Your Personal Injury Case Has Legs!
Your personal injury claim is a lot like a three-legged bar stool. A bar stool that is missing one of its legs is useless. It will not stand on its own. A personal injury claim is similar in that it has three essential elements that must be present to be a doable case. Each of the three legs of a personal injury case stand for one of the required elements.
- LEG ONE – Ask yourself, “Was my wreck or accident caused by someone or something else?” It could be another person, company, consumer product, road, sidewalk, space alien, etc. There are a number of personal injury claims that can fit any particular story. Car wrecks, truck wrecks, products liability, and wrongful death are just a few.
- LEG TWO – Next, ask “Did I suffer any injuries in the wreck or accident?” It goes without saying that a person must have an injury to pursue a personal injury claim! Injuries come in many forms, however. There are physical injuries, emotional injuries, and monetary injuries just to name a few.
- LEG THREE – Finally, ask the question that ties it all together. “Could my injuries have been the result of the wreck or accident caused by someone or something else?” In legal speak, we call this the causation element. It is the link between your injuries and the accident or wreck.
Was your answer to all three questions “Yes”? Your personal injury claim can likely stand, if so. If you have questions about any of your answers to any of these questions, you should contact a personal injury attorney.
