How Do I Know If I Really Have a Case?
After a serious car accident, you may be wondering whether you can pursue compensation for your injuries. Injured victims often want to know if they can file a personal injury claim in addition to — or instead of — an insurance claim. To understand whether you might have a valid case, consider three important questions.
01
Did you sustain a personal bodily injury?
You were physically hurt in the crash — whether it’s whiplash, a broken bone, a soft-tissue injury, a concussion, or something more serious that required medical treatment.
02
Were your injuries caused by someone else’s negligence?
Another driver owed you a duty of care and breached it — by speeding, running a red light, driving distracted or impaired, or otherwise acting carelessly — and that caused your crash.
03
Do you have recoverable damages or losses?
You have real losses tied to the injury: medical bills, physical therapy, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, vehicle damage, or pain and suffering.
If the answer to these questions is YES, you may have grounds to move forward with a personal injury claim. Speaking with an attorney can help you better understand your specific situation and options.
