If you’ve been injured as a result of a careless or negligent act, you have the legal right to claim compensation for your injuries. In order to evaluate your potential claim, it’s vital to contact an experienced attorney as soon as possible.

Key issues in establishing a viable claim include:

Liability

Is there liability for your accident, and can either an individual or organization be held legally responsible for your injuries? Are the facts of the case sufficient enough to prove that an individual or organization, was ultimately or in part at fault for your injuries? In many states, it is still possible to claim compensation even if you suspect that your own actions may have been partly to blame for your injuries.

Statute of Limitations

Every potential claim has a statute of limitations or a “window of time” in which you are allowed to file a lawsuit. These time limits vary depending on the state in which you live and on the nature.

Will the potential damages outweigh the costs of the lawsuit?

Even if you have been injured physically, emotionally, economically, and it is apparent that someone else is to blame, bringing a lawsuit may not always be in your best interest. At Simpson Kepler Edwards, we put our clients first. If the potential cost of going to trial or bringing in a lawsuit are not in your best interests, we will let you know.
