Personal injury is an area of law designed to protect those harmed by the negligence, recklessness, malpractice, or inaction of others. Also called tort law , personal injury law encompasses a full range of legal claims, from wrongful death, auto accidents, and medical malpractice to dog bites , product liability, and work related accidents. Each victim can file a personal injury claim for physical injury, emotional injury, and, occasionally, for property damages. Further, in some cases - such as those involving medical malpractice or wrongful death - the family of the injured or deceased can file suit on behalf of its loved one.

Those who file personal injury claims may be eligible to receive damages, namely financial compensation for their loss of income, pain and suffering, emotional distress, permanent disability, and other resulting injuries.

Car/Auto Accidents and Personal Injury

Car accidents are one of the most common sources of personal injury. Most are minor fender-benders, but a shocking number cause severe injury, permanent disability, and even death. With these traumas often come pain and suffering, emotional distress, lost wages, medical expenses, and property damage - all of which may constitute financial compensation. Sadly, though, many auto accident victims never receive the full amount of damages to which they are entitled to for their car accidents. The major reason is that, because they don't know the full worth of their claims, auto accident victims accept the first offers that insurance companies make - and it's no secret that these insurance companies try to get off cheap. That said, it is crucial to enlist the help of a qualified personal injury lawyer if you are to be fairly compensated.
