Do You Need a Charlottesville Personal Injury Lawyer?

Although you might consider pursuing your personal injury claim on your own, a Charlottesville personal injury lawyer from Lichtenstein Law Group PLC can help give you the best chance at recovering maximum compensation. Whether you receive compensation and the amount of compensation you obtain will ultimately depend on the strength of your legal argument and the compensation available in your case. 

To pursue maximum compensation, you must be able to: 

  • Show that the other party is at fault for your injuries and losses, using the evidence you’ve gathered.
  • Calculate and document the full extent of your expenses and losses, including non-economic losses and future anticipated expenses and losses.
  • Pursue all avenues for compensation, including filing claims with every available source of insurance coverage

Charlottesville personal injury lawyer can ensure you have an effective, persuasive legal claim that will help you to pursue compensation through a settlement or at trial.

What Are Your Legal Options After a Personal Injury Accident? 

If you were injured in an accident in Charlottesville or surrounding areas of Virginia, your legal options for recovering financial compensation for your losses include pursuing an insurance settlement or filing a lawsuit against the party or parties liable for your injuries and losses. 

Pursuing an injury claim settlement usually involves filing a claim with the insurance companies for the parties at fault for your injuries. Once the insurance company receives a claim, they will investigate to determine whether they will accept liability, and if so, how much they believe the claim is worth. That begins the negotiation process, where both sides try to reach a compensation figure that both you and the insurer can accept.

If settlement negotiations cannot resolve your personal injury claim, your next legal option involves filing a lawsuit against the party or parties responsible for your injuries and losses. At this stage, you may still be able to negotiate a settlement with the insurer before the case goes to trial. 

How Do I Know If I Have an Injury Case?

You may have a viable personal injury case if you can prove that another party engaged in reckless or negligent behavior, which means they failed to use reasonable care and caution to avoid injuring others. 

You must also prove that the other party’s negligence or recklessness caused your injuries. In other words, you would not have been injured but for the other party’s actions or their failure to act.

Finally, you must show that you have suffered some form of loss for which you can collect financial compensation, such as medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, or reduced quality of life.

What Damages Are Available for My Injuries?

If you were injured in an accident someone else caused in Charlottesville, you may be able to secure compensation for the expenses and losses you have incurred, such as:

  • Medical treatment and rehabilitation, including for emergency medical treatment and hospitalization, surgeries and other procedures, occupational and physical therapy, prescriptions, or purchases of medical devices and equipment
  • Long-term care for permanent disabilities or medical conditions, including home health services or assisted living facility costs
  • Loss of income from missed work while treating your injuries
  • Loss of future earning capacity if you are permanently disabled from going back to your pre-injury job and hours
  • Physical pain and anguish
  • Emotional trauma and distress from the accident and your injuries and subsequent medical recovery
  • Loss of enjoyment or quality of life due to permanent scarring, disfigurement, or disabilities
