A personal injury case is a legal dispute that arises when one person suffers harm from an accident or injury, and someone else might be legally responsible for that harm. Personal injury cases can involve physical injuries, psychological injuries, or both. Examples of personal injury cases include car accidents, slip and fall accidents, etc.

The questions you should ask may vary depending on your claim, but in general, they include the following:

1. How long have you been practicing personal injury law?
2. What is your success rate in personal injury cases?
3. How will my case be handled and what is the estimated timeline?
4. What types of damages am I entitled to receive?
5. Are there any potential risks or downsides to pursuing a personal injury claim?
6. Do you have any references from past clients I can contact?
7. How much do you charge for your services, and what payment options are available?

Personal injury claims can take a long time to resolve because of the complexity of the case and the amount of evidence that needs to be gathered. In addition, insurance companies may try to delay the process in order to reduce their liability. If you feel that your case is taking too long, it is important to speak with your attorney about your concerns.

Personal injury compensation is calculated based on a variety of factors, including the severity of the injury, the extent of any medical expenses and lost income, the impact on quality of life, and other damages such as pain and suffering. The amount of compensation awarded in a personal injury case will depend on the facts and circumstances of each individual case.
