We can provide a strong case presented to support your claim and is within the parameters of your insurance coverage so the insurer has no reason to deny your claim for coverage and compensation.
Who Can Be Held Liable for My Personal Injury?
Any person who was responsible for the accident or other act, either solely or in part, can be found liable for the resulting injuries. Even those not directly causing your injury can be held liable for an injury sustained on their premises or injuries caused by the personal property that they own. For example, the owner of a dog whose attack caused your personal injury can be held liable for the resulting injury.
Which Parties Can Be Held Responsible for Providing Financial Compensation for My Medical Bills and Other Expenses Incurred Because of My Injury?
First, if you have insurance coverage, you can submit a claim to receive compensation for your resulting medical expenses. However, insurance companies are notorious for denying insurance claims even when clearly warranted. Having an attorney on your side helps so your insurance company does not unjustly avoid offering compensation. Second, the party liable for your injury could be potentially held responsible for your injury. However, a lawsuit must be brought in court, so that a legal determination can be made regarding the actual liability of the accused party.
