Personal Injury
What is a Personal Injury?
As the name suggests a “Personal Injury” is harm or damage endured by an individual. The harm can either be physical, such as a broken leg or head injury or it can be a financial harm such as in a business conflict. The legal patronage of personal injury also consists of libel, slander, and defamation.
A majority of Jacksonville personal injury cases involve physical injuries and some type of motor vehicle or slip and fall incident. Not every personal injury gives rise to a lawsuit, which could involve a financial recovery. To learn or find out if your personal injury gives you a legal claim, please call the qualified and experienced Jacksonville personal injury lawyers at Law Offices of Nooney, Roberts, Hewett & Nowicki. Our attorneys will investigate and look into the legal claim that may rise. If you or a loved one suffered harm or damages from an accident or injury, someone else might be legally responsible for that harm. We are determined to thoroughly examine your case, in order to get you the compensation you deserve. Our team of lawyers will not give up until your case is resolved.

How Are Personal Injury Cases Resolved?
Majority of us have an indication that all personal injury applicants should have their “day in court.” Though this is accurate some of the time, generally most cases will never end up in a courtroom. Keep in mind, the goal of your personal injury attorney is to collect the utmost client recovery in your case; this does not always involve the courtroom or a trial. Although some personal injury cases become formalized in civil court proceedings, it is a lot more common that your dispute will be solved through informal settlement before a lawsuit is filed.
Formal “Lawsuit”
A formal personal injury case begins when the “plaintiff” (the injured party) files a civil “complaint” against another person, business, corporation, or government agency. The plaintiff is alleging that they acted recklessly or irresponsibly in correlation with an accident or injury, which caused harm. This action is primarily recognized as “filing a lawsuit”.
Informal Settlement
In truth, most disputes over liability for an accident or injury are solved through informal early settlement. Typically among those personally situated in the dispute, their insurers, and attorneys representing both of the sides. A settlement will usually take the form of negotiation, then followed by a written agreement in which both sides forgo any further action (like filing a lawsuit), choosing instead to settle the matter through payment of an agreeable amount of money.
