The Role of Personal Injury Attorneys Helping Accident Victims Obtain Compensation

When someone is injured by the careless or intentional acts of another party, it is a personal injury attorney who uses state laws and the civil courts to force the responsible party to pay compensation to the victim. Attorneys practicing in the area of personal injury law or torts must be skilled litigators capable of presenting evidence in court to convince judges and jurors to award damages to the victims.

  • Personal injury cases can arise in a number of different ways, including: Motor vehicle accidents: Collisions between two or more vehicles, crashes involving a single vehicle and an object in the road, and collisions with pedestrians and bicyclists are some examples of accidents involving vehicles.
  • Premises liability: The owner of a house or commercial building can be held liable for accidents that take place on his or her property due to cracked or broken sidewalks, faulty stairs, and fires caused by faulty electrical wiring.
  • Medical malpractice: Malpractice occurs when injures occur because the level of care provided by a doctor was below the standards the law requires of the profession.
  • Products liability: When a person is injured by a defective product, the manufacturer and seller of the item could be held liable for the damages suffered by victim.

Compensation could include the cost of medical care, rehabilitation expenses, lost earnings, and pain and suffering. Obtaining the maximum settlement or verdict in a personal injury case requires having a proficient and knowledgeable personal injury attorney reviewing accident and medical reports, interviewing witnesses and thoroughly investigating an incident on behalf of an accident victim.
