Personal Injury
Personal injury is an area of law that allows an injured person to sue to recover monetary damages from the person or party that is responsible for that injury and subsequent damages. For example, if you were driving along and another driver ran into you for some reason, such as poor driving skills, speeding, or a wrong turn or lane change. You end up physically injured, and your car is totaled. Maybe passengers riding with you are also injured. Maybe you are hurt very badly, requiring emergency care, a hospital stay, or an operation due to internal injuries. You get the picture.
Imagine if the injury is permanent such as a head injury (traumatic brain injury) which impairs your mobility or speech, or a back injury which prevents you from returning to the job you used to do. You would want to be compensated – meaning get a financial award in line with your incurred expenses as well as future expenses. You would need your car replaced as well.
The point is with personal injury, trained, experienced lawyers like Bobby Phillips and his associates are often needed to fight or negotiate with the insurance company of the responsible party to get you a settlement that will ideally compensate you. If there is no insurance company, you still can sue the responsible party directly. The worse the injury and damages, the more you will need legal help.
In this brief video, “Should I Call My Insurance Company?” Bobby Phillips offers his opinion on this question.

” Yes, you should notify your company, particularly because if your car has been damaged, sometimes you can get your car repaired sooner using your own company. They will then contact the other driver’s insurance company and recover what they’ve paid you, but you get your car fixed quicker and you have more control over it. “
