How do I know if I have a personal injury case?
You have a Personal Injury Case if:
- The responsible party was careless (negligent). For example, if a truck driver crashed into an innocent victim’s car because he was texting, the truck driver, under the law, would be considered negligent.
- The negligence caused the personal injury. In the above example, if the innocent victim sustained a broken leg and a broken arm as a result of the crash, the truck driver’s negligence would be considered to have caused the personal injury.
- The injury resulted in harm (compensatory damages). In the above example, if the innocent victim’s broken arm and broken leg resulted in lost wages, and/or pain and suffering, the injury would be considered to have resulted in compensatory damages (i.e., damages for which an injured party may be compensated).
