How do I know if I have a personal injury case?
The law can be tricky, and just because there was an accident and you were injured, does not necessarily mean you have a personal injury case you will win. Sometimes it is not even apparent that a victim has grounds for a claim. Most personal injury claims are related to negligence of any kind. Call (888) 828-5150
The first question to ask when evaluating whether or not you have a personal injury case is this: Did another person act unreasonably, given the circumstances of the situation, and if so, did their actions cause you harm?
It may sound simple, but notice there are three parts to that question.
- Did the other person act reasonably…
- Given the circumstances of the situation
- And did their actions cause you harm?
Knowing how the law determines the definitions of reasonable versus unreasonable actions, how it evaluates the specific circumstances, and whether or not it agrees that harm or damages occurred is why it is best to speak with an experienced attorney about your situation.
Evaluations are free and confidential. Give us a call or fill out the form today to be connected with a local attorney who specializes in personal injury cases.
