What Is a Personal Injury?
You can suffer a personal injury at any time due to the wrongful actions of another person. Most often, a personal injury is of the physical variety. In some rare cases, you may also be able to seek compensation for damages to your emotions. Regardless of how and where you were hurt, there is always the same legal rule that applies in every type of personal injury case. Someone else owes you money when they have caused your injury due to actions that are considered unreasonable under the circumstances.

How Do I Prove a Personal Injury?
Just because you say that something happened does not mean that you are entitled to compensation. In a personal injury case, what matters most is that you are able to prove what happened. The good news is that you do not have to meet the same high standard of proof that a prosecutor does in a criminal case. Nonetheless, you must still have enough evidence to show that the facts that you are alleging or more likely than not to be true.
The problem is that you may not have investigatory skills on your own, and you have a limited amount of time to gather the proof you need to win your case. This is exactly where a personal injury lawyer comes in, provided that you hire them in enough time for them to be effective. Your personal injury attorney can use the following sources to prove liability in your case:
- Testimony from people who saw the accident itself or the conditions in the area before it
- Pictures of the scene of the accident
- Video camera footage of the accident
- The police report written about the accident (although this is not admissible at trial because it is hearsay)
- Testimony from an accident reconstruction expert
How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?
It is critical that you have the same knowledge that the insurance company has about the value of your case. Insurance companies have sophisticated programs that can determine the value of your case immediately. The way that you know how much your case is worth is by hiring a personal injury attorney who can place their own valuation of your case.
Your personal injury compensation consists of both economic and non-economic damages:
- Economic damages include your actual financial losses that include medical expenses and lost wages
- Non-economic damages compensate you for the effects of your injury, and they include pain and suffering and emotional distress
There is a chance that you can receive punitive damages, depending on the level of egregiousness of the defendant’s conduct. These damages can greatly magnify the amount of your compensation.
How to Seek Compensation for Your Personal Injury
The responsible party’s insurance company is the entity that is most likely to have to write a check to you. It is possible to approach them informally in the claims process. You can also send them a more formal demand letter as part of the claims process.
If you sue the responsible party in court, they may be defended by their insurance company, which is under a legal obligation to provide them with an attorney. When you negotiate a settlement to your lawsuit, it would be with the insurance company.
