ORLANDO PERSONAL INJURY LAWYERS What is a Personal Injury?
nature such as a broken leg or spinal cord injury or a financial harm such as in a business dispute. The legal umbrella of personal injury also includes defamation, libel and slander. The great majority of Orlando personal injury cases involve physical injuries from some type of car, truck or slip and fall accident. Not all personal injures give rise to a lawsuit, which may involve a financial recovery. To find out if your personal injury gives you a recoverable legal claim please contact the experienced Orlando personal injury lawyers at the Bodiford Law Group. Our attorneys will investigate the legal claim when you or a loved one suffers harm from an accident or injury and someone else might be legally responsible for that harm. What are the Steps involved in a Personal Injury Claim? How Are Personal Injury Cases Resolved? Most of us grew up with the idea of that all personal injury claimants have their "day in court." While this is true some of the time, most cases will never wind up in a courtroom. Remember, the goal of the Orlando personal injury attorneys at the Bodiford Law Group is to collect the maximum client recovery in your case and this does not always involve the courtroom or a trial. While some personal injury cases become formalized in civil court proceedings it is much more common that your dispute will be successfully resolved through informal settlement before a lawsuit is filed. Formal "Lawsuit" - A formal personal injury case starts when the "plaintiff" (the injured party) files a civil "complaint" against another person, business, corporation, or government agency alleging that they acted carelessly or irresponsibly in connection with an accident or injury that caused harm. This action is known as "filing a lawsuit". Informal Settlement - In reality, most disputes over fault for an accident or injury are resolved through informal early settlement, usually among those personally involved in the dispute, their insurers, and attorneys representing both sides. A settlement commonly takes the form of negotiation, followed by a written agreement in which both sides forgo any further action (like filing a lawsuit), choosing instead to resolve the matter through payment of an agreeable amount of money.
