Myrtle Beach Personal Injury Attorney

If you’ve been injured by someone else’s negligence, obtaining just compensation that addresses your physical, financial, and emotional losses is key to reaching your most complete recovery. Personal injury claims, however, are complex, and having the skilled legal representation of an experienced Myrtle Beach personal injury attorney backing you up can make a big difference in how favorably yours is resolved.

Common Personal Injury Claims

Your personal injury claim will be unique to the related circumstances, but most break down into categories like the following:

• Traffic accidents, such as car, truck, and commercial vehicle accidents
• Slip and fall accidents and other premises liability claims, such as hotel accidents, accidents on rental properties, and dog bites
• Injuries acquired on the job by negligent third parties, such as in delivery truck accidents

Wrongful death claims, which address losing a loved one to someone else’s carelessness, also address negligence-based compensation and are very similar to personal injury claims.

The Necessary Elements of a Personal Injury Claim

To file a personal injury claim that successfully addresses your covered losses, each of the following legal elements must be present:

• The other party owed you a duty of care – the way that motorists have a responsibility to the safety of others on the road.
• The other party breached the duty of care owed to you, which translates to engaging in some form of negligence. Distraction, exhaustion, excess speed, and impairment are all common examples of negligence in car accidents. 
• The other party’s negligence was the direct cause of the accident that left you injured.
• Your injuries led to legal damages – or losses – that are addressed by the law.

Your seasoned personal injury lawyer will skillfully gather and compile the evidence necessary to clearly demonstrate each element of your claim.

Your Legal Damages

Your claim settlement should reflect your legal damages in their entirety, and this includes each of the following categories:

• Property damage, such as to your vehicle and its contents, in a traffic crash
• Medical expenses, which may include ongoing and future healthcare needs
• Lost income, which may need to address lost earning potential and losses that relate to your career development over time
• Physical and emotional pain and suffering, which could surpass all your other losses combined

Your focused personal injury lawyer will spare no effort in their quest to prove the full extent of your losses – in pursuit of a just settlement that supports your health and well-being.
