Personal Injury - Frequently Asked Questions

A serious injury involving negligence can happen in the workplace, a place of leisure, on the road, in a medical facility, or virtually anywhere else. There are no strict guidelines for what a personal injury is or where it can occur, so if you suffered a significant injury that was due to someone else’s carelessness or willful intent, you may have a personal injury claim.

To give you a better idea of some circumstances that may warrant a personal injury claim, consider the following examples:

• Injury resulting from a defective product.
• Workplace injury.
• Car accident.
• Dog bite.
• A slip and fall accident caused by unsafe conditions.
• Trip and fall accident.
• Exposure to dangerous substances that cause cancer or other illness.
• Fire leading to burns.
• Insufficient security that leads to your being injured.

Your injuries may be the result of different circumstances than those listed above, and you should call a lawyer to discuss your eligibility to bring forth a personal injury claim.

A lawyer may be able to assist you by:

• Helping you identify the liable parties in your case.
• Starting your case as soon as possible.
• Obtaining evidence of wrongdoing by the defendant(s).
• Taking care of every legal responsibility necessary to bring your case to a resolution.
• Protecting your rights throughout the legal process.

Injuries can have a tangible effect on your life, and pursuing financial justice is one way to make yourself whole. If your lawyer can prove negligence, you may be able to collect compensation covering:

• Medical costs related to your injuries.
• Lost wages and diminished earning capacity caused by your injuries.
• Any legal expenses related to your case.
• Pain and suffering.
• Punitive damages.

If your injuries are the result of someone’s negligence, consider that you could collect compensation for your losses. Call us at Ben Crump Law, PLLC today at (844) 638-1822 for a free consultation.
