First, do you know what personal injury is and when it qualifies for a claim?
It includes the damages to a person’s body, emotions, or reputation due to an injury or an accident. This can include emotional trauma, physical disabilities, pain and suffering, and physical injuries.
To file a legal claim, the injury must have resulted from the negligence or recklessness of a third party.
When you have sustained injuries, it is imperative to notify the insurance companies. We will ensure that the correct insurance companies are notified of the incident, open the claims, and advise you on the damages you may seek. Typically, this includes medical expenses, lost income due to the injury, compensation for physical and emotional pain, and any temporary or permanent disabilities.

Types of compensation
Personal injury claims involve two types of compensation: compensatory damages and punitive damages.
Medical expenses
Lost wages or earning capacity
Loss of irreplaceable items
Altered plans due to the injury
Permanent disabilities or disfigurement
Pain and suffering resulting in emotional distress, PTSD, insomnia, depression

Punitive damages
Punitive damages, on the other hand, is awarded by the court if the third party who caused the injury acted with specific maliciousness or extreme negligence, committed a criminal act or caused extensive financial issues.

How does the Personal Injury Claim process works?
Each personal injury claim is unique, and various factors can influence its duration, complexity, and outcome.
It is essential to understand that prioritizing your recovery is crucial for the success of your legal case. Failing to attend your personal injury doctor appointments, skipping sessions, or delaying treatment could potentially weaken your claim, as the opposing party may argue that your injuries were not severe enough to warrant compensation.
However, apart from focusing on your health and recovery, you can leave every other aspect of the claim to us. Our dedicated team will handle all necessary investigations, communicate with the insurance company, and complete all required paperwork. We are here to take care of everything else, so you can solely concentrate on your well-being.
Furthermore, it is important to note that a claim cannot reach a resolution until you have fully recovered from your injuries or have a clear understanding of your future medical needs. By accurately assessing your condition and anticipating future medical requirements, you and your lawyer can determine an appropriate amount to pursue in your claim.
How long will the Settlement process take?
The duration of the settlement process can vary significantly depending on the specifics of your case. It may range from a few weeks to several months. Factors influencing the timeline include the length of your recovery, the amount of medical evidence available regarding your injuries, the severity of your injuries, the extent of your expenses, the clarity of the accident circumstances, and the availability of evidence establishing fault, among others.
At Christina Kalin Law Office, we understand the importance of keeping you informed at every stage of your claim. We prioritize regular updates and ensure that you have all the answers you need to understand the progress of your case. You can trust us to provide the transparency and support you deserve throughout the entire process.
