyment” damages, “loss of consortium” damages typically relate to the loss of companionship.
