Do I Have A Personal Injury Case?
You have a case if the actions of another individual operating an automobile, truck, airplane, motorcycle, or other motor vehicle were careless. Careless is simply another word for negligent, which is defined as failing to do what a reasonable person would do, given a certain set of circumstances. For example, if an individual failed to stop his vehicle at a red light, as a normal person would, he could be considered negligent and responsible for damages.
Personal Injury Compensation 
These can include personal injuries caused by his actions for any pain and suffering, permanent injuries, disabilities, or even death.
In order for damages to be sought, an injury need not be physical. Such cases that involve being subjected to extreme emotional distress or verbal abuse may also entitle you to damages. In the case of a death within a family, surviving family members can recover damages through wrongful death laws & litigation.
Although many personal injury cases only involve minor injuries, you may still be entitled to substantial monetary damages. Medical expenses, no matter how small they are, including hospital expenses, medications, personal therapy can be recovered. In addition, in cases of extreme negligence, punitive damages can be recovered to ensure that the conduct is not repeated in the future.
Choosing an Attorney.
There are a number of factors to consider when choosing a personal injury attorney. Although all attorneys have attended law school and passed the bar exam, this does not necessarily qualify them.
Does the attorney have experience in similar cases?What is the attorney's record in recovering damages for clients?
Is the attorney prepared to take cases on a contingency basis, and does he/she have the financial resources necessary to do so?
