Personal Injury Lawyer
Nearly everyone has themselves or knows of someone who has said "I'm going to sue!". Well, most of these would-be cases would likely fall under the category of personal injury, and in such a situation, it might be time to consult a personal injury lawyer. This widely sweeping area of the law covers dozens of injuries or wrongs ("torts"), and is also referred to as tort law.
Tort law, the specialty of the personal injury lawyer, differs from criminal law in that the cases are of a civil rather than criminal nature. You may say that it is "criminal" that your landlord left ice on the steps that you fell on, but it is technically a matter of civil law. In such an example, the result wouldn't be someone going to jail, but would likely be monetary damages.
The difference between hiring a good personal injury attorney and one who is not as qualified can make a huge difference in the ultimate cash result, if indeed you do get a settlement or judicial result in your favor. The following pages can help guide you through the sometime tricky area of finding a personal injury lawyer, what they do, how much it will cost you and other major areas you'll come across when looking for a personal injury lawyer to represent you.
