New Port Richey Personal Injury Lawyer

FL Injury Lawyers (Home) / New Port Richey Personal Injury Lawyer

When trying to determine if your injury qualifies for a personal injury lawsuit, it is important to establish what type of injury you have and how much fault can be assigned to a party other than yourself. There are many cases in which you will want to speak with a personal injury lawyer in New Port Richey who will be able to help you sort out the various details of your personal injury and whether you have a valid claim.

There are various types of situations that will qualify you for a personal injury lawsuit. There is basic personal injury, long-term personal injury, and emotional distress. In some cases, you may find that multiple types of personal injury are filed within the same claim. A personal injury lawyer will be able to help any person facing an injury get the compensation they deserve. En Español.

What Constitutes an Injury

If someone has been injured, has suffered from the long-term effects of an old injury, or is suffering from emotional distress due to an event, they may be wondering if their situation qualifies for a personal injury lawsuit. There are four key facets to determining if their injury qualifies for a lawsuit:

  • If the person (party or organization) they want to sue had a responsibility to prevent such events or situation that caused personal injury.
  • If the person failed to meet their responsibility.
  • If this failure directly results in the injury.
  • If the injury requires expenses for recovery.

If someone is unsure if their case qualifies, they should contact a New Port Richey personal injury attorney right away. They will be able to answer any questions they may be struggling with answering.

Different Types of Personal Injury

There are basic types of personal injury. These types of injuries resulted in immediate bodily damage, often due to the negligence of a person, party, or organization. Some basic types of personal injury include:

  • Workplace Accident
  • Home Accident
  • Cruise or Holiday Accident
  • Product Defect
  • Car Accident
  • Bicycle Accident
  • Motorcycle Accident
  • Medical Malpractice

There are also long-term cases of personal injury, where the damage did not necessarily take place as an injury, but the event is having long-term effects thereafter. Some examples of this include:

  • Asbestos Installation
  • Improper Medication
  • Industrial Disease
  • Product Consumption

Finally, there are also cases of emotional distress, which do not necessarily require any physical or bodily damage to occur. The event or situation has instead caused emotional trauma, requiring an alteration of lifestyle or therapy to recover. Specific examples include (but are not limited to):

  • Being Trapped in an Elevator
  • Battery-Powered Device Catching Fire (although contained)
  • Witnessing a Car Accident
