Former New England Patriot Joe Andruzzi was photographed carrying an injured woman after the Boston Marathon explosion. Andruzzi is no stranger to heroic acts during times of crisis. His three brothers are New York firefighters, who aided in helping survivors on 9/11. From New York to Boston, it's often in the midst of national tragedy that we discover people who are kind, and people who are brave enough to run toward the terror.

Fortunately for "patriots" like Andruzzi, who aided the dying or injured after the Boston Marathon Explosion, Good Samaritan laws are in place to protect them from suits for negligence.

Personal injury law only works if you bring a claim, but before filing an injury lawsuit there are important steps that you have to take.

The lawsuit will lead to a hearing and at the hearing, you need to have evidence if you want to prove your case. Without it, you're just wasting your time with a round of he said/she said before the judge. It's not a winning strategy.

But some evidence is time sensitive and you need to have it before you file your claim. Take note of what you're going to need so you won't be taken by surprise.

Civil cases are based on injury and harm. They form an area of law known as “torts,” but that doesn’t mean they’re entirely separate from crimes.

Legally, the two are separate. Personal injury claims fall under Part III of the Massachusetts General Laws while criminal cases fall under Part IV. But often criminal cases give rise to civil claims.

That’s because a criminal prosecution doesn’t directly benefit the victim. So when a crime results in injury that racks up medical costs and other bills, a civil case is the best option.

But the outcome of the criminal case can have a big impact.

For many, that means roof damage or downed power lines as well. But who is legally responsible?

It's not just a hypothetical question. Unless you want to pay the costs of repair out of pocket, it's time to figure out who is required to pay and how to get the money.
