Injuries can happen to anyone. The law may provide a remedy if
another person was the cause of your injury. Generally, there are
two steps in determining whether a claim or lawsuit is in your best
interests. First, the other party has to be legally responsible.
This can be an intentional act (i.e. assault and battery) or a
negligent act (i.e. accident). Second, even if a person is legally
responsible, the severity of the injury and the likely recovery must be
taken into account. Just because someone is negligent, for example,
does not necessarily mean that the eventual recovery will justify a long
and costly lawsuit.
As a general rule, the clearer the
liability and the greater extent of the injuries sustained, the better the
chances are for a large monetary award or settlement. Some of the
most common types of accidents/injuries are listed below. Only a
highly skilled personal injury attorney can fully evaluate your claim.
