When you get injured, the dizzying combination of emergency room treatments, police reports, and insurance claims can feel overwhelming, especially since all you want is to feel better. Yet, one of the most important decisions you will make after an accident is whether to sue for personal injury. Here’s what you should know about when you should meet with a lawyer to discuss your personal injury claim or lawsuit.

Serious Injuries

You are within your rights to seek compensation when you sustain serious injuries because of another person or business, whether the injuries were intentional or due to negligence. When filing your case, you should be able to provide proof of your injury, such as with pictures, police reports, and emergency room documents.  Car accidents and Medical cases can cause serious injuries and could also be considered personal injury cases. 

Severe Emotional Distress & Missed Work Time

If your injury caused you to miss time from work while you recover, resulting in emotional distress and loss of wages, it’s possible you could be compensated for your financial losses as well.  Hiring an attorney would relieve some of that stress by handling those additional claims and working with the insurance adjusters on your behalf.  If you or someone you know has been injured, you should seek professional legal advice as soon as possible.
