An Easy Guide to Wrongful Death Claims

When my friend lost her husband after an accident at work, we naturally assumed that his employer would do right by the family. We were surprised to find out that the company had no intentions of doing anything over than sending flowers to the funeral. A group of us immediately went to work helping our friend get what was rightfully hers. Wrongful death laws are complex and we soon found ourselves in over our heads. Once we started working with an attorney, we began to understand what we were reading. I started this blog because I want others in the same situation as my friend to have the resources needed to get the settlement they deserve.

3 Important Details You Need To Know When You Plan To File A Personal Injury Lawsuit

Did you get hurt while you were walking outside and attempting to get somewhere? If you endured several painful injuries from your fall and you would like to file a personal injury lawsuit, you can do just that with a lawyer's help. However, you will need to provide your lawyer with some important details before beginning the litigation process.

Where Your Injury Happened

You should know where you were injured if you plan to file a personal injury lawsuit. As soon as you get hurt, you should make a mental note of the intersection. Look for any street signs or storefront signs that would give you an idea of your exact location. If you have the chance to do so, type the details into your phone or ask someone else to do that for you. If you do not know the exact intersection where you got hurt, there is always the slight possibility of losing the lawsuit and not being able to get any compensation from the defendant that you were suing in court.

When Your Injury Happened

It is necessary to know where it happened, but you also need to have a date and time, too. Were you injured late at night or in the early morning hours when most people are doing their normal commute? Did you get hurt at the beginning of the week or on the weekend? While it may not be the first thing on your mind when you are in pain from your injuries, you need to write this information down and provide it to your injury lawyer. If there is any confusion about when your accident happened, the defendant could use that to their advantage in court while questioning the legitimacy of your claim.

How You Got Hurt 

Be as specific as possible about how you were injured. You may have tripped over a large piece of uneven concrete. Your foot might have gotten stuck in a small hole that was never filled and sealed. There could have been something obstructing the way that you were unable to see because it was dark outside. You can explain how everything happened to your personal injury lawyer who is going to assist you with your lawsuit.

When you plan to file a personal injury lawsuit because you were injured outside, make sure that you know where your accident occurred, when it happened, and how everything went down. If you can provide plenty of information to the lawyer, your chances of winning the lawsuit may be much greater.
