If you suffered an injury, you most certainly may be eligible to receive monetary damages.
Some of these monetary damages may include lost wages, disfigurement, permanent scars, loss of love and affection, medical bills, pain and suffering, physical disability, embarrassment, mental disability and property damage.
It may also include out-of-pocket expenses.
Also, you may have a claim for personal injury even though you may be the person partly at fault for the accident.
However, you should always consult an injury attorney who is experienced in personal injury to assess the viability of your case.
Also, before you sign any papers of any kind or give any statements, you should consult with an experienced injury attorney.
An experienced attorney will also ensure that you receive fair compensation for the injuries which you have sustained.
Although many people are concerned about the cost of an injury attorney, usually injury cases are handled on what is known as a contingency fee basis, which means that your attorney is generally paid nothing unless your attorney obtains a settlement or a verdict on your behalf.
Generally, the contingency fee basis provides that your attorney will receive a percentage of the total recovery on your case after payment of the costs.
