Personal Injury

Personal injury law protects individuals who have been physically or emotionally harmed due to another party’s negligence. This negligence could involve a car accident, slip and fall on someone else’s property, medical malpractice, or even product defects. If you’ve been injured and it wasn’t your fault, personal injury law allows you to seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you navigate the legal process, gather evidence, and fight for the maximum compensation you deserve.

What is considered a personal injury?

A personal injury is any physical or emotional harm caused by the negligence of another person or entity. This negligence could be due to an action (like a car accident) or inaction (like failing to maintain safe property). Examples of personal injuries include:

  • Car accidents
  • Slip and falls
  • Dog bites
  • Medical malpractice
  • Product defects
  • Wrongful death (caused by another's negligence)
Do I have a personal injury case?

To have a personal injury case, you generally need to prove three things:

  1. Duty: The other party had a legal duty to act in a safe way (e.g., a driver has a duty to obey traffic laws).
  2. Breach: The other party breached that duty (e.g., the driver ran a red light).
  3. Causation: The breach of duty caused your injury (e.g., the red light violation caused your car accident).
  4. Damages: You suffered some form of compensable loss as a result of your injury. (e.g., medical bills, lost wages) or non-economic (pain and suffering, emotional distress).
Do I need a lawyer for a personal injury case?

While it's not always mandatory, having an experienced personal injury lawyer on your side can significantly increase your chances of receiving fair compensation. Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts, and a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf and ensure your rights are protected.
