How Do I Know if I have good Personal Injury Case?
July 2026
A lawyer practicing personal injury law will often be asked the question, "Do I have a good personal injury case?." Even for an experienced personal injury attorney, this is a difficult question to answer. A personal injury case is a complicated legal claim. There are many factors that will need to be analyzed and evaluated before the question can be answered properly. In a case even where there is clear liability (like when a person goes through a stop sign), a personal injury claim can fail if there are no damages. A case can also fail if there is no insurance from which to collect a judgment. A case can also fail where there is immunity provided to a responsible party either by statute or the common law.
As you can see, evaluating a personal injury case is complex and should not be done without the assistance of an experienced personal injury attorney. There are many laws involved in a personal injury case and going it alone can destroy or severely damage your claim.
