What is a Personal Injury case?
Personal injury cases involve those where a person has sustained some form of injury, either physically or mentally. Injuries can arise in many different contexts. Sometimes injuries are minor, such as a laceration or whiplash claim. Other times, personal injury claims can be devastating, such as wrongful death claims. Regardless of the severity, these cases often become complex, and the assistance of an attorney is needed to enable an injured person to be fully and rightfully compensated.

If a person sustains an injury through the fault of another person or a business entity [negligence, recklessness, intentional conduct], the at-fault party can be held financially responsible for the injuries sustained. Most often, insurance coverage is available; however, the insurance companies are not quick to acknowledge responsibility, and they won’t offer adequate compensation to make a person whole from damages sustained. Personal injury attorneys are able to step in as an advocate for injured persons so that they can be paid what they are entitled to receive.

The most common personal injury claim is for injuries sustained in automobile accidents. However, there are many other situations where injuries sustained can be compensable, such as: slip and fall claims, dog bite claims, defective product claims, medical malpractice claims, and premises liability claims [injuries sustained on the property of another].

Definition of Personal Injury Law:
Personal injury law, which is known academically as
tort law, is a legal doctrine that grants the right to compensation for injury caused by another's criminal act. Unlike criminal law, which is intended to punish the criminal, tort law is concerned with paying the victim for their suffering. This large field is primarily dedicated to civil crimes that cause injury or loss. Subdisciplines include
negligence characterized by a failure to take care reasonably. Also,
strict liability, which is associated with a party being held responsible regardless of the cause of the damage (e.g., in the case of defective products). Finally,
intentional torts, which include assault and battery. The objective of tort law is to instill a legal mechanism for holding individuals accountable and restoring them to their pre-trauma state through monetary compensation. These damages can compensate for medical costs, lost income, and suffering pain and discomfort. The weight of the evidence in a tort case is the predominance of the evidence, which is lower than the criminal's standard of proof.
