Q: What should I do if I want to file a personal injury claim?
A: First you need to gather your thoughts. Start a journal and write down everything you remember from just before your injury accident to the present time. You want to include your feelings at the time of the accident, what injuries you immediately noticed; if you were treated by a physician, the names and addresses of all doctors and medical care personnel that treated you, what the doctor(s) said about your injuries and future treatment. You should also obtain copies of your medical bills and records you have incurred as a result of your personal injury accident. Once everything is together, you should contact our experienced Stockton personal injury lawyers. Our expert legal team will discuss your personal injury case, review your case facts, injuries and damages and advise you of your options. If our expert attorneys believe you have a personal injury claim and should move forward, our experienced legal team will begin the legal process.
Q: Can I file a lawsuit if I have been injured by another person?
A: This will all depend upon the circumstances of the events that caused the personal injuries and whether we can prove negligence on the part of another person. You have to prove that the other person acted negligently or recklessly, and you have to prove that your injuries were a direct result of that person's negligence. This is not always easy to prove, which is why it is always to your advantage to work with a lawyer that is experienced and knowledgeable in personal injury law, including auto accidents, motorcycle crashes, truck accidents, dog attacks and slip and fall accidents.
Q: Why do I need a personal injury lawyer? Why can't I hire any attorney?
A: Although general practitioner lawyers are very knowledgeable and skilled about all aspects of the law, they do not have the training that is unique to personal injury law. This means they most likely could not produce the exceptional results that our Stockton personal injury attorneys would obtain. It is always best to seek the person with the most knowledge on any subject if you wish to gain the most favorable results. Retaining an experienced injury lawyer will assure that not only is your case expertly expedited through the legal process, but will also ensure that you are provided with the best representation possible from attorneys who understand the personal injury laws and courts in Stockton.
Q: Can I receive compensation for the injuries sustained?
A: If it can be proved that your injuries were the result of the negligence of another person, you may be awarded a settlement, or verdict, which will allow you to obtain reparation for your medical bills, injuries, pain and suffering, lost wages and property damages you incurred as a result of the personal injury accident. Each case is different and each result varies. Retaining our expert Stockton personal injury lawyers will assure that you gain the most fair and equitable settlement allowed.
