Personal injury claims are made when someone suffers injuries, damages and/or losses caused by another’s fault or negligence. These laws are part of civil or torts laws and are different from criminal laws, where crimes are committed and the state prosecutes the wrong-doer. In civil cases, there is a dispute between two parties. These claims are intended to provide compensation and help the injured person restore their circumstances as far as possible to what they were prior to the accident.

If you were hurt in an automobile accident, were attacked by a dog/pet, suffered injuries in a slip and fall accident, denied disability benefits etc, personal injury lawyers can help you get the compensation you deserve.

Getting great deals for a personal injury depends on the circumstances of your case, nature/extent of injuries, damage, losses suffered, and establishment of liability of the at-fault party, your insurance coverage and several other factors. Experienced personal injury lawyers, located near you, with specific expertise/knowledge in successfully handling cases like yours are your best bet.

Most reputed firms offer first, free, no-obligations consultation. You can discuss your case, understand your rights, entitlements, risks and opportunities. Clients can also clarify all their doubts regarding fees, time-line, getting interim funds till settlement, etc. Almost all personal injury lawyers work on a contingency-fee, no win-no fee basis, so no fees are charged upfront. Select a personal injury lawyer with negotiation skills, because most personal injury claims are settled out-of-court. Ensure that they also have trial skills, in case negotiations are unfruitful.
