Personal Injury

Personal Injury cases arise when a person is injured through the negligence or carelessness of another person, corporation, or a government entity. The most common example of such cases is an automobile accident. If the cases are not settled, a judge or a jury decides them. 

As is the case with Social Security Disability and Workers Compensation, the initial concept of Personal Injury cases was simple.  The injured person had to prove that it was “probable” that his injury was caused by the careless actions of another person, a corporation or a government agency. This simple idea has become very complex in practice.

Personal injury cases require a deep knowledge of the ever-changing law that controls such cases. As is the case with Social Security Disability cases and Workers Compensation cases, they require the ability to understand often-complex medical records. Personal injury cases require a highly experienced attorney with the ability to present the injured persons’ case in a vivid but understandable fashion first to claims personal and subsequently to a jury.
