Personal Injury is the area of law that involves civil law cases designed to obtain compensation for injured persons. The main concerns in a personal injury case are negligence and liability. A personal injury attorney usually tries to negotiate with the opposing party, or their insurance company, but if necessary, and the attorney believes the injured client has a valid litigation, the case may go to trial.
Before an injured person can collect an award in a personal injury case, their attorney will have to prove that the defendant is liable. To prove liability, the attorney must establish negligence. If there is a failure to exercise reasonable care, or to prevent injury or damage, then there may be negligence involved. Once liability and negligence have been established, the judge or the jury may award monetary compensation for medical costs, lost wages and lost future earnings, as well as for pain and suffering.

I was injured. Can I file a lawsuit against the party that caused my injury?
In general, when a person is injured as a result of another person's negligence, the injured party may pursue a claim against the party or parties that caused the injuries. You are entitled to compensation for your injuries if it is found that a defendant was negligent and that such negligence was a cause of your injury. Any personal injury case depends on liability, damages, and whether or not you can collect from the negligent party or parties. Louisiana has adopted the doctrine of pure comparative negligence. In all cases except those of intentional tort, a claimant's recovery is reduced by his percentage of fault. Personal injury law attempts to cover all areas and types of injuries suffered by individuals. Some of the most common areas are automobile accidents, premise liability, medical malpractice, and product liability, among others. Whether or not you are entitled to compensation may depend on the type of accident that caused the injury.
How long do I have to hire an attorney?
The law requires that you file a lawsuit within a specified period of time depending on the nature of the claim and the entity that caused your injury. This is referred to as the statute of limitations. Failure to file suit within this time frame prevents you from filing suit at all. In some instances, there are various exceptions to the statutes of limitation that may extend or limit the limitation periods. There may be special claims presentation requirements for claims against state and local government. For these reasons, it is important to consult an attorney as early as possible to be sure you don't miss a crucial deadline.
How can I determine how much my claim is worth?
Attorneys are prohibited from promising that they will obtain a certain amount of money for you. For purposes of settlement, a claim is valued upon an estimate of what a jury would likely believe the case to be worth, taking into account the severity of the injury, the effects of the injury on your life and the negligence of the other party. If you were partially at fault for the accident, the amount of damages will be reduced proportionately. Any settlement will be reduced if there appears to be a good chance that the claim will not be successful. Other factors that may reduce the damages include past medical history, pre-existing injuries, and prior claims history.
