PERSONAL INJURY
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS & GET THE LEGAL SUPPORT YOU NEED
An accident can be a life-altering event. One moment, you're a perfectly abled person living your best life; the next moment, you're incapacitated due to injuries caused by someone's negligence. Add to this already difficult situation the stressful and wicked tactics of insurance companies, who always try to undervalue claims and have you settle for lowball offers. So, you must understand the specifics surrounding personal injury, especially if you wish to file a claim and improve the quality of your life, obtaining fair compensation.
PERSONAL INJURY LAW: A QUICK OVERVIEW
Personal injury law is a critical domain that focuses on providing justice and compensation to those who've suffered injuries due to the negligence or actions of others. The suffering isn't just limited to immediate physical harm. The aftermath often includes hefty medical bills, ongoing rehabilitative care, lost earnings, and anticipated future income losses. Furthermore, there can be an intangible yet profound impact of pain, emotional distress, and suffering. This, too, warrants due attention and support.
KEY ASPECTS OF PERSONAL INJURY
Personal injury law encompasses multiple situations in which you can suffer due to:
- Someone else's negligence
- Strict liability
- Intentional actions
For a claim to be valid, your chosen attorney must prove that the defendant acted negligently, there's intentional harm involved, or there's a use of the defective product(s).
Some of the common cases of personal injury include:
- Auto Accidents
- Medical Malpractice
- Wrongful Death
- Nursing Home Negligence
- Slip, Trip, and Fall Accidents
- Workplace Accidents
- Dog Bites
- Product Liability
- Premises Liability
- Class Action/ Mass Torts
- Pedestrian Accidents
This isn't an exhaustive list, but it highlights the key areas a reputable legal firm such as ours can help you with. Each claim has unique rules and processes, and an expert can represent your best interests.
PURSUING COMPENSATION
If you're injured and you wish to go ahead with filing a claim, you can be eligible for the following damages:
- Lost wages
- Medical expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Property damage
In North Carolina, particularly, there's no cap on compensatory damages. But punitive damages, meant to punish the defendant, are three times the amount of compensatory damages or $250,000, whichever is greater.
ROLE OF AN ATTORNEY
If you're in North Carolina, there's a strict rule of contributory negligence. So, even if you're at a 1% fault, you'll be barred from retrieving any damages. Plus, there's a three-year window from the accident date to file a lawsuit. This is where the role of an attorney becomes indispensable. Choosing the right legal ally can set the trajectory of your recovery journey. Our team at Wanjohi & Muli Law Firm PLLC can help you expedite your claim and obtain the desired results.
