What do you need to prove to win your personal injury case in Manassas, VA?
Ouch! That accident you had wasn't pretty. You feel like you're stuck in the mud now between your own injuries and the damage to your vehicle from the car wreck. However, just because you are hurt doesn’t mean you are entitled to money. Negligence or carelessness on the part of another person, which caused your injuries, is necessary for a personal injury case to be won. If this factor cannot be proven or is not proven, you will lose the case.
To make matters even worse, if you had an injury before the accident, then you are only entitled to the compensation of the extent of the worsening of your condition due to the accident. That may sound a bit funny, but you can't tally on extra personal injury just because an accident happend following your back going out!
The very worst part of all this is that if you were in any way at fault, you will lose your case, based on the law of contributory negligence in Virginia. This may sound a bit crazy, and it really is! Some states have comparative negligence, where it is split up i.e. 30%-70%, 10%-90%. This isn't the case in Virginia, which is definitely a tough audience when trying to fight for yourself in your personal injury case. This is why having a board certified personal injury attorney could make it or break it for your personal injury case.
Yes, you can try and handle your own case, but it's not exactly recommended. You may save a few dollars here or there, but you could be shooting yourself in the foot for the long run - trust me, I've seen people who didn't even realize they would have to pay their insurance company back!
Remember, before we accept your case, we must be 100% sure that you are not in any way at fault. For more information, please follow this link to learn more with a sample chapter of The Five Deadly Sins That Can Wreck Your Injury Claim.
