Home > Does Suing for Personal Injury Mean I’m a ‘Bad Person?’
If there is one phrase that we personal injury lawyers hear often, it is this: “I’m not the suing kind.” This is particularly true when it comes to personal injury cases. When you are injured in a car accident or some other type of traumatic event, you are thrust into the personal injury claim process, even if you are reluctant to go through with it.
At the Vaziri Law Group Personal Injury Attorneys, we often hear clients tell us they just want it all to be over so they can move on with their lives. Contrary to the media’s and Hollywood’s portrayal of personal injury lawyers as ambulance chasers who are waiting to make money off the suffering of others, reality paints a different picture.
In our law offices, we see clients who make the mistake of rushing into a settlement or taking an unfair, lowball settlement from an insurance company because they don’t want to sue – even though they are facing mounting medical expenses, lost wages and host of expenses that crop up when they are injured and unable to work. Most people are compassionate human beings who worry about how a lawsuit might negatively impact defendants and their families.
No matter how often we hear these comments and sentiments from our clients, it never ceases to amaze us. So, in this article, let us look at why personal injury law is a boon to the average citizen. Filing an injury lawsuit is often the last resort for injured victims who seek not just monetary compensation for their losses, but to hold negligent parties or wrongdoers accountable. Here are some of the reasons why filing personal injury lawsuit might be the best option for you and your family.
It is important to remember that in a vast majority of cases, it is not the defendant who actually pays the damages. It is their insurance company. For example, if you have been injured in a pedestrian accident because of a distracted driver, the motorist’s insurance company will pay the damages, not the driver. Similarly, if you suffer a slip-and-fall accident in your favorite restaurant, you do not have to worry that you are going to put a family out of business. Their liability insurance will help pay for your medical bills and other costs related to your slip-and-fall injury.
Think about all the stress one could face after a traumatic incident. The stress is not just physical, but also emotional and financial. It is an unfair burden for victims and families to be saddled with medical expenses and financial losses because of an accident that was not their fault. The financial setbacks stemming from these incidents could cause significant hardships not just for the injured victims, but also for their families. In fact, in some cases, it could change the trajectory of a family’s finances for generations.
There is no question that we would not have the laws and safety measures we have in place today but for personal injury and product liability lawsuits. Lawsuits gave us seatbelts, the safety stop on saw blades, “slippery floor” signs in public places, safety mechanisms in escalators, to mention a few. There is no denying that a small percentage of lawsuits are frivolous. However, personal injury lawsuits are often a force for good that drive innovation and technology that paves the way for a safer world. It may make it worth hiring a personal injury lawyer.
