Personal Injury Litgation
Personal injury is an injury to a person’s body or mind. Personal injury litigation involves lawsuits based on tort law, which is a broad area of law that covers behaviours that cause injury, suffering or harm to another person.
The term litigation refers to the process of taking legal action through the court system for the purpose of seeking monetary damages. Some examples of personal injury cases are slip and fall claims, negligence related injuries, including car accidents and unsafe premises and injuries related to defective products. Damage awards compensate plaintiffs for pain and suffering and economic losses for medical bills, lost wages, property damage and cost of future care.
