Personal Injury Attorney

Personal Injury is the legal term for injury to ones body, mind, or emotions. It does not include any injury to property. Personal Injury cases fall under tort law, and are civil, not criminal, so no criminal action is taken. Retribution is usually monetary, and can include retribution for loss of earnings (both current and future), pain and suffering, as well as reasonable payment of medical expenses. Personal Injury cases can be tried before a judge with or without a lawyer. Cases arise from incidents such as automobile accidents, assaults, product defects, and slips and falls. Wrongful death cases also fall into this category. In order to win a personal injury case, it must be proven that the defendant is liable, and, to be found liable negligence must be proven.
