Do I Have a Personal Injury Claim?

Posted Date:

If you have suffered a personal injury due to the negligent actions of another, you may be entitled to receive compensation for your damages. However, in order to achieve a successful outcome to your claim, you must be able to prove two important conditions:

  • Another party’s negligence directly caused your injuries
  • You suffered monetary damages as a result of your injury

The first condition is very important. You must be able to prove that another individual or corporation is responsible for your injury. In some cases, there may be more than one party responsible for your injury. If so, all responsible parties may be included in your personal injury claim.

The second condition is equally crucial. You must actually suffer some form of monetary damages from this injury. If there are no monetary damages, you have no case. Common damages awarded in personal injury cases include:

  • Medical expenses
  • Rehabilitation costs
  • Lost wages
  • Property damage
  • Lost earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
