If you’ve come to harm and believe another person is to blame, you may consider filing a personal injury claim. Should your case be a success, you will receive damages that can cover everything from medical expenses to wages lost due to time off work. Just how can you know if you have a good case? Read on to find out.

3 Ways to Know If You’re Eligible for Personal Injury Compensation

1. Another Person’s Negligence Is At Fault

The key to winning any personal injury case is proving that someone else is to blame for the incident that brought you harm. Whether it’s the neighbor who let their dog loose or a driver who was texting and running a red light, there are many types of negligence. If the other person made a decision or took an action—or failed to take an action—that led to your being harmed, you have a strong cause for filing a personal injury claim.

2. You Have Suffered Physical & Emotional Distress

Keep in mind this doesn’t just mean physical injuries; it also applies to emotional distress. From insomnia to post-traumatic stress disorder, experiencing bodily harm can have an array of emotional consequences as well.

3. You Can’t Work

Your claim can also encompass the consequences of your physical and mental distress, such as wages lost due to inability to work. Some injuries can lead to such severe lifestyle changes, they may even keep you from returning to your usual form of employment permanently. This can also add to the value of your case.
