After an accident, you aren’t just dealing with physical pain—you’re facing an unresolved fight against insurance companies and mounting bills. At Berry Law, we know that an injury doesn’t just hurt; it threatens your family’s future. You shouldn’t have to carry the weight of this fight alone.
The relentless team of Berry Law attorneys and legal professionals stands shoulder-to-shoulder with you, fighting to secure the benefits you deserve.
What Is a Bodily Injury Claim?
A bodily injury claim is a legal action taken when you have been injured due to another person’s negligence or wrongdoing. Unlike property damage, which covers “things,” this claim focuses on the harm done to you.
Most often, these claims are filed against an at-fault party’s insurance provider following incidents such as:
- Car accidents
- Trucking accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Slip and fall accidents
- Dog bites
- Workplace injuries
What Does a Bodily Injury Claim Cover?
We don’t just look for fair results; we fight to secure the full compensation required to restore your future. A successful claim can cover:
- Medical Expenses: This includes everything from the initial emergency room visit to surgery, physical therapy, chiropractic care, and even the anticipated costs of future medical care.
- Lost Income: If your injuries kept you from your mission at work, you can recover lost wages and the loss of future earning capacity.
- Pain and Suffering: This compensates for the physical pain and emotional trauma—such as anxiety or loss of enjoyment of life—that often follows a catastrophic injury.
Bodily Injury vs. Property Damage
It is important to distinguish between the two. In a vehicle collision, you likely have both:
- Bodily Injury: Covers your medical bills and physical recovery.
- Property Damage: Covers the repairs or replacement of your vehicle.
Berry Law’s Team Provides You With Multiple Attorney Perspectives
How to Prove Your Claim
You must demonstrate four key truths:
- The other party had a duty to act safely.
- They breached that duty.
- Their actions caused the incident.
- You suffered actual injuries as a result.
Our attorneys act as your guide, gathering the firepower needed for your case, including police reports, witness statements, medical records, expert testimony, and photo or video footage.
Deadlines: The Clock is Ticking
In the legal world, inaction is costly. Every state has a statute of limitations that sets a strict deadline for filing. For example, Nebraska generally has a four-year statute of limitations from the dates of the incident, while Iowa only has two. Waiting too long can end your case before it begins. It is critical to move with a sense of purpose.
