He or she will also examine anything showing the injuries required medical attention, which resulted in substantial medical costs to treat the injury, out-of-pocket costs related to the accident, inability to work or earn because of the injuries, and continued\u00a0pain and suffering\u00a0caused by the injuries sustained from the accident.<\/p>\n<p>After the investigation is over, negotiations will begin.\u00a0 If a settlement cannot be reached, however, the injured party may wish to file a personal injury lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p><em>Since 1989, the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/clekis.com\/service\/personal-injury\/\">personal injury<\/a>\u00a0lawyers of Clekis Law Firm have been representing injured people and their families in Charleston and throughout the Low Country.
