Determining the person responsible for the injury is often complex\nand may involve multiple parties, all sharing a portion of the responsibility \u2013\nalso referred to as causation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Causation legally obligates the negligent or faulty party to\npay for losses associated with the injury. In order to establish causation or\nfault, your Harsh Law personal injury attorney will provide evidence and reasoning\nto prove that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The\n     responsible party had an obligation to provide safety or to not harm the\n     victim<\/li><li>The responsible\n     party violated that obligation<\/li><li>A\n     victim was injured and experienced loss<\/li><li>A\n     victim\u2019s injury was caused by the breach of the responsible party\u2019s duty<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Gathering the necessary evidence and information to prove\nthese points is a time-consuming and complex task. The experienced personal\ninjury attorneys at Harsh Law are familiar with the legal requirements to build\nsuch a claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can a personal injury attorney tell me how much my\ncase is worth before meeting?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any attorney that claims to provide an internet \u2018calculator\u2019\nor other marketing tool is simply trying to bait potential clients. No attorney\ncan accurately tell you \u2018what your case is worth\u2019 over the phone and without a\nserious review of the claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The truth of the matter is, every single case is different,\nand the two major factors of compensation are loss and recovery. It takes legal\nexperts significant time to understand how a victim has been affected by an\naccident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to determine what a personal injury case may be\nworth is to speak with the experienced personal injury attorney team at Harsh\nLaw during a no-obligation consultation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How much does it cost to hire a personal injury\nattorney?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After an accident, especially a personal injury, many people\nwill settle quickly with an insurance company rather than filing a claim.\nInsurance companies understand most people are overwhelmed by an injury and do\nnot believe they can handle the stress of fighting to get the recovery they\nneed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best course of action is to take the time you need to\nrecover and allow an experienced legal professional work on your behalf to seek\nan appropriate settlement with an insurance company rather than accept a\nlow-ball offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harsh Law, like many other successful personal injury law\nfirms, works on a contingency basis.
