What Are Personal Injury Lawsuits?
Every single wrongdoing ACFW fights falls in the category of personal injury. The difference in cases that are called personal injury versus the ones that are called mass torts is really just a matter of the number of people affected. When the issue is uniquely about one person with a very specific injury, then we call these personal injury lawsuits. Here are some examples:
Chances are, someone you know has had their life changed by a personal injury. That’s why we are here to help people take on the Goliaths. Because someone in your corner can make all the difference.
What Should You Expect from a Personal Injury Lawsuit?
There is an old narrative – that somehow standing up for ourselves isn’t the right choice. That it’s only about the money. Straight talk: When it’s David vs Goliath, who’s rooting for Goliath? Nobody. No one’s ever said; “Oh poor Goliath, he didn’t deserve that.”
Corporate negligence and interference often promote certain disasters. We live in a culture of semi-deregulation, overworked personnel, understaffing, sloppy hiring protocols, corner cutting, and climate change – all of which make labeling natural disasters tougher than ever.1
For example, when investigators found the Potomac River midair collision was likely caused by garbled communications, among other things, the blame game began against the US Army and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), American Airlines, Reagan International Airport, airport management + personnel.2
Please note these key points:
- SOL (statute of limitations). Every state sets its own time limit for how long a hurt individual or victim’s family can speak up – typically a few years from the date of the accident.
- It also helps to understand what the potential outcomes may be in your specific case. Contact us to talk through any questions you may have. The personal injury lawyers we work with can also talk through any details with you + help you understand what to expect from joining a personal injury lawsuit.
In a civil personal injury lawsuit, positive outcomes customarily mean survivors are awarded monetary provision, but each verdict or settlement + the high visibility of media coverage also forces corporations to do better. That is why civil lawsuits matter so much.
How Does a Personal Injury Lawsuit Work?
Civil lawsuits work differently than criminal lawsuits. Criminal law pursues one offender at a time to convict and imprison. Civil law challenges entire industries that choose to deepen their pockets rather than protect the people who lined those pockets – you. Civil cases aim not only to secure financial reconciliation for those harmed, but they can reverse the corner-cutting that would risk more lives in the future.
While no amount of money can touch immeasurable grief or restore a loved one’s heartbeat, personal injury lawsuits can force change.
