What Is Personal Injury Law?

    ATLANTA, GA, February 21, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- At the most difficult points in your life you are most in need of help. However, you're also in the worst position imaginable to find that help. After suffering a personal injury, you're likely in pain, enduring significant emotional distress and worrying about money. It can seem like you're all alone. Fortunately, you have access to personal injury lawyers who can fight for you and get you the justice and compensation you deserve.

Personal injury law is a complicated area of legal practice dealing with cases that, generally speaking, revolve around injuries caused by the negligent actions of another. Personal injury lawyers try to get victims the financial compensation they are entitled to through litigation and negotiation with the parties responsible.

Types of Cases

Not at all accidents and injuries make for sound personal injury cases. After all, sometimes people do get hurt and no one's to blame. Often, however, your injury has been caused by the negligence and misconduct of another person. When that's the case, you should speak with a personal injury lawyer, as he or she might be able to help you get justice for your pain and suffering.

Personal injury law is a broad term that encompasses a number of different types of cases.

Those include:

- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Dog bites
- Dangerous premises
- Defective products
- Medical malpractice
- Wrongful death
- Construction accidents

You should speak with a personal injury lawyer if you're unclear whether or not your case qualifies.

What You're Entitled To

As a victim of a significant personal injury, you might be entitled to monetary damages as a result of your case. Those damages often cover more than you might think. You might receive monetary damages for:

- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress

No personal injury lawyer can guarantee you a specific settlement, and what you are entitled to is determined by the specifics of your case.
