How Do I Know If I Have a Personal Injury Claim?

You may be wondering if you actually have grounds for a personal injury claim. Here are 5 questions you can ask yourself to determine if you may have a case:

1. Was someone else's negligence the cause of your accident?

2. Did the accident result in you suffering injuries?

3. Did your injuries require medical treatment?

4. Did you need to take time off of work because of your injuries?

5. Do you have evidence to support that your accident was caused by negligence?

If you answered yes to the above questions, you most likely have grounds for a personal injury lawsuit. Contact our office immediately to discuss your accident in greater detail and learn what your next step should be.

Is It Worth Getting a Personal Injury Lawyer?

Sometimes it may seem like more work than it's worth to hire a lawyer to represent you. After all, you're capable of talking to the insurance company yourself, aren't you? While you may be capable of it, that doesn't necessarily mean it's the best option for you. Hiring a lawyer gives you several advantages:

  • Expert guidance through the legal process
  • An understanding of what a fair settlement would be for your particular injuries and future related expenses
  • The ability to take the case to trial if the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement
  • Demonstrating to the insurance company that you mean business

Don't put your compensation at risk by trying to handle your claim on your own. The personal injury attorneys at Joye, Nappier, Risher & Hardin are ready to fight for you!


Will My Personal Injury Case Go to Trial?

Statistics show that only 4-5% of personal injury cases actually go to trial in the United States. For the most part, personal injury victims are able to settle outside of the courtroom.

During the pre-trial phase of your case, our lawyers will investigate your accident and gather evidence to support your claim for compensation. We will then meet and begin negotiating with the responsible party's legal team. If we are unable to reach a satisfactory settlement with the other party, we will take your case to trial and fight for what you deserve.

Whether your case is able to be settled pre-trial, or if we need to take your claim to court, our injury lawyers are prepared to fight on your behalf to get you the justice and the compensation you deserve!

How Do I File a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

If a settlement is not an option, it may become necessary to file a lawsuit. Our attorneys can take care of the details, a process that involves:

  • Filing a Summons and Complaint with the Clerk of Court in the appropriate county
  • Serving the defendant with the Summons and Complaint
  • Waiting up to 30 days for the defendant to answer to the complaint

If the answer is not filed within 30 days, the defendant or defendants are held in default (meaning that you, the plaintiff, will most likely receive a judgment in your favor).

How Long Does a Personal Injury Case Take to Resolve?

The length of time before your case goes to trial will vary. It is not uncommon for a case to take 18 months from the date of the initial filing of the complaint to the date of trial. However, if your case ends up settling before going to trial, it can sometimes take less time. For example, if you were injured as a result of a larger company's negligence, they may be more willing to settle prior to going to court.
