Car accidents, slip and falls, defected products, and abuse are just some of the ways you could suffer injuries due to someone else’s wrongful behavior. When someone harms you, you could seek justice through the civil claims process. Filing an insurance claim or lawsuit could bring you financial compensation to pay for all the losses you are dealing with.
You could be in severe pain, struggling to overcome your injuries. If you cannot work due to your injuries, you may be struggling to pay your medical bills. Stress and anxiety are building due to the weight of the aftermath of an injury caused by someone else.
You did not deserve to be hurt. Whoever caused you such suffering should be held liable for their actions. A Beaver personal injury lawyer can work to get you reimbursed. At Berger and Green, we fight for our clients’ rights. Call (412) 661-1400 for a free case evaluation.
People can be hurt in different ways, even when they are careful. You cannot control other people’s actions, and you can be hurt because others are not watching out for your safety. When someone does not fulfill their duties as they should in the given situations, this is referred to as negligence, as per the Legal Information Institute (LII).
For example, you could be walking in a crosswalk, following the traffic signals, when a driver hits you with their vehicle. Sadly, accidents happen all the time that could be avoided with just a little more caution. Civil claims allow victims to hold drivers accountable for their negligence.
A Beaver personal injury lawyer from our firm can help you file a claim against whoever caused your accident. We can work to prove fault, prove your damages, and win you compensation. You can reach Berger and Green by dialing (412) 661-1400. Call today.
In the meantime, here is some information on the types of cases we handle:
It can help ease your mind when facing the prospect of filing a personal injury claim or lawsuit if you know the basic steps to the process.
The process begins by looking at the cause of your accident and figuring out who caused it in the first place. Finding out the cause of the accident helps you establish the person who is legally responsible.
You need to find evidence to prove fault. For instance, if you were hurt in a slip and fall accident at a grocery store, take photos of the spill that caused you to slip. Those photos can later serve as evidence. Other types of evidence that can help prove your case include statements from witnesses, video footage of the accident, police or accident reports, medical evidence, documentation, and more.
Whether filing a claim or lawsuit, you must complete paperwork and submit it to the appropriate place. If you are filing a lawsuit, you must do so with the right court, using the correct documents. Claims also have requirements, and these steps must be completed accurately for your case to move forward.
You will be negotiating with insurance companies for fair compensation. Many personal injury cases are settled with insurers out of court. An attorney can work with the insurance companies on your behalf.
Trial can be a stressor for many injury victims, but you have nothing to worry about. Your lawyer can fully prepare you for trial should that step be necessary. We can fight your case in court if that is what it takes to win fair compensation. You should not apologize for seeking compensation from someone who hurt you.
If you have been hurt in an accident, you already understand how much an injury can impact your life. It can cause you to struggle financially, physically, and emotionally. For instance, you could be dealing with medical bills and severe physical pain that limits your ability to have the best quality of life possible.
Here are some compensatory damages:
You have two years in Pennsylvania to file a personal injury lawsuit, according to 42 PA Consolidated Statutes Annotated (CSA) §5524. You should get started as soon as possible. Important evidence could be lost in time if you wait.
