When to Sue for an Injury in Orange County

If you have suffered an injury that has cost you financially, physically and psychologically, you may be wondering whether you can bring your case to court and recoup some of these costs.  Before you run to the courthouse and file a lawsuit, you may want to learn more about the types of accidents that warrant an injury lawsuit in Orange County. Below, we go into further detail about when you may want to consider legal action after sustaining a serious injury. 

If Someone Else Is to Blame

If someone else is responsible for causing your accident and resulting injuries, you have grounds to file a civil claim. For example, if you were struck by a drunk driver, you would want to file a lawsuit against the drunk driver to recover the compensation you’re entitled to. Or, if you fell on unmarked spilled liquid in a grocery story, you would look into filing a claim against the owner.  As you can imagine, you may not know whether someone else is responsible for causing your accident. In these cases, you may want to get help with your claim by reaching out to an experienced personal injury lawyer who can open a thorough investigation into the cause of your accident and determine who might be responsible for your subsequent injuries. 

When You Have Endured Considerable Losses

Another way to tell that a civil claim may be in your best interest is if you have endured considerable financial and non-financial losses. The impact that the accident and your injuries have had on your life should be significant and negative if you are pursuing a personal injury lawsuit. Some of the various losses you may be able to recover include:

• Diminished quality of life
• Loss of income
• Property damage
• Pain and suffering
• Medical expenses
• Loss of consortium
