In many ways, an accident can be devastating. Whether you’ve broken a bone in a car accident, hurt your back in a slip-and-fall, or suffered any number of personal injuries, a personal injury lawyer can help. 

Following a personal injury, it can be challenging to adapt to the new physical restrictions of your recovery. You may have hospital or doctor’s bills—a financial stressor made worse by time away from work. Finally, dealing with the emotional consequences of knowing your accident was caused by the carelessness of another can leave you despondent. Fortunately, a skilled and experienced personal injury lawyer can help you take action. By filing a civil suit against the at-fault party, you could recover damages for your injuries. The process can be challenging, however—between investigating your case, filing paperwork on time, and even negotiating a fair settlement with the insurance company. Let our Jackson MS personal injury lawyers review your case.

How to File a Personal Injury Claim: Getting Started

Personal injury covers a wide range of physical damages you may endure in an accident. Some personal injuries are minor; others, are more serious. Injuries can also be categorized as short-term or permanent, or total and partial, and this will depend on the new limitations your injury may place on your capacity to earn a living or take care of yourself. Typical examples of personal injuries include:

  • Back, spinal cord, or lumbar injury
  • Lacerations
  • Burns
  • Brain injury
  • Broken or fractured bones
  • And others

Personal injury law – or tort law – is a branch of civil law intended to ensure your rights when you or your property is harmed by someone’s action or lack of action. Personal injury law is focused on negligence and damages: to file a successful claim, you must show that another party acted negligently, which caused your losses.

And what can filing a claim provide you with? Bringing in a personal injury claim allows you to seek financial compensation, called damages, from the at-fault person or group. The extent of damages in a personal injury action is heavily dependent on the type and severity of the damage. Over the years, personal injury claimants have succeeded in obtaining compensation for damages of both economic and non-economic character. Possible damages may include:

  • Loss of income
  • Medical bills, including emergency fees and bills for ongoing treatment 
  • Temporary or permanent disability 
  • Property damages
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Punitive damages

In some cases, it can be difficult to estimate the value of a personal injury claim. A trusted doctor not only helps you receive medical care for your injuries but can also provide an outline of your future medical care. By using that future cost as the pillar, an experienced personal injury lawyer can strengthen your civil discovery case.
