Personal Injury Law: What You Need to Know
Being injured in an accident can be a traumatic and life-changing event. If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. At Herbert Law Group, we specialize in personal injury law, and we’re here to help you navigate the legal landscape and obtain the justice you deserve.
Here’s everything you need to know about personal injury law:
Types of Personal Injury Cases
Personal injury law covers a wide range of cases, but some of the most common include:
– Car accidents: If you’ve been injured in a car accident due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
– Slip and fall accidents: Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere, whether it’s in a store, restaurant, or on public property. If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.
– Medical malpractice: Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional provides substandard treatment, resulting in harm to the patient. Medical malpractice cases can be complex, but our team has the expertise and knowledge to help you navigate the legal system and obtain the compensation you deserve.
– Product liability: Product liability cases arise when a defective or dangerous product causes injury to a consumer. If you’ve been injured by a defective product, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.
Proving Negligence
In order to win a personal injury case, you must prove that the other party was negligent. This means showing that they had a duty of care, that they breached that duty, and that the breach caused your injuries. Proving negligence can be challenging, but our team has the experience and resources to build a strong case on your behalf.
Settlement or Trial
Personal injury cases can be resolved in one of two ways: through a settlement or through a trial. A settlement is an agreement reached between you and the other party’s insurance company, typically for a lump sum payment. Trials are more formal proceedings that take place in court and can be complex and time-consuming.
At Herbert Law Group, we work with our clients to determine the best course of action for their specific case. In some cases, a settlement may be the best option, while in others, a trial may be necessary to obtain the compensation you deserve.
