"I went into this case wary of lawyers and Stan Clay changed that for me. When Stan agreed to take on my case, it was complete within a matter of months. I was very impressed with how he did it, and I felt like he really stood up for me and went above and beyond to help me. I even recommended my bestfriend, and now he's helping her with her case. It was a really great experience, and I would defintely go back to him."

A personal injury claim involves an injuried individual seeking compensation for their pain and suffering, emotional distress, permanent disability, or other ensuring injuries from the person, company, or institution believed to be at fault. The claim may be brought on one of three grounds: negligence, strict liability and intentional wrong. But regardless of its ground, the claim must meet the three elements of tort to establish liability. Personal injury is an area of law designed to proect those harmed by the neglience, recklessness, malpractice, or inaction of others. Also called tort law, personal injury law encompasses a full range of legal claims, from wrongful death, auto accidents, and medical malpractice to defective drugs, product liability, and workers compensation. Each vicitim can file a personal injury claim for physical injury, emotional injury, and, occasionally, for property damages. Further in some cases - such as those involving medical malpractice or wrongful death - the family of the injuried or dceased can file suit on behalf of its loved one.
If your looking to file you personal injury case as a tort of negligence, you are accusing the defendent of causing your injury by failing to follow the degree of care the law requires. Strict liability generally applies to product liability law, a division of personal injury. Under strict liability, manufacturers who market defective products that, when used correctly, cause injury, can be sued. In some instances, you may claim intentional wrong and pursue a civil personal injury lawsuit in addition to filing criminal charges. Victims of domestic battery or sexual abuse, for example, may file both civil and criminal lawsuits.
If you have been hurt, you will first need to deal with the pain, shock and distress. After that, you may want to think about claiming compensation and getting practical, personal or financial support to deal with the injury and its after-effects. Even if you haven't yet decided whether to claim compensation, you should collect evidence about the accident. If you visit a doctor for treatment, ask them to record the fact that you had an accident, which will be helpful if you decide to make a claim.
There are two types of compensation that you can claim. General damages are for the pain and suffering you have had to cope with after an injury. Special damages are for money you've had to pay or earnings you have lost because of an accident. You can also claim for loss of future earnings if, for example, your injury means you cannot carry on working in a job or profession you have been working in. And if a member of your family has been killed, you may be able to claim compensation if they supported you. Special damage compensation can also cover: damage to clothing or other belongings; the cost of medical treatment; travel costs to hospital for you and visiting relatives; ongoing care, therapy or counseling to help you recover from or cope with your injury; and cose of hiring a car or repairing the one damaged in an accident. If you need to spend money for things related to your accident or injury, try to keep all your receipts. This will make it easier to claim the money back as part of special damages.
