02 / The Basics
What Is a Personal Injury Claim?
P.I.
Every case is different, and determining whether a claim exists depends on the specific facts surrounding the accident.
A personal injury claim is a legal process that may allow an injured person to seek compensation when another individual, business, or property owner is responsible for causing their injuries through negligence.
Simply put, negligence means someone failed to use reasonable care, and that failure resulted in another person being injured.
Every case is different, and determining whether a claim exists depends on the specific facts surrounding the accident. Sharon takes the time to review each situation carefully, explain how the legal process works, and answer your questions in plain English.
Personal injury claims often involve both physical and financial challenges.
