Assessing Your Personal Injury Claim
Potential clients frequently ask us if we believe they have a strong personal injury case. It is crucial to receive and understand a complete and honest assessment to avoid any misunderstandings.
Injury Severity and Case Strength
While many individuals who suffer significant injuries in an accident may have a strong claim, this is not always the case. The extent of an injury does not automatically guarantee a strong personal injury case.
Factors Weakening a Claim
Several common issues can weaken a personal injury case. These include problems with liability, insufficient insurance coverage, and inadequate documentation.
- Liability: If fault cannot be established, a claimant may not be able to recover any money for their injuries, regardless of how significant they are.
- Insurance Coverage: Limited or no insurance coverage for the accident can restrict or prevent recovery. This remains true despite the severity of the sustained injuries.
- Documentation: Poorly documented injuries can be very difficult to prove to an insurance company or in a court of law.
These are just some of the factors considered when evaluating a personal injury claim. McKenzie & Snyder LLP evaluates cases for individuals in the Greater Cincinnati and Dayton areas. Call us at 513-737-5180 for a free consultation to help you decide whether to pursue your personal injury case.
