It can be tough to set a dollar amount on injuries you suffer in an accident. There are so many things to consider: doctor's bills, time lost from work, medical costs for ongoing injuries, pain and suffering, and so on. Insurance companies take all of them into account when deciding how much to offer -- and in the end pay out -- for a personal injury claim.
Personal Injury law refers to the area of law that involves civil law cases designed to obtain damages for accident victims who have suffered personal injury. Initially, the personal injury attorney usually tries to negotiate with the opposing party or their insurance company. If necessary, and if the attorney thinks you have a good chance of winning, the case may go to trial. The main concerns in an injury case are inattention and liability. Before you can collect an award, your attorney will have to prove that the defendant is liable. To prove legal responsibility, the attorney must establish inattention. If there is a failure to exercise reasonable care to prevent injury or damage then there may be negligence. Once legal responsibility and negligence have been established, the judge or the jury may award money to compensate for medical costs, lost wages and lost future earnings as well as for pain and suffering.
