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.
