Settlement for injuries sustained from a Motor Vehicle Accident

In a personal injury case, the goal is to undo the harm done to the extent that that is possible. While physical injuries cannot be reversed, the cost of healing those injuries can be paid back to you, as can additional damages to compensate you for the injury. Alongside other economic damages, there are potentially very high damages available for your injury case.

Our lawyers can help you understand what your case is worth, file insurance claims and lawsuits with the proper parties, and seek to have your damages paid in full. When we handle your case for you, you can focus on healing and getting your life back on track while we focus on the legal issues and cases.

When to File a Personal Injury Case in Breinigsville

Personal injury cases can be filed for many different kinds of accidental and intentional injuries. However, there are some requirements that have to be met for you to file, and there are important timing considerations.

Requirements

For you to have a case, you first need someone to hold responsible. If you caused your own accident or the accident was unavoidable, there is no one to sue (though some insurance policies might still cover you, like your no-fault car insurance). Otherwise, you need to be able to point to a person or company that failed to uphold a legal duty they owed you, resulting in your injuries.

Second, you need to be able to gather enough evidence to prove that breach of duty. For example, security camera footage, witness testimony, and medical records – along with your own testimony – are some of the most common pieces of proof you will use in your case.

Third, you need to make sure that any other liable parties are also included. Some injury cases involve more than one party who shares fault. This can be multiple actors who were present at the scene of the accident and helped cause it or parties who were not there but still played a role. For example, a trucking company might be liable for its driver’s crash, and a product manufacturer might be liable for a defective product injury even if they were not present at all.

Timing

Before even filing your case, you should contact a personal injury lawyer as early as you can after your injury. This might mean calling in the days after the accident while you are still in the hospital or within a few days of your release. It will take our law offices time to research the facts of your case, determine which parties to sue, build evidence against them, send letters to relevant parties to preserve additional evidence (e.g., security footage), and ultimately prepare the case for filing.

All in all, the case needs to be filed before the “statute of limitations” passes. For injury cases in Pennsylvania, this usually means you have 2 years from the date of injury to get your case filed.

The length of your case from the initial injury to ultimately getting paid for your damages can be quite a long time in some cases, especially if big companies or multiple parties are involved. Many cases can be settled within a year or two, but in the meantime, insurance claims may help cover some medical bills or lost earnings. Additionally, our legal fees are often paid through the winnings in your case, leaving you little or no legal costs to pay for up front, avoiding any additional financial burdens while you bring your case.

Kinds of Injuries You Can Sue for in Breinigsville, PA

All kinds of accidents can happen in and around Breinigsville. From slip and falls to other injuries on other peoples’ property to auto accidents on Route 222 to workplace injuries, you may be injured in a split second without even knowing you were in danger. No matter what kind of accident or injury you faced, our lawyers can help you seek compensation for it.

Many accidents involve somewhat minor injuries, such as cuts and scrapes. For example, falling down might involve a skinned knee, and a defective product might cut you and require stitches. Especially when scarring results or when medical care is involved, even somewhat minor injury cases can still involve somewhat substantial damages.

Moderate injuries, such as back injuries, broken bones, and concussions, can be the kind of thing you recover from in a few months at the worst in many cases, but these injuries inherently result in much more severe restrictions, potentially resulting in lost wages at work. They also require more expensive medical treatment, sometimes requiring surgery and expensive scans.

More severe injuries can even be completely life-altering. Amputations from car crashes, spinal injuries from a fall from heights, traumatic brain injuries from a fall on an icy sidewalk, and more can all require long-term medical care, surgical intervention, ongoing physical therapy, and extended pain and suffering.

We generally talk about “accidents,” referring to things like fall down accidents, car crashes, and structural collapses, but injuries can also result from more concrete mistakes and oversights. Some traffic accidents hardly feel like “accidents” when caused by drunk or reckless driving. Medical malpractice injuries result from doctors’ carelessness and oversight rather than “accidental” mistakes. Furthermore, injuries at work often result from failing to follow safety protocols or defective safety gear that should have never been put into service.

Suing vs. Filing with Insurance for Injuries in Breinigsville

When it comes to the best way of getting compensation for your injuries, there may be a combination of insurance policies that could cover some of your damages. Ultimately, a lawsuit is often a great route to compensation, given that it puts the decision in the hands of neutral parties instead of insurance. In many cases, settlements can be achieved after filing in court, but without actually going to trial, and our lawyers can guide you through the process of how to file and where to file for damages in your case.
