What is a Personal Injury Lawyer?
A personal injury lawyer is a lawyer who represents people who have been injured, either physically or emotionally, as a result of the negligence or wrongdoing of another person, company, or government agency.
What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?
Personal injury lawyers help their clients by pursuing compensation for their losses. These losses can include medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
What Are the Steps in a Personal Injury Lawsuit?
If you have been injured in an accident, the first thing you should do is get medical treatment. Once you have been seen by a doctor, you will likely be contacted by the at-fault party’s insurance company.
The insurance adjuster may try to get you to settle your claim quickly and for less money than it is worth. You should not settle your claim without first speaking to a personal injury attorney. Do not sign anything without speaking with a personal injury lawyer first.
The steps in a personal injury lawsuit vary depending on the jurisdiction in which the case is filed, but there are generally five steps:
- The plaintiff files a complaint with the court.
- The court issues a summons to the defendant.
- The defendant files an answer to the complaint.
- The discovery phase begins.
- The trial begins.
What is the Statute of Limitations for Filing a Personal Injury Lawsuit?
The Statute of Limitations is the deadline by which a plaintiff must file a personal injury lawsuit. In most states, the Statute of Limitations is two years from the date of the injury, but it can range from one year to six years.
Personal Injury Damages
The damages that are available in a personal injury lawsuit depend on the facts of the case, but they can include:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Emotional distress
- Punitive damages
