In general, in order to file a claim for negligence in the US one must first have a cause of action. That means the individual filing the claim must show that they have been harmed in some way, that the harm was caused by a lack of care on the part of another party, that the other party had a duty to exercise care, and that the harm was foreseeable. If these elements exist, one can file a claim. The exact laws and requirements for different types of negligence cases will vary as will an individual court's rules and preferences for filing forms, so while hiring an attorney is not required consulting with an attorney familiar with proper local laws and practice is wise.
