Personal
Injury & Torts
is
the area of law that involves civil law 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.
