Personal Injury

Personal InjuryAdvocating for Victims of Injuries

If you have suffered an injury due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. Many injuries have lasting impacts whether from a slip and fall, or a catastrophic motor vehicle accident, and what seem like minor injuries can turn out to have long term effects that impact your earning capacity. If you decide to seek damages for your injuries, the compensation you could be awarded may include amounts to cover the following:

  • Medical treatment
  • Income including both past and future earnings
  • Property loss
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of enjoyment
  • Punitive damages in the case of gross negligence

After you experience an accident or injury, if possible take detailed notes about what happened because you may need them when you bring a claim for personal injury. Write down everything about your injuries and how they affect your daily life. Preserve any evidence that you can and take photos to document your evidence. See a medical professional about your injuries and receive copies of your medical records. Finally, send written notice of the accident and your injuries to anyone who may be responsible.

The statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim generally begins when you are injured or discover the injury. If you are unsure of your legal options, it is important to seek the advice of a dedicated Delaware County personal injury lawyer who can provide counsel.
