If you recently sustained injuries in an accident caused by the negligence of another person or entity, you may have plans to file a personal injury law case. At the office of Jones, Childers, Donaldson & Webb, PLLC, we are here to help you with this process and protect your right to fair and proper compensation.
We know that many misconceptions about personal injury law cases currently exist, and we want to provide further information before you turn to us to work on your case:
- You cannot sue for any injury — Many people believe they can only sue for severe injuries. However, you can pursue claims for a wide range of injuries, including emotional distress and minor physical injuries.
- All personal injury law cases go to trial — Many claims are settled outside of court, and only a small percentage of personal injury cases actually end up going to trial.
- You do not need an attorney — While it is possible to handle a claim on your own, having an experienced attorney can improve your chances of securing a favorable outcome.
- You must have a permanent injury — People often think they can only file a claim for permanent injuries. But even temporary injuries can warrant compensation, especially if they lead to lost wages or medical expenses.
- You have unlimited time to file a personal injury law claim —There are statutes of limitations that limit the time you have to file a personal injury claim. If you were in an accident, it is critical to act within this timeframe.
