PERSONAL INJURY
What is a personal injury?
A personal injury occurs when the negligence of one person or group causes injury to another person. In personal injury cases, negligence may be either an action or inaction. The guilty party may have directly caused the victim's injury by behaving recklessly or may have caused the injury by failing to prevent it when he or she had the duty to do so.
What types of cases are considered personal injury cases?
Some examples of possible personal injury cases include: slip and fall injuries, nursing home abuse or neglect, automobile accidents, wrongful death, brain injuries, and on-the-job injuries.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
In most cases, personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means that you will not have to pay any money unless your case is won, and then the attorney's fee is based on a percentage of the compensation you receive.
