Why is Personal Injury Law So Important?

When innocent people are hurt in accidents, personal injury lawyers help them recover compensation and seek justice. Accidents due to negligence can cost people thousands in medical bills, lost wages from time off work, property damage repairs, and more. Insurance companies are often hesitant to provide claimants with the payment they deserve. By working with a personal injury attorney on our team, you can recover the financial losses you were forced to accrue because of someone else’s actions.

Personal injury law also helps families find closure when a loved one is killed in an accident. If your loved one died as a result of negligence, no amount of compensation will bring them back. However, our legal team can help you hold the guilty party liable in court to ensure they cannot repeat their negligent actions.

Steps to Take After a Personal Injury

When filing a personal injury claim, it’s important to avoid common mistakes that can hurt your case. First and foremost, get medical help right away so there’s no doubt about your injuries. Not only can it help you get healthier faster, but it can also show that your injuries are significant enough that you need medical treatment. Next, you should keep good records of everything, like medical reports and accident details, to back up your claim. Don’t talk to insurance adjusters without a lawyer, as they may try to pay you less. Don’t rush to settle; early offers are usually too low.

Remember, there are deadlines to file your claim – missing them can cost you. One of the most assuring ways to avoid common mistakes following an accident is to hire an experienced personal injury lawyer in Carthage and Asheboro to guide you and make sure you get the compensation you deserve. Following these steps will help protect your rights and get the best outcome.

Frequently
Asked
Questions

How Do I Know If I Have a Personal Injury Case?

In most cases, if you were injured in an accident caused by someone else’s actions or negligence, you have a personal injury case you can pursue. Negligence is an action or inaction that is hazardous and would not have been done by someone else in similar circumstances. You must also research the personal injury laws and statute of limitations in your state. Our legal team can examine the facts of your accident to determine if you have a valid personal injury case.

What is the Statute of Limitations for a Personal Injury Case?

If you would like to pursue a personal injury case, you must file a claim before the statute of limitations has expired. The statute of limitations will vary depending on what state you are in. In North Carolina, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases expires three years from the date of the accident. However, there are some exceptions that may apply, like if your injuries were not immediately apparent or if the liable party attempted to flee to avoid being served.

How Much Compensation Can I Receive in a Personal Injury Claim?

All personal injury cases are different. The total payment you can recover depends on the extent of your damages and the nature of your accident. Generally, you can claim any financial losses you suffered as a direct result of the accident. Many victims pursue compensation for medical bills, lost wages, lost future income, property damage repair, pain and suffering, and more. You may also be awarded punitive damages if the liable party acted extremely negligently. Punitive damages are meant to dissuade the guilty party from repeating their actions again.

How Long Does it Take to Settle a Personal Injury Claim?

As with most legal matters, settling a personal injury claim can take many months. Not many personal injury cases go to trial, and ones that are settled outside of court resolve much faster than ones that go to trial. In most cases, claims that involve significantly large amounts of money take longer to settle, as insurance companies and liable parties will fight harder to deny your compensation claim. Complex cases or cases in which liability is unclear will also take more time.

What Role Does Negligence Play in a Personal Injury Case?

Negligence is a key factor in most personal injury cases. To win your claim, you must prove that the other party was negligent, meaning they failed to exercise reasonable care, leading to your injury. This involves demonstrating that the other party had a duty to act safely, breached that duty, and directly caused your injury as a result. Establishing negligence can be complex, requiring evidence like witness testimony, expert analysis, and accident reports. Our attorneys have the experience to build a strong case that clearly shows how negligence contributed to your injury.

How Important is Medical Evidence in a Personal Injury Claim?

Medical evidence is critical in a personal injury claim as it directly links your injuries to the accident and demonstrates their severity. This includes medical records, doctor’s notes, diagnostic tests, and treatment plans. Without solid medical evidence, it’s challenging to prove the extent of your injuries, which can significantly affect the compensation you receive. Our firm works closely with medical professionals to gather comprehensive evidence that supports your claim. This ensures that all your injuries are documented and that you are fully compensated for both your immediate and long-term medical needs.

What Are Pain and Suffering Damages in a Personal Injury Case?

Pain and suffering damages are compensation for the physical and emotional distress caused by an injury. Unlike economic damages, such as medical bills and lost wages, pain and suffering damages are subjective and vary based on the severity of the injury and its impact on your life. Factors like ongoing pain, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, and even disfigurement are considered. Calculating these damages requires careful assessment, often using a multiplier based on your economic losses. An experienced personal injury lawyer can help you determine the appropriate amount to seek for pain and suffering in your claim.

Should I Accept an Injury Settlement?

Deciding whether to accept a settlement offer depends on several factors. While it’s tempting to settle quickly, especially if you’re facing mounting bills, early offers are often lower than what you deserve. Before accepting, consider the full extent of your injuries, ongoing medical needs, lost wages, and future expenses. Once you accept a settlement, you typically forfeit the right to pursue further compensation, even if your condition worsens. Consulting with an experienced personal injury lawyer can help you evaluate the offer and determine if it adequately covers your current and future needs, ensuring you don’t settle for less than you deserve.
