The Personal Injury Claims Process
If you have been injured in an accident and are filing a personal injury claim, there are a few things you should know about the personal injury claims process. Consider the following:
- There is typically a two-year statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim. That means you typically have two years from the date of your injury to file your claim. After that, you may be prohibited from taking legal action. Statute of limitations calculations can be complicated; a qualified lawyer can help.
- Once a lawsuit is filed, both sides (plaintiff and defendant) will have an opportunity to present evidence, review evidence, ask questions, and request answers. This process can take quite some time. Be patient during this process, and remember that you can always ask your lawyer questions along the way.
- Insurance companies may offer a settlement, but you should not accept one without first contacting a personal injury lawyer. Insurance adjusters will often low-ball victims, offering a claim that is much less than what you deserve.
- Many personal injury claims are settled before going to court. At The Dixon Firm, P.C. we build every case so that whether we settle or take your case to trial, we are prepared to fight for your rights.
What Can I Recover in a Personal Injury Lawsuit?
Depending on the type of accident and the severity of your injuries, you may be able to recover damages for:
- Current medical expenses
- Anticipated future medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Loss of earning capacity
- Mental anguish
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent disability
- Disfigurement
- Property damage
These are some examples of the common damages pursued in a personal injury claim. The type of damages that you can pursue will depend on the facts of your case. As noted before, every case is unique.
