What is a Personal Injury Claim?
The idea behind a personal injury claim is that those who have been injured due to another party’s negligence should be financially compensated. The circumstances that may constitute a personal injury claim can range widely. In a personal injury case, a victim may receive a settlement from an insurance company for their injuries. Common types of personal injury claims include:
- Car Accidents;
- Truck Accidents;
- Motorcycle Accidents;
- Pedestrian accidents;
- Products liability;
- Premises liability;
- Medical malpractice;
- Workplace accidents; and
- “Slip and falls”.
At William Mattar, we handle many different types of personal injury claims and are dedicated to getting injury victims the compensation they need. Check out our practice areas to learn more.
Do I Have a Personal Injury Case?
In general, if you have suffered a serious injury due to another person’s negligence, you may very likely have a potential personal injury case. However, every situation is different. Whether or not you can establish negligence and prove your claim will depend on the details and laws surrounding your accident.
To determine negligence in a personal injury case, an attorney will look at four main factors:
- Duty: Whether the victim was owed a “legal duty of care” given the circumstances. For example, motorists of cars owe others on the road a duty of care and must operate their vehicles safely.
- Breach of duty: Whether an individual breached that legal duty, or otherwise did not act how an average person would under the circumstances.
- Injury: Whether the accident victim suffered a serious injury.
- Cause of Injury: Whether the victim’s injury was caused by the negligent person’s actions.
The best way to find out if you have a strong case is to contact an experienced personal injury lawyer. At William Mattar, we offer a free initial consultation for those looking to learn more about their legal options.

What Compensation Can I Receive in a Personal Injury Case?
The types of compensation you may be entitled to receive for a personal injury will be dependent on your circumstances. An injury affects each person differently. For instance, you may receive medical treatment for your injury which leaves you with expenses that you’re unable to cover. In this case, you may be able to receive compensation for your medical expenses—for both present and future care.
You may also be entitled compensation for lost wages, pain and suffering, or diminished quality of life. Your personal injury lawyer can help determine which damages you may able to receive.
