Personal Injury
Personal injury law is that area of the law which provides compensation to victims or survivors for death, injury, or damage to a person. The injury or damage may be physical, emotional or both.
The recovery in a personal injury or medical malpractice case may include compensation as follows:
1. Physical and emotional pain and suffering related to the injury;
2. Lost wages and medical bills;
3. Scarring or disfigurement;
4. Embarrassment or humiliation;
5. Death of a family member;
6. Loss or reduction of the marital relationship or any loss or
reduction of the services, advice or companionship of a family member.
It is important to note that personal injury and medical malpractice lawsuits have been responsible for countless safety improvements in our cars, machines, clothing and other consumer products we use every day, as well as prompted the development of better and safer medical practices and technology. In fact, the failure to bring personal injury and medical malpractice cases, which would expose improper and unsafe conduct, serves only to encourage and condone dangerous practices, and to permit further unnecessary injury or loss of life.
