Ask A Personal Injury Attorney

Do I have a case?

The most important component to any personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit is the ability to prove that the injuries or death was the result of the other party’s negligence. In order to prove this, there are a number of factors that prove negligence on behalf of the at-fault party.

Does the at-fault party have an obligation to ensure your safety?

This is a great question to ask yourself when deciding whether or not you have a valid injury case. In other words, did the person who caused the accident act in a reasonable or prudent manner in order to avoid causing an accident? An example of this would be how safely a motorist is operating their vehicle at the time of an accident so that they aren’t causing harm to others.

A personal injury attorney will then look at what actions the other party took to avoid the accident from happening. Just how negligent were their actions? Were they being reckless or engaging in behavior that would be considered dangerous by law.

What compensation can I expect from a personal injury settlement?

Julie A. Kays will work to get you the appropriate level of damages for the loss you sustained. A seasoned personal injury attorney will look at both current and future issues that compromise your life as well as any loss of income due to an injury or wrongful death. She will also be sure to factor in the pain and suffering you endured as a result of the at-fault party’s negligence. Because each personal injury case is complex, compensation will look different based on your specific case.
