Were you recently injured in an accident in Baraboo? This could be anything from a car or pedestrian accident to a slip and fall.
Although you may feel that you are in position to file a lawsuit to receive compensation for injuries and other losses, here is the question you need to answer: how are you going to determine legal liability?
Generally speaking, the majority of accidents occur when somebody is careless. If the actions of one person caused injury to another, that person must pay for some or all of the damages suffered by the injured party.
Leave it up to a Personal Injury Attorney
After an accident in which you were injured, it is common to want to investigate the finer details on your own. While there is nothing wrong with collecting evidence and learning more about what happened, you don’t want to wait too long to hire a personal injury attorney.
Tip: you should never speak with an insurance company or other party regarding your accident until you have an attorney working on your behalf.
More than One Person at Fault?
In the event that more than one person is responsible for the accident and related injuries, such as in a multi-vehicle accident, the law in your state will determine who should compensate you for damages. Again, this is something a personal injury attorney can explain to you, based on your location as well as the details surrounding the accident.
On the surface, it may sound simple to determine legal liability in an accident. However, this is easier said than done. You cannot simply assume that the negligent party (and insurance company) is going to admit their wrongdoing, knowing that it will cost them.
An experienced and knowledgeable Baraboo personal injury attorney should be able to review your case and begin the process of determining who is legally responsible for your accident and injuries. Krueger Hernandez & Thompson SC is Real Lawyers for Real People. WE LISTEN. WE CARE. WE GET RESULTS.
