If you or a dear one has been unfortunate enough to become injured in a motor-vehicle accident or a slip and fall accident, the first priority would obviously be to ensure that the best medical treatment is immediately given. Following this, victims or their families may have to deal with the local police or traffic authorities and insurance companies. At such a time of anxiety and confusion, few people are aware that accidents are rarely random events but are caused by another person’s or agency’s fault or negligence. Victims who have suffered injury as a result of this are entitled to seek damages/compensation by making a personal injury claim. Hence, it’s important to contact a Walkers Point personal injury lawyer without delay. One of the reasons that this should be done expeditiously is because personal injury cases are governed by strict time-frames within which claims must be filed.
The term “personal injury” legally refers to any injury to body, mind or emotions. This is different from damage to property. It also covers claims of injury to one’s reputation as well as bodily injury. As our Walker’s Point car accident lawyer and Walkers Point slip and fall accident lawyer deal exclusively with personal injury cases, they have the experience and knowledge to assist victims of car accidents, slip/trip and fall, accidents caused by defective products, assault, elder abuse, medical malpractice, work-place/occupational accidents and diseases, etc. The claim is usually settled by the at-fault party’s insurers and is based on the kind of evidence presented indicating their liability, the laws of the state, the circumstances of the case and the extent and nature of injury suffered. All these factors would obviously make the process a complex one that can be difficult for an ordinary person to understand/deal with and hence an accident lawyer would be best suited to handle it.
A Walkers Point injury lawyer can work with our legal team to put together a robust claim backed by the requisite paperwork and evidence to establish liability. In general, most personal injury cases are settled outside court, but if negotiations/dispute-arbitration break down, our accident injury lawyers can take it to trial.
