There’s a misconception among the general public that just because one has been injured that they deserve or are owed compensation. While the justice system exists to protect our rights, not all cases are viable, and some may be thrown out or made invalid because of one or two things we’ll take a look at in this post.

Injuries Are Vital In a Personal Injury Claim
A viable personal injury case usually involves a number of key things, with the first one being clear and undisputed injuries. This is why it is so important to see a doctor the moment you are injured, or within the first few hours. Going to the doctor, receiving a diagnosis, getting x-rays, an MRI and other diagnostic tests will create a robust claim as there will be objective evidence in the form of a doctor’s report. This is the kind of evidence that insurance companies hate, and judges love because it is, by all intents and purposes, incontrovertible.
Evidence Can Make or Break a Personal Injury Claim
It is also important to work with a best injury attorney as they may be able to preserve evidence that you never knew existed. For instance, our attorneys will help you craft and send out a preservation letter to prevent the car from being disposed of or recycled as it may hold key pieces of information that can be used as evidence. In addition, we may be able to retrieve the event data recorder which may contain vital information on what exactly happened at the time of the accident.
Liability is a Key Ingredient in Personal Injury Lawsuits
Another thing that makes for a strong personal injury claim is liability for injury. Through us, your best injury attorneys, we will create a compelling case showing a clear connection between the negligent actions of the defendant and your accident and subsequent injuries, thereby establishing liability.
Collectability and Personal Injury Lawsuits
Last but not least, a good personal injury lawsuit has to meet the standard of collectability. That is to say, a defendant must be able to service the requirements of the judgment once it is found in your favor. A judgment may for instance order the defendant to pay you a certain amount to cater for treatment for your injuries and cover your legal fees. It essentially does not make sense to file a claim against a person who may not be able to compensate you for your injuries: that being said, insurance companies handle these claims and in order to prevent the case from going to court which may mean an even bigger compensation amount, so they usually settle with your injury attorney before this happens.
