What Is a Personal Injury Claim?

A personal injury lawsuit is a legal claim filed by an individual who has suffered a physical injury or death due to negligence, reckless or intentional behavior from an individual, company or other government entity. It usually occurs with car accidents, medical malpractice, worker compensation, prescription drugs, medical equipment, and defective products.

Any situation where a person suffers physical injury or death due to someone else’s mistake, the company or the government can be a case of personal injury.

What Must I Prove to Win a Personal Injury Case?

To succeed in your personal injury claim, you need to prove three things: (1) the other party acts in a careless, reckless, or deliberate manner; (2) the other side causes your injury; and (3) the amount of your damage.

  • With regard to the first thing you need to prove, neglect is the failure of the guilty person to use reasonable care, which is a concern that people who are cautious enough to use in the same situation.
  • The second thing you need to prove is the cause, which means the other party caused your injury, or substantially contributed to causing your injury. The third thing you need to determine is your damage.
  • It is our duty to gather all the evidence to prove your claim, and then present your best case to the insurance company; and if necessary, to the judge and jury.
