Injured? The Law Can Help! Do You Know How?Under the law – negligence, there are several legal remedies available for personal-injury. Some other types of injury such as damages and restitution also come under the purview of negligence. There is another category, malicious injury, committed with malice, hatred or committed spitefully or wantonly. Such an action must be willfully committed with the knowledge that it is liable to cause injury; that is intentional, wrongful and without just cause or excuse, even in the absence of hatred, spite or ill will. Did you get hurt resulting in a personal injury during the last three years? May be it wasn't your fault. If so you may have grounds for a personal injury claim for compensation. Whether your personal injury claim is a result of a car accident, resulting perhaps in a nasty whiplash injury or medical negligence or simply a slip or trip accident at work resulting in a workers compensation claim, Law can provide help. The less severe the injury, the simpler it should be to resolve your Personal Injury Claim. Very many insurance companies are refusing to settle Personal Injury Claims, knowing very well that consumers will have to seek legal assistance from a qualified attorney to collect what is rightfully due. But the insurance company is probably not going to go out of the way trying to be fair with you. It is important that you understand the situation very well when you have a Personal Injury Claim. You are under legal obligation to prove who is responsible for your personal injury. You also have to prove that you were not guilty of any negligence that may have contributed to the personal injury. Then you have to "mitigate" or minimize your damages and prove your damages. Tricky? No, it is not! We know now how to approach to seek justice and our legal obligations. What about the obligations of the insurance company. This part is simple. Once you have proven your case then the “other party's insurance company” has an obligation to protect the interests of their insured by paying for your damages. Did you notice that? The other party’s Insurance Company has no obligation to you! Their obligation is to their own insured. |
