In a personal injury case, “factual allegations” allow you to tell your side of the story. Your personal injury attorney will use factual allegations to preface your case before a judge or jury. Factual allegations are more effective if they are concise and included in your initial complaint.

A number of studies have concluded that insurers tend to offer less money to settle personal injury cases when there isn't a personal injury attorney involved.

Do you know the difference between compensatory damages and punitive damages? Compensatory damages are paid to a plaintiff in a personal injury suit in order to help the plaintiff rebuild to the same or similar situation as before the injury occurred, while punitive damages are meant to penalize the defendant.
