It is a fundamental principle of our legal system that anyone injured by the careless or negligent actions of another may present a claim for damages to the party responsible for the injury. If the two parties cannot reach an agreement on the settlement of the claim, the person injured has the right to file a lawsuit with a court asking the court to determine the amount of damages and then order the responsible party to pay the damage claim.

The Process for Claiming Damages After an Accidental Injury Is Essentially the Same Regardless of Where the Injury Occurs.

• An accident occurs which results in an injury
• A determination of “fault” or “liability” is made
• The injured party presents a claim for damages to the party responsible for those damages
• If the parties cannot agree on the amount of damages to be paid, the injured party can file a lawsuit asking a court to compel the payment of damages.

Although the steps outlined above may seem quite simple, in the “real world” that simplicity is rarely seen. Most interactions between the person injured and the person responsible for the injury are carried out through an employee of an insurance company that is ultimately responsible for paying a damage claim. It is up to the person who was injured to either deal directly with the insurance carrier or to find a representative of their own.

Since most people are unaware of their rights regarding their accidental injury, it is wise to select an accident lawyer who will protect his client’s best interests and make sure the client receives a fair compensation for their injury. Unfortunately, most people have no experience selecting an accident attorney.
