If you are injured because of someone else's negligence, the law says that you should be compensated. But the law sets up a lot of roadblocks between you and that compensation - defenses, time limitations, court requirements, and limits on the types of damages recoverable, to name just a few.
For instance -
What standard of care is applicable to your situation?
Are both compensatory and punitive damages available? Are there limits on the amount of the different kinds of damages?
How does the doctrine of comparative negligence apply to your situation?
What is "contribution and indemnity?" Can the person who injured you use it to avoid paying?
Do any "special defenses" or "immunities" apply and how do you get around them?
What is the "Statute of Limitations" and how does it apply to your case? Are there any special circumstances that can prevent the statute from running - in effect, "stop time?"
Is the other person's insurance policy the only source of potential recovery?
Is there a choice of venue and, if so, which one is best for your suit?
These and countless other issues need to be considered relating to when, where, and against whom your claim should be brought.
Our personal injury and accident lawyers have over 50 years of experience maneuvering through these obstacles to fight for the compensation you deserve.
So, yes. You need a lawyer.
