You have a negligence claim in a “fault” state if you are injured by a driver who failed to exercise reasonable care because drivers have a duty to exercise reasonable care anytime they are on the road. When they breach that duty and your injury results, personal injury law says you can recoup your losses. (Note, though, that the system may be very different in states that have passed no-fault laws.)\n\nNegligence reaches far beyond claims stemming from car accidents. It is the basis for liability in most personal injury lawsuits, including medical malpractice.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What happens if I file a lawsuit?” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ custom_margin=”10px||10px||true” custom_padding=”30px||30px||true” open=”off”]You become the plaintiff in the case and the person who injured you becomes the defendant. Lawyers for each side (and for the insurer) typically begin gathering facts through the exchange of documents, written questions (interrogatories) or depositions (questions that are asked in person and answered under oath). This process is called discovery. After discovery, many cases get settled before trial. Only a small percentage of personal injury actions ever go to trial.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What does it mean to settle a case?” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ open=”off”] Settling a case means that you agree to accept money in return for dropping your action against the person who injured you. You’ll actually sign a release absolving the other side of any further liability. To help you decide whether to accept the settlement offer, your lawyer will be able to provide a realistic assessment of whether a lawsuit based on your claim will be successful. (Settlement also can take place at any point in a lawsuit once it is filed, including before trial or even after a case has been tried but before a jury reaches a verdict.) The decision to accept a settlement offer is yours, not the lawyer’s.<\/p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Does a personal injury lawsuit have to be filed within a certain amount of time?” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ open=”off”]Every state has certain time limits, called “statutes of limitations,” that govern the period during which you must file a personal injury lawsuit. In some states, for example, you may have as little as one year to file a lawsuit from an automobile accident. If you miss the statutory deadline for filing a case, your case is thrown out of court.[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section

We don\u2019t \u201cpawn\u201d you off on a secretary or paralegal. I personally handle each and every case. Every client gets my cell phone number and is encouraged to call me whenever necessary. That\u2019s the difference really between me and the billboard law firms that have to spend millions on advertising. Remember we deal with every aspect of law from personal injury to corporate law jupiter. I personally handle each and every case. When you hire me, you get me. That\u2019s why my work speaks for itself and always will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t go it alone.
