If you have sustained any type of injury in an accident that was not your fault, you will probably have the right to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you are injured unexpectedly, after you’ve been seen by a doctor, see a personal injury lawyer. An experienced personal injury attorney can review the details of the accident and determine if you have grounds for taking legal action. Most personal injury lawyers offer a free initial consultation, so it won’t cost anything to talk with a lawyer about your case and your rights.
