San Francisco Personal Injury FAQs

What is a personal injury?
A personal injury is a type of physical, mental and/or financial injury that is incurred by one person after another person acts recklessly or negligently. 

What is negligence?
Negligence plays an imperative role in all personal injury cases and occurs when a person is reckless or fails to exercise the amount of caution a normal person would exercise in the same situation.

Why do people file personal injury claims?
There are many reasons why people decide to file personal injury claims.  However, most people file claims to hold negligent parties accountable for their actions and to collect monetary damages. 

How much is my case worth?
This question can only be answered after an experienced San Francisco personal injury lawyer has carefully evaluated your case.  Generally speaking, the amount a case is worth will vary and depend upon the circumstances involved.

Do I need a personal injury lawyer?
If you are planning to file a claim because you were physically, mentally and/or financially injured by the negligence of another person, you absolutely need a personal injury lawyer.  A personal injury attorney can review your case and then provide you with effective legal solutions that may enable you to collect compensation for things like your medical expenses, lost wages, property damage and pain and suffering.

I was offered a settlement, should I accept?
You should never accept a settlement until you have reviewed your options with a qualified personal injury law firm.  A personal injury law firm can make sure that the settlement offered is fair based upon your injuries, losses and future needs.   Most times, defendants and insurance companies will try to settle cases right away to avoid paying higher amounts if the case progresses to trial.
