Personal Injury laws offer relief to an injured party in the form of fair compensation if claims are pursued. In some cases, a jury will also award additional punitive damages to victims. If you are injured, it is important to get experienced legal representation right away, to protect all your rights. The same holds true if you are accused of negligent behavior that resulted in an injury accident, because you could be in jeopardy of being convicted of criminal charges.
These accidents happen when someone does not follow normal standards of care in performing their duties. Traffic accidents, medical errors, construction site accidents, slip and fall accidents and other accidents cause all kinds of bodily harm to victims, from simple bruises to loss of life.
The scope of cases included under Personal Injury law includes accidents that happen in many areas of life, such as:
- Vehicle Accidents – Drivers who are guilty of distracted driving, driving while fatigued, violating traffic laws, making improper turns, and other negligent behaviors cause injury accidents.
- Workplace Accidents – Violations of safety rules, faulty equipment use, lack of hazard warnings, failure to keep floors and walkways cleared and other incidents at work affect workers as well as visitors.
