Title: How to file a Personal Injury lawsuit?


1
How to file a
Personal Injury Lawsuit?
2
Personal Injury Claim
  • After an accident, you may think that the
    individual or his insurance company will
    automatically offer to compensate you for your
    injuries. Unfortunately, that is not reality. In
    fact, in most situations, the exact opposite
    happens. The individual will take no
    responsibility for his or her actions and his or
    her insurance company will stand to gain from not
    compensating you.

3
Determine if an Insurance Policy Will Cover Your
Injury(ies)
  • If youve been injured because of anothers
    negligence or recklessness of another individual
    or party, you may be entitled to compensation.
    You have grounds for a lawsuit -- even if the
    at-fault partys insurance company offers to pay
    for medical bills and offers an additional cash
    settlement. However, if you accept this
    settlement, you forfeit your right to press
    charges, unless there are extenuating
    circumstances.

4
Decide Whether you need an Attorney
  • Your Claim Is Too Much to Handle
  • At the very beginning of the process, or at any
    point along the way, you might decide that your
    accident or injury claim is too big or too
    complicated to handle without a lawyer.
  • Not Satisfied with the compensation offered
  • In some cases, you may handle your claim
    comfortably and competently but still wind up
    wanting to hire a lawyer because the insurance
    company refuses to make a fair settlement offer.

5

Finding a Good Personal Injury Lawyer
  • One good way to find a lawyer is to ask for
    reference from friends, acquaintances, or other
    lawyers for referrals -- and then meet the
    candidates. In addition, you can also search
    popular sites like Yelp, Avvo, Martindale to find
    an attorney in your area along with the user
    ratings.

6
Discuss Your Case with Attorney
  • You need to discuss your case with your attorney
    and share all of your injury-related documents.
    Disclose all the facts of the injury at this
    point, being sure not to present misleading
    information to make your claim look stronger.
    Absolute honesty is necessary with your attorney.
