Frequently Asked Questions

What happens in a personal injury claim?

A personal injury claim begins when someone alleges that your actions caused their injuries. They send a demand letter or file a personal injury lawsuit. You must respond to the claim and either settle or defend in personal injury court.

What happens if someone files a claim against me?

Contact your insurance company immediately and make sure to hire an attorney without delay. Don’t communicate with the plaintiff directly. Gather evidence supporting your defense and investigate whether they share fault in the personal injury case.

What Legal Action Can Be Taken If Someone Files Personal Injury Claims against you?

Plaintiffs seek economic damages (medical bills, lost wages), non-economic damages (pain and suffering), and rarely punitive damages. Actions depend on allegations and applicable requirements of the Personal Injuries Proceedings Act.

How to defend against a personal injury claim?

Document everything related to the incident. Work with insurance and hire your own attorney. Prepare for personal injury litigation with expert witnesses if needed.
