Boston Personal Injury Case-Do You Have One?

So either you or a loved one has been injured. How do you know if you have case and if you should hire a personal injury lawyer? To help you better understand if you have case and if it would be worth the hassle to pursue, here are three things that you should look for:

1. You have to have been hurt or injured as a result of someone else’s conduct.

  • Only due to the negligence of another person/company/organization, will you be able to have a personal injury case. There has to be someone on the other side responsible for your injury. If there wasn’t, who you would take to court?

2. Liability

  • You can’t be the one responsible in any way for the cause of the accident. As said before, someone other than yourself has to be at fault for causing the accident.

3. You have to be able to collect the money from somewhere.

  • Most often, this requirement is met by insurance companies.

When those three requirements are met, you stand a very good chance of have a personal injury case. Of course, there are other requirements that are specific to certain types of cases, such as medical malpractice and car accidents which you should discuss with your law firm to see if you really do have case.
