Focused on Personal Injury Cases
What is a ‘Personal Injury’ In the Legal Sense?
A personal injury case is a legal dispute that’s pursuable if one individual is harmed via an accident at least partially caused by another party. The guilty party may have acted negligently in order to cause the accident. However, negligence isn’t the only basis on which a case can rest.
No matter the cause, a personal injury case only proceeds when the injured party starts the process to bring the person or organization they believe to be responsible for their injuries to court.
Types of Personal Injuries Eligible for Compensation
- Motor Vehicle Accidents: From single-car rollover accidents to head-on collisions, drivers and pedestrians who are victims of virtually any type of motor vehicle accident may be eligible for compensation.
- Premises Liability: Dog bites, slip (or trip) and falls, and any other injury sustained due to the failure to follow safety standards by a third party may make victims eligible for compensation.
- Work-Related Injuries: Employers are responsible for ensuring workers are equipped with proper safety tools and equipment. They are also responsible for making sure work areas are hazard-free.Workers injured due to the employer’s negligence to abide by safety standards may receive compensation for injuries, as well as lost wages from days spent out of work.
- Defective Drugs & Devices: When manufacturers fail to implement proper safety measures, defective drugs and devices may be sold to unwary consumers.Those that are injured by these products may be eligible for compensation—especially those that are prescribed defective products by medical professionals.
- Medical Malpractice: All damages from surgical mishaps, faulty prescriptions and improperly administered medical devices all can be covered with compensation from a medical malpractice lawsuit.

Personal Injury Lawsuits:
What to Do Before You File
There are certain steps you can take as soon as possible after your accident to maximize your chances of building a successful case—before you file a lawsuit:
- Do NOT let the other party’ insurance company take a recorded statement regarding the accident. This is typically asked by insurance companies so that statements made before consulting with an attorney can be used as evidence that may discredit any recounting of the accident later
- Collect a copy of the police report
- Try to get a recording or hand-written account from any witness of the accident willing to give you a statement
- Many areas are equipped with security cameras to catch people who illegally disregard safety standards. This can be valuable evidence for your case. A personal injury lawyer will be able to help you collect this evidence.
- Keep a detailed record of all medical records relating to your injury, as well as a list of lost working hours and wages that are directly related to any injury.
It is recommended that you enlist the help of a personal injury attorney with years of experience representing those involved in accidents similar to yours. The right lawyer can help you collect all the evidence, paperwork and testimonials you’ll need to build your case, and maximize your settlement.
