What Is a Personal Injury Claim?

A personal injury claim may arise when someone is injured because of another person or company’s negligence or wrongful conduct. Depending on the circumstances, an injured person may be able to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost income, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses.

In a typical negligence case, the injured person must show that the defendant owed a duty of care, breached that duty, and that the breach caused the person’s injuries and resulting damages.

The Personal Injury Process

A personal injury claim begins with investigating the circumstances of your injury and collecting evidence, such as photographs, witness statements, medical records, and police reports. Your attorney will work with you to understand how your injury occurred, evaluate the facts, and determine the appropriate next steps. This could include filing a claim with the responsible party’s insurance company and attempting to resolve the matter through settlement. If the claim cannot be resolved through settlement, the next step is to file a lawsuit and proceed with litigation.

Personal Injury FAQs

Answered by Los Angeles Injury Lawyer Jon Olsson

Is there a deadline for personal injury claims?

Yes. Under California Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1, most personal injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the injury. If a public entity is involved, such as a city, school district, transit agency, or other government entity, a written claim generally must be presented within six months. Because different deadlines may apply depending on the circumstances, it is important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.

What if I don’t feel hurt?

Not all accident injuries cause immediate pain or obvious symptoms, and some symptoms may develop over time. If you have been involved in an accident, consider seeking a medical evaluation even if you do not initially feel injured. Pay attention to any new or worsening symptoms and seek appropriate medical care if they arise.

How much is my personal injury case worth?

The value of a personal injury case depends on the nature and extent of your injuries, the circumstances of the accident, and other case-specific factors. An attorney can assess the potential value of your claim after reviewing the facts, available evidence, medical treatment, and resulting losses.
