Personal Injury & Wrongful Death
Personal injury falls under Tort
Law. Personal Injury involves civil law cases where you are trying
to obtain compensation for an injury you sustained to your person.
Before you can collect an award, your personal injury lawyer will
have to prove that the defendant is liable. To prove liability,
the attorney must also establish negligence.
If there is any failure on your part to exercise reasonable care
to prevent injury or damage then there may be comparative (or
contributory) negligence, where you and the other party both are
at some degree of fault. If you win, you may receive money (an
award) to compensate for medical costs, lost wages and lost future
earnings as well as possibly for pain and suffering and punitive
damages.
