Every personal injury claim has two main components: loss and liability. This is true regardless of the type of accident involved:
- Motor vehicle accident
- Premises accident
- Workplace accident
- Accident caused by dangerous or defective product(s)
- Medical malpractice such as a surgical error
You understand the meaning of loss if you are dealing with the aftermath of an accident that caused serious injury or death. The Marrone Law Firm fights for the rights of injured people. In Pennsylvania, New Jersey or New York, attorney Joseph M. Marrone and the law firm's entire team of talented litigators advocate on behalf of accident victims and their families.
Losses and Ongoing Needs
A serious or catastrophic injury brings medical bills, income loss as a result of time off work, expenses for family members and sometimes, a need for expensive durable medical equipment, home remodeling, a modified van and so on.
Furthermore, a person recovering from a serious injury or living with a lifelong disability will need ongoing physical therapy and other rehabilitation services. Perhaps more importantly, an injured person and/or his or her family experience very real pain and suffering that goes beyond any tangible loss. Losses and expenses seem to add up exponentially after a serious car accident or construction accident.
Evidence and Liability
Liability, on the other hand, is a legal issue whereby analysts pinpoint whose negligence contributed to or caused an event that resulted in serious injury. The sooner and the more thorough an investigation is, the more likely it is that the ultimate causes of an accident can be determined with reasonable certainty. After a car accident, a construction accident, a slip-and-fall accident or a medical treatment experience gone wrong, it is important to gather all relevant evidence while it is fresh and available. Eyewitness accounts, visible evidence and records such as cell phone records and surveillance videos are all best obtained shortly after an accident.
