No one likes to be involved in any type of accident, especially if there are injuries involved. It is even worse when the accident is caused by someone else’s recklessness or negligence. When there are severe injuries resulting from this kind of accident, the injured party may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit.
Who Can File a Personal Injury Claim?
Personal injury claims can be filed by injured parties (or their attorneys) who were injured in an accident caused by another person’s or group’s carelessness or wanton disregard for safety. The purpose of the lawsuit is to hold those responsible for the accident accountable and to return the injured party to a semblance of wholeness. The goal is to obtain monetary compensation for injuries, damages, and losses which can have a devastating impact on the lives of the victims and their families.
How Long Does the Process Take?
The length of time it takes for the entire process of a personal injury claim depends on many factors and issues. Each claim is unique and will have different things to account for and consider before the claim is settled. It takes the experience and skill of a seasoned personal injury attorney to be able to judge how long your individual lawsuit will take to resolve, so it is best to consult with an attorney as soon as possible.
