Personal injury lawyers represent victims who's lives have been affected by car crashes, medical errors or workplace injuries. They help them recover the financial compensation they deserve for their injuries and losses. Your attorney will ask for documents like police or accident reports; medical bills and records; school and employment information, as well as any other documentation that is relevant. Liability Analysis When an attorney for personal injury takes on the case, they begin by determining the theories of the liability. It depends on the incident nature and the circumstances. The three most common theories of liability in personal injury cases are negligence or strict liability, and breach of warranty. Negligence claims arise when a defendant fails act with the same level of care and caution as a reasonable individual in similar circumstances. Examples of negligent conduct include driving a vehicle while impaired by alcohol or drugs, recklessness, failure to wear safety equipment, and not keeping roads in good condition. If the attorney believes the party at fault can be held responsible, they will begin negotiating a financial agreement. It could be necessary to provide evidence, such as medical records, police reports and witness statements, to the insurance company. They will also gather information about the injured party's future medical expenses as well as lost wages and other damages. In most cases, the insurance company will negotiate an acceptable settlement. If not, the insurance company will prepare for trial and file a lawsuit against the any responsible party. He will also make sure that all evidence is ready for the court. They will also inform their client of any witnesses they plan to call and may hire expert witnesses to describe the details of the case that they cannot explain on their own.
