A person being held liable for damages is usually insured for these events. This means that he or she doesn’t have to pay the compensation for these damages themselves; it is their insurance company that pays. However, this only happens once liability has been established. Discussions about liability are almost always conducted with an insurance company rather than the actual “perpetrator”.
When you become injured as a result of someone else’s actions, you can hold that other party liable. This means that you demand the other person compensates you for your damages, and it is entirely within your rights to do so. Whether or not the other person is actually responsible for and required to pay compensation for these damages is a legal question that is not always easy to answer. When someone runs a red light and hits you, causing injuries, the liability question will not be that difficult to answer. However, if you believe that a doctor in the hospital has administered the wrong treatment resulting in injuries and the doctor claims that it wasn’t an error but a complication (one he cannot do anything about), then the question of liability is not quite as clear.
If liability has been established, then the damages will have to be determined. This situation will also involve an insurance company that is extremely well-versed in the practical aspects and has access to all of the necessary expertise to determine its position and rights. In our experience, an insurance company will use this knowledge to ensure that the negotiations on any damage to be compensated will be as much to its advantage as possible. As a personal injury victim, you therefore not only have to contend with coping with a dramatic incident and possibly major changes to your life, you will also be up against a worthy opponent when it comes to claiming what’s rightfully yours. Be wary of believing the so-called good intentions of insurance companies in their treatment of personal injury victims. Don’t sell yourself and those dependent on you short and be sure to seek the advice of a professional!
