Personal Injury Law

Personal Injury law

Accidents can readily occur at any moment and without any warning. It does not make a difference if you are at work, on the road, or even in the comfort of your own home, anybody can end up injured. Personal injuries even occur when a responsible person is taking all the proper precautions. In most of these cases, the physical injuries sustained are minor. However, in some cases, the resulting injuries are more serious, and can even leave an individual with permanent debilitating conditions or even claim their life. The financial burden imposed on the victims of a personal injury case, which often includes medical expenses and loss of wages, can be overwhelming for some. For this reason, personal injury laws entitle victims of an accident to compensation for their financial losses and pain and suffering if there is proof of negligence on the behalf of the second party involved.

The most common personal injury cases include:

Traffic Accidents: Traffic accidents are vehicle-related incidents that result in either personal injury and/or property damage.

Work Accidents: Work accidents occur during working hours in which an employee suffers damages to their health or loss of life.

Slip and Fall: Slip and fall accidents are the result of negligence by a property owner in which he or she permitted dangerous conditions to exist that caused an individual to slip, trip, or fall.

Assault Claims: Assault claims are any intentionally or voluntarily violent act against another individual.

Product Liability: Product liability occurs when manufacturers, merchants, or distributors of a specific product are liable for any damages stemming from the use of their product.

Structured settlements are often used in many personal injury cases to ensure financial stability over a long period, or in some cases, for the rest of the victim’s life. Structured settlement payments are directly made to the plaintiff over fixed periods
