Your life after being injured in a serious accident could be dramatically different than it was prior to the incident in question. If someone else is liable for the cause of your injuries, they should be compelled to compensate you for their negligent actions.
Thankfully, you will have the opportunity to bring them to justice when you pursue a personal injury claim. Continue reading to learn more about the steps you’ll take to begin the claims process.
Any time you’ve suffered a debilitating injury in an accident caused through the fault of another, your first call should be to your lawyer. The statute of limitations starts running from the day of the accident and only continues for four years. Once that time has passed, if your claim hasn’t been filed, you’ll no longer have the legal right to file your lawsuit.
Your Tampa lawyer will be able to begin working on your case once you come in for your consultation. Having an attorney represent your case can make all the difference in its outcome, as your lawyer will have experience gathering evidence, establishing fault, and assisting injury victims in getting the most for their claims—all of which are necessary to the success of your personal injury claim.
Though you may have an idea of the monetary value of your damages, including lost wages, property damages, and medical bills, there are several other types of losses you could be entitled to, such as lost enjoyment of life, pain and suffering, inconvenience, emotional distress, lost earning capacity, and loss of companionship and love, to name a few.
Fortunately, your lawyer will ensure that every loss you’ve endured has been taken into consideration as they work to determine how much your claim is worth. This will be done early on, as you’ll need to know how much you’ll be seeking as you begin negotiations with the insurance company and/or prepare to go to court.
