If you have been seriously injured in an accident because of the negligence of another party, Khavinson & Mandronico, P.C. has the personal injury law experience necessary to help you secure the compensation you deserve. Personal injury law is a broad category of law that covers any situation in which one party might be liable for the injury of another party.
Some examples of personal injury cases include, but are not limited to:
People who are injured in serious accidents often suffer serious physical, emotional, and economic consequences. Victims not only have to deal with the pain of being injured, but also often suffer a temporary or permanent decrease in bodily function, lost wages, high medical bills, increased insurance premiums, loss of enjoyment of life, emotional trauma, and more. Personal injury law exists to give victims a legal path to seek compensation for these difficulties from the responsible party.
It is essential to have expert legal representation when pursuing a personal injury case. The burden of proof is almost always on the injured party who is suing the defendant for compensation, and you need an experienced professional to help you prove your case.
While the exact details of how you meet the burden of proof vary based on the type of personal injury case, there are three main things you can do to maximize your chances of winning compensation.
Document your accident and injuries as much as possible to create a paper trail of evidence that you can later use to prove your case. This includes taking photos of the scene of the accident, seeking immediate medical care to create medical reports about your injuries, collecting witness statements, and any other evidence you can collect.
Avoid posting on social media about your accident so you do not accidentally show or say anything that contradicts any future testimony about your injuries or accident. It is generally a good idea to take a break from social media as much as possible while your personal injury lawsuit is going on.
Seek out expert legal representation as soon as possible if you are suffering from a serious injury after an accident. A personal injury attorney is a critical member of your team from day one when you’re looking for compensation.
