Personal Injury Law & Claim Compensation

Insurance

Most of the time, an insurance company pays the compensation. Typically, the insurance of the at-fault individual or company will take care of the expenses, which means you don’t need to worry about a lawsuit. Insurance may apply even in cases where an individual could not recover the information of the at-fault individual.

For example, if a person was robbed and assaulted in a parking lot, a claim may still be filed against the property owner. If the at-fault individual or entity lacks insurance, then a lawsuit may need to be filed to secure the money directly. The court may then order the defendant to pay the plaintiff the money out of pocket.

Types

If a victim endures the injury during a car accident, typically, the at-fault person’s auto insurance will cover the personal injury claim costs. If it happens on the job, the employer’s workers’ compensation insurance will usually provide coverage. There are also insurance plans for medical malpractice cases, retail business, general liability, and more. In most scenarios, the compensation can be secured through some sort of insurance plan.
