Do You Have a Valid Maine Personal Injury Claim?

Personal injury claims are built on the legal principle of negligence. To recover compensation, you must generally show that another party acted carelessly and that their actions directly caused your injuries and losses. In most cases, this requires proving 4 key elements:

  1. Duty of Care: The other party had a legal responsibility to act reasonably and safely.
  2. Breach of Duty: That party failed to meet their responsibility.
  3. Causation: Their actions caused your injury.
  4. Damages: You suffered measurable losses, such as medical bills or lost income.

Your attorney can review the details of your accident to determine whether negligence occurred and who may be responsible.

Maine’s Comparative Negligence Rule

Maine follows a modified comparative negligence rule, which could affect the compensation you may receive in a personal injury case. Under this rule:

  • You can recover damages as long as you’re less than 50% at fault for the accident, but your compensation may be reduced.
  • You can’t recover damages if you’re 50% or more at fault.

Insurance companies often try to assign more blame to injury victims to reduce payouts. A knowledgeable injury attorney can help protect you from unfair blame.

Deadline to File an Injury Lawsuit in Maine

All injury claims must be filed within a specific timeframe known as the statute of limitations. In Maine, you generally have 6 years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, certain cases may have shorter deadlines, sometimes as little as 30 days.

Missing the filing deadline can permanently prevent you from recovering compensation. For this reason, contact a personal injury lawyer in Maine as soon as possible after an accident.

Compensation You Can Recover If You Were Injured in Maine

A successful personal injury claim may allow you to recover compensation for both the tangible and intangible losses you suffered due to someone else’s negligence. These damages are divided into 2 main categories:

Economic damages compensate you for the financial losses caused an injury. These typically include:

  • Medical expenses: Payment for past, current, and future medical care related to your injury
  • Lost wages: Compensation for the income you lost while recovering and unable to work
  • Loss of earning capacity: Compensation if your injuries affect your ability to earn a living in the future
  • Property damage: Costs to repair or replace property damaged in the accident

Non-economic damages compensate you for losses that don’t have a clear dollar value but still have a major impact on your life. These damages can include:

  • Pain and suffering: Compensation for the physical discomfort and emotional distress caused by your injury
  • Loss of enjoyment of life: If your injuries prevent you from enjoying hobbies, activities, or daily life the way you did before
  • Emotional distress: Including anxiety, depression, and other psychological impacts after an accident
  • Loss of consortium: Compensation for the impact the injury has on your relationship with your spouse

 

How Much Is Your Injury Case Worth?

Every personal injury case is different. The value of your claim depends on several factors, including:

  • Severity of your injuries
  • Medical expenses
  • Long-term disability or impairment
  • Impact on your ability to work
  • Pain and suffering
  • Insurance coverage available

A qualified attorney from our Maine injury law firm can evaluate your case, estimate the potential value of your claim, and help make sure the full impact of your losses is covered. Reach out today to learn what your claim may be worth.

Throughout the duration of my case, everyone I have dealt with in your firm has been very kind, courteous and very helpful.  My lawyer did not give up and fought for what was rightfully owed to me, even though the process was timely.  I am 100% percent satisfied with the service I was provided with.  The case went smooth, and I was always treated with respect and courtesy.  I thought I wouldn’t have been treated so well being a younger client!

Maine Personal Injury FAQs

The length of a personal injury case depends on factors such as the severity of your injuries, how clear liability is, and whether the insurance company is willing to negotiate fairly. Some cases settle in a few months, while more complex claims may take a year or longer if a lawsuit is necessary. An experienced Maine injury lawyer can help move your case forward and avoid unnecessary delays.

Winning a personal injury case requires proving that another party’s negligence caused your injuries and damages. This often involves collecting evidence, medical records, and witness statements to support your claim. With strong evidence and experienced legal representation, many injury cases are successfully resolved through settlement or court.

Insurance companies often offer quick settlements that may not fully cover your medical bills, lost income, and other damages. Before accepting any offer, have an attorney review it to ensure it reflects the true value of your case. Accepting a settlement usually means you can’t pursue additional compensation later.

Most personal injury cases are resolved through settlement negotiations rather than going to trial. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, your attorney may recommend filing a lawsuit and presenting your case in court. Having a lawyer prepared to go to trial can also strengthen your position during negotiations.

While you aren’t legally required to hire a lawyer, having a personal injury attorney can greatly improve your chances of receiving fair compensation. An attorney can investigate the accident, handle communication with insurance companies, and advocate for your best interests. This allows you to focus on recovery while your legal team handles your claim.

Our personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay no upfront costs and only pay attorney fees if your lawyer successfully recovers compensation for you. This arrangement allows injury victims to pursue legal help without worrying about out-of-pocket legal expenses.
