What Is Personal Injury Law?
Personal injury is the name given to the branch of tort law that covers any wrong or damage done to another’s person, property, rights, or reputation. A personal injury can happen at work, in a traffic accident, because of a faulty product or a faulty repair, because of a mistake during medical treatment, or because you slipped and fell on a wet floor or pavement. Personal injuries can also be any injury resulting from libel, slander, malicious prosecution, or false arrest, any bodily injury, sickness, disease, or death sustained by any person and caused by an occurrence for which the state, or anyone else may be held liable. The personal injury can be physical or psychological but, to be considered actionable, it must occur due to the negligence or unreasonably unsafe actions of your employer, a manufacturer, your doctor, your landlord, or some other person or organization who owes you a duty of ordinary care.

Our practice areas include: Auto Accidents, Truck Accidents, Medical Mistakes, Defective Drugs, Birth Injuries, Slip and Fall, Nursing Home Neglect, Workers Compensation, Social Security Disability, and Wrongful Death, just to name a few.

How Does a Personal Injury Case Work?
Personal injury claims must be brought within a specific period of time after the accident, after which they become ‘statute barred’ and will not succeed. The length of this strict time limit varies from state to state, but is shorter than in most other types of cases and is usually 2 years. It is very important that you see an attorney soon after your accident, rather than waiting until just before the expiration of the statute of limitations. If there is insufficient time left before the statute of limitations expires, an attorney may not consider that they will be able to undertake the necessary pre-filing work in time and refuse to take your case.

What If I Was Hurt At Work?
If you were hurt at work, you may be eligible for what is called Workers’ Compensation.  Workers Compensation claims are also handled by personal injury Attorneys. The purpose of workers’ compensation, is to provide assistance when a worker is harmed (including a worsened preexisting condition) that arises in the scope of employment. This means that anyone personally injured while working or through work-related matters. If payments from workers comp run out and you still need financial help contact our Personal injury Attorneys for options.   Click here for more information on Workers’ Compensation.
