After you get hurt, the other party’s insurance company will likely contact you. Their job is to protect their company’s bottom line, which often means paying you as little as possible. A personal injury lawyer works for you. They level the playing field by calculating the complete financial impact of your injury. This includes future costs like ongoing therapy, lost earning ability, and compensation for your pain and suffering.
Personal injury attorneys gather evidence, speak with witnesses, and build a solid case based on the facts. We take the pressure off you, so your main job can be recovery. Having a legal professional handle the communications and negotiations of personal injury claims gives you the same powerful advantage that you come to expect from Robinson Law LLC.
You may wonder if your situation warrants legal action. The attorneys Paula refers you to can handle a wide range of incidents where someone’s carelessness or negligence caused harm. We make it our goal to hold the responsible party accountable for the consequences of their actions.
Personal injury lawyers can assist you with many types of claims, including:
The moments following an accident are often confusing, but the actions you take can protect both your health and your potential claim. Your first and most important step should always be to seek medical attention. Even if you feel fine, some injuries are not immediately apparent. A medical evaluation creates an official record that links your injuries directly to the incident. You should also report the accident to the proper authorities, like calling the police for a car crash or notifying the manager after a slip and fall in a store.
Next, you should try to document everything you can while the details are still fresh. Use your phone to take pictures of the scene, your injuries, the property damage, and any other relevant details. If there were people who saw what happened, get their contact information. Their statements could be very valuable down the road. It is also a good idea to start a folder where you can keep all related paperwork, such as medical records, receipts, and any letters from an insurance company.
Finally, you need to protect your legal rights. Be very careful what you say to the other party or their insurance adjuster. You should avoid giving a recorded statement until you have legal guidance. Do not apologize or admit any fault, as these statements can be used against you. The most protective step you can take is to contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. We can advise you on how to proceed and can take over communications with the insurance companies on your behalf.
For a personal injury case to succeed, you must prove the other party was negligent. Negligence means they had a duty to act with reasonable care, they failed in that duty, and their failure directly caused your injuries. For example, a driver has a duty to follow traffic laws. A property owner has a duty to fix a broken stair in a reasonable time. Failure to fulfill these duties can lead to a premises liability or accident claim.
Pennsylvania follows a “modified comparative negligence” rule. This means you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. If a court finds you are more than 50% responsible for the accident, you cannot collect any damages. Talk to Paula Robinson today and work with a legal team that is truly on your side. We can work together to build a case to show the other party holds the majority of the blame.
Getting hurt is overwhelming. We are all human beings, and it’s important to know that it is perfectly okay to ask for and receive help when you are facing a difficult recovery. You do not have to carry this burden by yourself. Paula Robinson and everyone who partners with Robinson Law LLC make it a mission to effectively manage your case and fight for the compensation you need.
