Personal Injury

Personal injury law includes a spectrum of issues in which someone has been physically and/or emotionally harmed, and/or personal property has incurred damage. In the legal world, personal injury law is also known as “tort” law, tort being the French word for “wrong.” Personal injury law allows you to be compensated when another person’s intentional misconduct, recklessness, or carelessness injures or damages you or your personal belongings. An automobile accident is a standard example of the type of event covered by tort law. You must be able to prove injury from someone’s negligence in order to seek a monetary award for damages – you cannot recover anything if you were not harmed in some way. The law attempts to determine who may be responsible for causing injury and what the negligent party should pay for damages.
