Personal Injury – the area of the law which
involves civil cases designed to obtain compensation for injury to your
person. The personal injury attorney usually tries to negotiate with the
opposing party or their insurance company. If necessary, and if the
attorney thinks you have a good chance of winning, the case may go to
trial. The main concerns in a personal injury case are negligence and
liability. Before you can collect an award, your attorney will have to
prove that the defendant is liable. To prove liability, the attorney
must establish negligence. If there is a failure to exercise reasonable
care to prevent injury or damage then there may be negligence. Once
liability and negligence have been established, the judge or the jury
may award money to compensate for medical costs, lost wages and lost
future earnings as well as for pain and suffering.
