Personal Injury Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I know if I have a claim?
In order to have a personal injury case, the defendant must have liability. They will be liable if they are negligent, have strict liability or have committed an intentional wrong.

2. Do I need to go to court?
Many personal injury claims are settled out of court. Payments usually try to cover the cost of medical expenses and lost wages. Pain and suffering may also be compensated.

3. What if health insurance paid the medical bills?
The role of health insurance should have no effect on the amount received from the claim. Insurance companies may need to be compensated for the medical bills they paid before the personal injury claim is complete.
