Before you could make a choice as to if you must hire a personal injury lawyer / attorney, you first need to know exactly what a personal injury case is.

Most people think that your own injury claim is just a car or motor vehicle accident claim. There are many other issues that also fall under that heading, while an injury sustained within an car accident where still another was to blame would be a personal injury claim.

A personal injury attorney / lawyer manages matters where there has been a injury, either physical or mental accident insurance discussions, that was due to the negligence of another. If there was no negligence then there's no case. There must be neglect, whether intentional or accidental, on the section of another, for a claim to be appropriate. Put simply, you'd have difficulty creating a situation against your landlord, where you spilled water on your own kitchen floor and then slipped and fell because of the water. However, if the landlord had did not repair the plumbing under your sink and the water was on to the floor because of leaky plumbing then you definitely may, I say may, have an incident. There are other variables which could come right into play and you would need to seek the advice of a good personal injury lawyer, to be able to determin your rights.

There are many matters apart from car accident matters that will many times be incorporated under personal injury, IE: falls and falls, workplace accidents (after a workplace accident you may be covered under personnel compensation or disability but you may likewise have a injury claim), injuries caused within a storm or power outage, plane, bus and train accidents, design accidents, fires, food poisoning, drug or vitamin overdoses, dog attacks, getting take down, robbed or otherwise hurt inside or beyond a company, medical malpractice and even malpractice by an attorney.

There are many variables that can come into play in identifying negligence and many times it may seem that there was no negligence on the section of anyone when there actually was. In which a party was struck with a car while riding a bike and injured severely I myself, know of a case. He settled with the driver and the driver's insurance business for the $100,000.00 maximum of the driver's insurance policy. This settlement didn't even commence to cover his medical bills. Some time later, your own injury lawyer, while addressing a part of the injured party's family, found about the situation and was expected to look into it for the family. The injured party was paralyzed and broke. The attorney did some checking and then decided that, although the man had accepted the settlement, there might be a case. He then used my detective agency and another to do further research. Finally, he filed a suit against the individuals insurance carrier, the vehicle driver, the motorcycle company and others. I will not get into the entire case, but suffice it to say he visited trial and ended up receiving a judgment against several of the parties, like the individuals insurance company and the motorcycle maker, for several million dollars and the injured party isn't any longer broke. I may add that the lawyer took the case on contingency and higher level, out of their own pocket, every one of the costs including court costs and investigation expenses.

The purpose of this is that if you've been wounded, you should seek the assistance of a qualified injury lawyer even if you do not think that there is anybody at fault. Merely a good experienced personal injury attorney may try to make that determination.
