The Anatomy of A Personal Injury Claim
Here is a framework of a typical personal injury case:
An accident occurs. This may be a car accident, bicycle accident, pedestrian accident, bus accident, trip and fall, slip and fall, dangerous condition, dog bite, or any one of hundreds of other scenarios where someone gets hurt.
An injury is suffered. This may be anything from a soft-tissue sprain and strain to the muscles in your neck and back to fractures, laceration, surgery, treatment, brain damage, knee injuries, hip injuries, shoulder injuries or even death.
The victim calls a personal injury attorney, who offers a free consultation. The injured individual usually wants to know what their rights are and whether or not they have a case.
The injured individual is immediately interviewed. The goal is to find out the details of what happened and what their injuries are. If the person was not hurt and just wants advice, it is provided with sound wisdom about how to handle their claim and what to expect. If the person was hurt, regardless as to what extent, an analysis of the three main component parts to a personal injury case are reviewed.
