Should you sue for personal injury?

If you have been involved in an incident and have sustained an injury(s) due to the negligence of another person or party, you may have a legal claim to bring a personal injury action. This allows you or your family to recover compensation for damages due to negligence, liability or even intentional harm on the part of a person(s) or other party.

In personal injury cases, the “burden of proof” falls on the person making the claim. As the plaintiff, you need to be able to prove that your accident and subsequent injuries were the direct result of negligence on the part of the defendant. Such evidence can include police and/or incident reports, eyewitness statements, medical records, and documentation from your employer about lost time and wages.

It can be a tricky proposition to determine whether or not you have the evidence needed to bring a lawsuit; in other words, is personal or commercial liability involved? So, it is in your best interest to engage the services of an experienced personal injury attorney who can help determine whether or not you have a valid claim and then can help you receive the highest compensation.

Additionally, compensation can also cover the loss of time, earnings and/or an impairment of earning capacity and pain and suffering.
