People often use the terms ‘claim’ and ‘lawsuit’ interchangeably, but they are distinct stages. A claim is a demand for compensation, often sent to an insurance company. If negotiations fail, then the claim can transform into a lawsuit, where the matter might go to court.

Not necessarily. Many claims are settled outside of court. But, if fair compensation isn’t offered, then court proceedings might be needed.

You might hear terms like economic and non-economic damages. The former includes tangible losses like medical bills and lost wages, while the latter deals with pain and suffering. In some cases, punitive damages might also be awarded.

If you played a role in the incident, it might affect your compensation. The fault will be divided among all parties involved, potentially affecting the compensation amount.

If a previous injury worsened because of the accident, it can be considered in your claim. It might require evidence showing how the recent incident aggravated the old injury.

While not mandatory, having an expert by your side ensures you’re better informed and possibly better compensated. It also helps in navigating interactions with insurance companies.
