Filing a personal injury claim
In order to win your personal injury claim, you must first prove another person or entity was at fault for your injury. If you can establish liability the responsible party may have to compensate you for your injuries and related suffering. We may be able to determine how much your personal injury claim might be worth.
The three grounds you can file a personal injury claim under include the following:
- Negligence. This means someone acted or failed to act in a particular way, and as a result your accident occurred.
- Intentional wrong. This means the party acted deliberately, such as in the case of an assault or burglary. In intentional wrong cases, you may be entitled to punitive damages as well.
- Strict liability. This law protects consumers from being harmed by defective products.
After establishing the grounds for your claim, you then have to prove that you suffered from physical, emotional, or mental harm as a result of the accident. This process can be stressful and complicated. Many variables may be factored in when determining the amount of compensation you should be awarded, if any at all. It is highly recommended that you seek the counsel of a reputable Charleston personal injury law firm such as Grimball & Cabaniss, LLC.
