Typically, your lawyer will consider a few critical questions in deciding whether you may have a case. These questions usually focus on the evidence, if negligent behavior cased your injuries, and if you suffered harm:
Is any evidence that the party responsible for the accident was careless or reckless?
For example, if you were hit by a drunk driver or a driver who ran a red light, this may be evidence of negligence that means you have a case for a car accident injury.
Did this negligent behavior cause your injuries?
This could require showing that none of your injuries would have happened if the other party had not behaved negligently and caused the accident.
Did you actually suffer harm?
Medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering all help satisfy this element of a personal injury claim.
Ultimately, to know whether you may have a personal injury case, you should contact an experienced personal injury lawyer like Michael J. Brennan to discuss your accident and whether you may have a case. Get started with your case review, today.
