How Do I Know If I Have a Personal Injury Case in Philadelphia?

Injury or Harm: You must have suffered physical, emotional, or financial harm due to another party's negligence or intentional misconduct. Common injuries include broken bones, head injuries, or emotional distress.
Negligence: Determine if another party’s negligence caused your injury. Negligence involves a failure to exercise reasonable care, such as a driver running a red light or a property owner failing to maintain safe conditions.
Causation: Establish a direct link between the negligent behavior and your injury. This means proving that the harm you suffered was a direct result of the other party’s actions.
Damages: Evaluate the damages you have incurred, such as medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. You need to quantify these damages to pursue compensation effectively.
Consult an Attorney: Personal injury lawyers offer free consultations to assess the viability of your case. They can help determine if you have a valid claim based on the specifics of your situation.
