If someone else's negligence or wrongful conduct caused your injury, you may have a claim. Every case is different and depends on the specific facts and circumstances.
The value of a case depends on factors such as the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost income, future damages, and the circumstances surrounding the accident.
You are not required to have an attorney, but insurance companies are focused on protecting their interests. An attorney can help protect your rights and evaluate whether a settlement is fair.
Being partially responsible does not necessarily prevent you from pursuing a claim. The effect of your share of responsibility depends on the circumstances and applicable law.
