Once your attorney accepts your personal injury case, they accept every task involved in resolving it. You will not have to worry about anything at all. Your lawyer will take care of all of the following and all related tasks:
Establishing Your Claimable, Compensable Damages
You may have already identified many of your damages. However, you may not have identified many other damages, such as lost work benefits. Your lawyer can help you establish all the tangible and intangible damages you can claim and be compensated for. Then, your lawyer will list them in your personal injury claim or lawsuit to establish your damages with the insurance company.
Something else they will do for you is to determine the monetary value of your intangible damages, like your physical pain. This will help validate these damages with the insurer and convince them to compensate you fairly. Again, your attorney will use a valuation method most insurers recognize and approve of.
Finally, to fully establish the validity and value of your damages, your lawyer will need evidence of your damages, such as an estimate of the cost of repairing your vehicle.
Establishing Liability for Your Damages
You may be convinced a particular party is liable for your damages. You might be correct, but another party could be liable or share liability. Your lawyer can help identify which party (or parties) is liable in your case and who the party is. To do this, they will seek out evidence of liability, which could be a statement from a witness or any security camera footage of the incident.
To fully establish the other party’s liability for your damages, they will also have to show how:
- The party owed you a duty of care
- The party breached that duty
- The breach of duty led to the incident
- The incident led to damages
Negotiating for Your Damages
Negotiating with an insurer can be very complicated. Your personal injury attorney will explain your damages to the insurer, prove the other party is liable, and ask the insurer to settle your case in good faith. Unfortunately, the insurer may not be interested in agreeing to a settlement or might act in bad faith, such as by diminishing your damages. In response, your lawyer can then file a personal injury lawsuit.
You need an attorney with the experience and dedication to give your case the care it deserves.

In Pennsylvania, a statute of limitations applies to personal injury cases. This statute (Pa. C.S.A. § 5524) states that claimants have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit from the date of a personal injury incident. Your lawyer can help you meet this deadline.
