What Is a Personal Injury Claim and Do You Have One?

A personal injury claim is a legal process through which you or a loved one can seek compensation for injuries caused by the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. Claims typically involve physical injuries but can also encompass emotional or psychological harm. The objective is to recover damages to cover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related costs, so that you incur no additional burdens and are able to secure the support you need to recover and move forward.

What the Personal Injury Claim Process Looks Like

Filing a personal injury claim typically begins with gathering evidence, such as medical records and eyewitness accounts, and filing a claim with the insurance company of the party responsible. You will need to demonstrate that the other party had a responsibility to ensure your safety, failed to uphold that responsibility, and caused your injury as a result. If negotiations don’t result in a fair settlement, your case may need to go to court. Remember, you don’t have to navigate this complex personal injury claim process alone. Consulting with a personal injury attorney can make a significant difference, providing guidance, support, and a better chance of achieving a favorable outcome.

Do You Have a Personal Injury Claim?

A personal injury claim allows you to recover damages to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and the pain and suffering you’ve endured. 

To determine whether you have a valid personal injury claim, consider the following factors:

  1. Duty of Care: Did the person or entity responsible for your injury owe you a duty of care? This means they were obligated to act in a reasonably safe manner to prevent harm.
  2. Breach of Duty: Was this duty of care breached? For example, did a driver run a red light, or did a store owner neglect to clean up a spill?
  3. Causation: Did this breach directly cause your injury? There must be a clear link between the breach of duty and the harm you’ve suffered.
  4. Damages: Have you suffered actual damages, such as medical bills, lost income, or emotional distress, as a result of your injury?
