Being in an accident can be frightening for any Pennsylvania resident, but the days, weeks, months and even years afterward can be difficult as well when the accident victim suffers a significant injury. Whether it was a car accident, a workplace accident or an accident caused by a defective product, among many other causes, a personal injury can seriously disrupt a person's life.
The law provides an option for those who have been injured in an accident due to another party's negligence. A personal injury lawsuit could help the accident victim seek financial compensation from the party who caused the accident. For instance, in a car accident, the lawsuit would likely be filed against the other driver. Or, in a workplace accident, perhaps the defendant would be the person's employer. One of the first steps in any personal injury lawsuit is to identify the true party at fault.
However, in the immediate aftermath of an accident, it is equally important to make sure that the appropriate evidence is being collected and retained for use in any potential lawsuit. Photographs of the accident scene and the injuries, as well as medical records of healthcare treatment rendered, can all become important parts of a personal injury lawsuit in Pennsylvania.
