Do I Have a Personal Injury Case?

To establish a claim, you need a personal injury law firm to prove legal responsibility of the third party. This responsibility is proven by showing liability and damages, or your losses. Liability is divided into three main categories: intentional acts of harm, acts of negligence and strict liability, which means the third party may be liable for damages without negligence or carelessness. This type of case usually applies to defective products and animal injuries, such as dog bites.

Damages can include anything from loss of support from a loved one, property damages, current medical expenses, future medical costs and lost earning potential to lost earnings while you recover, pain and suffering and even a change in your lifestyle.
