If you have been injured due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to monetary compensation. As this video explains, a personal injury lawyer can help you claim reparations for both physical and psychological injuries.
Because personal injury laws have a statute of limitations, legal experts advise the injured party to contact a personal injury attorney immediately following the incident. Upon consulting a personal injury lawyer, you may file a suit for medical expenses and missing wages. A personal injury attorney can also help you seek compensation for non-economic losses such as pain and suffering.

A personal injury is an injury that has been sustained due to another person’s negligence. If the liable party has a reasonable expectation of safety or protection toward the injured party but fails to uphold it, he or she is responsible for any injuries suffered as a consequence. The following are a few common circumstances in which individuals who have been physically or psychologically harmed may be eligible to file a personal injury suit. If you have been involved in such an incident, or you believe that you have incurred a personal injury, consult a personal injury lawyer.
Premises Liability
Individuals may suffer great physical harm if they fall or slip while on another person’s property. Commercial entities in particular have a responsibility to maintain their facilities for the safety of their customers. A slip or fall can result in severe head, neck, back, and wrist injuries. An attorney who specializes in personal injury cases can help individuals who have slipped and fallen under these circumstances by determining if the property owner was negligent.
Automobile Accident
Many car collisions happen as the result of driver negligence. A driver may be negligent due to a number of factors, such as distracted driving, intoxicated driving, or reckless driving. Moreover, automobile accidents can cause substantial injury and damage to both the victim and his or her vehicle. To determine if you have a viable personal injury suit as the result of a car collision, contact a personal injury lawyer.
Medical Malpractice
Physicians take an oath to uphold and maintain the health and safety of their patients. However, some doctors do not always abide by that responsibility. As a result, a patient under a negligent physician’s care may suffer significant physical harm. Personal injuries can occur from prescribing the wrong medication for a patient or making a surgical error on the operating table. A personal injury attorney can help a patient seek compensation for any injury sustained.

A personal injury lawyer can provide expert legal counsel to those who have incurred an injury as the result of someone else’s negligence. When preparing to meet with your personal injury attorney for the first time, remember these four key items that will aid in the processing of your claim.
-
Legal Paperwork: If you have been involved in a car accident, slip and fall incident, or other scenario that resulted in personal injury, you should collect all pertinent legal paperwork relating to it. A personal injury attorney will need all police reports that detail the events pertaining to the incident. Many times, these records will indicate negligence on the part of the person who caused the accident.
-
Medical Paperwork: Though a personal injury suit may be brought forth for psychological as well as physical injuries, the overwhelming majority of cases include bodily injury for which medical assistance was and may still be required. To accurately determine the monetary costs that can be claimed in a personal injury claim, a lawyer will need to know the full extent of the physical injuries sustained.
-
Photographs: Visual evidence is highly effective in proving a personal injury case. If possible, take pictures of your injury. In circumstances where the injury was incurred due to dangerous surroundings, such as in a slip and fall situation, take photographs that accurately capture the nature of those surroundings. A personal injury attorney can use these pictures as evidence of negligence.
-
Eyewitness Accounts: Sometimes accidents occur while others are present. Car accidents and slip and fall incidents constitute just two circumstances in which passersby may witness the situation as it unfolds. If possible, document these witnesses’ accounts and bring them to your personal injury lawyer. Should this not be an option, take down all contact information so that your personal injury attorney can contact these individuals at a later time.
The Ladva Law Firm can help if you have sustained an injury as the result of someone else’s negligence. To speak with a personal injury lawyer or wrongful termination lawyer at our office in San Francisco, please call (888) 694-9742.
