Personal
Injury & Torts
- the area of the law 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.
