FAQs
What should I do if I'm injured in an accident?
If you’re injured in an accident, it is crucial to prioritize your health and safety first. Seek immediate medical attention for your injuries. If possible, gather evidence at the accident scene, such as photographs, witness statements, and contact information. Report the incident to the appropriate authorities and notify your insurance company. Finally, consult with our office as soon as possible to understand your legal rights and options.
What is a personal injury claim?
A personal injury claim is a legal process where an individual who has suffered physical, emotional, or financial harm due to someone else’s negligence or intentional actions seeks compensation for their losses. This compensation may cover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related damages.
How do I know if I have a valid personal injury claim?
The validity and value of a personal injury claim depends upon several factors, such as negligence, duty of care, and damages. Personal injury cases usually require you to prove that the other party acted negligently or had a duty of care to act responsibly and failed to do so, causing your injuries. Drivers, property owners, and people in general are under a duty to act responsibly toward others and avoid putting them at risk. Failure to act responsibly, such as by driving while distracted or failing to maintain a safe property, may amount to negligence. It is best to consult with a personal injury lawyer who can evaluate your case based on the specific circumstances and applicable laws to provide you with proper guidance. If you feel you have been injured as a result of someone else’s negligence, it is important to act promptly. When you contact our office we can provide you with an intake review and guidance as to the next steps of the process.
What can I recover in a personal injury claim?
In Connecticut and Rhode Island, state law allows you to seek compensation for both economic and non-economic losses from an accident. Damages you may be able to claim include:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Past and future lost income
- Reduced earning capacity
- Physical pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Disfigurement or disability
- Loss of intimacy with loved ones
- Property damage, such as the cost of repair or replacement of your car
In serious accidents involving intentional or particularly egregious conduct, punitive damages may also be available. The purpose of punitive damages, in general, is to punish the wrongdoer and prevent similar conduct in the future. Insurance companies won’t always tell you the full benefits you are entitled to. Our attorneys can review your case and explain what compensation you may be eligible for.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
At Messier, Massad, Burdick & Assoc. LLC we handle personal injury claims on a contingency fee basis, which means we only get paid if and when we successfully recover compensation for you. Typically, our attorney’s fee is a percentage of the settlement or award you receive. We can discuss the fee structure during your initial consultation to ensure you have a clear understanding of the costs involved.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit?
The time limit for filing a personal injury lawsuit is known as the statute of limitations, which varies by jurisdiction and the type of injury. It is crucial to consult with an attorney promptly to ensure your claim is filed within the prescribed time limit. Delaying filing beyond the statute of limitations may result in the loss of your right to seek compensation.
How long does a personal injury case take to resolve?
The duration of a personal injury case varies depending on various factors, including the complexity of the case, the extent of injuries and treatment, the cooperation of involved parties, and the court’s schedule. Some cases may settle through negotiation or alternative dispute resolution methods, while others may require litigation and trial processes. Your personal injury team at Messier, Massad, Burdick & Assoc. LLC can provide an estimated timeline based on the specific details of your case.
