Understanding Personal Injury Settlements
Usually in personal injury cases, the plaintiff seeks financial compensation from the defendant. This compensation may cover medical bills, pain and suffering, lost income, and possibly even loss of future income if the injury affected the plaintiff’s ability to work.
The court may award the full amount of damages you and your legal team request, or it may rule that the defendant must pay a lesser amount. Since a great amount of money rides on this decision, the defendant’s attorney (and their insurance company) will work very hard to have the case dismissed, or at least attempt to minimize the loss and pain you received. This can be very disheartening, but it helps to know that you have a strong legal team ready to advocate for you.
Common Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle
Though there are many reasons a person could be liable for someone else’s injury, there are some types of cases we see more often than others.
The following are a few common personal injury case scenarios:
- A company sold you a defective power tool that caused an injury when you used it
- Another driver recklessly caused an accident that left you in pain or unable to work
- A person who invited you to their home or business failed to warn you about a danger, such as rotting porch planks or faulty wiring, that resulted in an injury
There is a wide variety of potential personal injury cases, but in general, if an event that was not your fault caused you to lose income or earning potential, incurred large medical bills, or caused significant pain and suffering, there’s a good chance you have a legitimate personal injury case.
