What You Need to Know about Personal Injury Law
What is a Personal Injury Lawyer?
A personal injury lawyer specializes in providing legal representation to individuals who have been physically or psychologically injured due to the negligence or wrongdoing of another person, company, government entity, or organization. Personal injury lawyers have extensive knowledge and experience in the area of tort law, which covers civil wrongs and injuries caused by negligence.
The primary goal of a personal injury lawyer is to advocate for their clients’ rights and help them seek compensation for their losses and damages resulting from the injury. They work diligently to build a strong case by gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, consulting with experts, and assessing the extent of their clients’ injuries and related financial, emotional, and physical effects.
How to Find a Personal Injury Lawyer that’s Right for You
It’s important to trust your instincts when selecting a personal injury lawyer. Choose someone who instills confidence, demonstrates professionalism, and genuinely cares about your well-being and the outcome of your case. You should also consider the payment model a lawyer uses – some lawyers charge hourly, though other lawyers, us included, work on a contingency basis. This means we only receive payment if we win your case.
When choosing a personal injury lawyer, you should also verify the lawyer’s credentials, such as their education, licenses, and memberships in professional organizations. Check if they have any disciplinary actions or complaints filed against them. Look for accolades or recognition from legal associations, as these can indicate a lawyer’s reputation and dedication to their field.

How a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Help
How a Personal Injury Lawsuit Works
Personal injury laws (also known as tort laws) exist to protect you if you are injured due to someone else’s actions.
Within personal injury law is the subset of medical malpractice law. Medical malpractice encompasses personal injury cases that are the result of the actions of a doctor, technician, nurse, dentist, or any other medical professional.
Here’s a general overview of how a personal injury lawsuit typically works:
- Consultation with an attorney: The first step is to consult with a personal injury attorney who specializes in this area of law. They will evaluate your case, assess the strength of your claim, and advise you on the legal options available to you.
- Investigation: If you decide to move forward with a lawsuit, your attorney will conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding your injury. This may involve gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, reviewing medical records, and consulting with experts if necessary.
- Filing the complaint: Your attorney will draft a legal document called a complaint or petition, which outlines the details of your case, including the injuries you have suffered, the negligent actions of the defendant, and the compensation you are seeking. The complaint is then filed with the appropriate court and served to the defendant.
- Discovery: Both parties engage in the discovery process, where they exchange information and evidence relevant to the case. This may include written questions (interrogatories), document requests, depositions, and other forms of evidence gathering.
- Settlement negotiations: Before going to trial, there is often an opportunity for settlement negotiations. Your attorney, along with the defendant’s attorney and insurance representatives, may engage in discussions to reach a settlement agreement. If a fair settlement is reached, the case can be resolved without going to trial.
- Trial: If a settlement cannot be reached, the case proceeds to trial. During the trial, both sides present their arguments, evidence, and witness testimonies to the judge or jury. The judge or jury then determines whether the defendant is liable for the injuries and, if so, the amount of compensation to be awarded.
- Appeal: After a trial, either party may have the option to appeal the court’s decision if they believe there were legal errors or other grounds for appeal. The appeals process can extend the duration of the case.
