Who Has to Pay For Your Personal Injury Claim?

You’re standing on the side of the road, when suddenly, a car spins out of control, nearly hitting you. You jump out of the way to avoid it, injuring your knee in the process. Now you’ve got a massive surgery bill to pay. But the car never made contact with you — so who’s at fault?According to Stan Gipe, in situations like this (and many other uncommon scenarios), the car doesn’t have to make contact with you to have a claim against the driver. It’s an act of negligence that caused your injury, therefore, it’s a valid claim.  Learn more in this episode of the David vs. Goliath podcast with elite personal injury lawyers Matt Dolman and Stan Gipe.
