5 Characteristics of a Strong Personal Injury Case

The majority of personal injury victims believe they have a strong case with good valuation. There are various factors that affect how good a personal injury case. Attorneys will look at the following factors to determine the value of a claim:
Clear Liability
Liability is one of the most important factors in a strong personal injury case. In other words, in order to bring a strong case, it must be clear what the defendant or the liable party did that was legally wrong. For example, in a motor vehicle accident, clear liability can be established by a police report in favor of the plaintiff. Similarly, in a slip and fall claim, liability can be established by a report that clearly shows the hazardous condition was present on the floor long enough and the defendant failed to do something about it.
Damages
Another important factor that should be considered in determining the strength of a personal injury case are damages. A good case consists of severe injuries and damages. There are several types of damages that can be sought in a personal injury claim. An important thing that attorneys look for is economic damages, which include medical bills and lost wages, etc.
Assets
Another factor to consider for a “good case” is whether the defendant has insurance coverage. Unfortunately, even if there is clear liability and extensive damages, it makes no sense to file a claim and go through litigation if there is no money to recover for the injured plaintiff. However, if there is no insurance coverage it does not automatically mean there is no money.
