Personal Injury Litigation
Personal injury is the name given to the branch of tort law (civil litigation) that covers any wrong or damage done to another in his person, property, rights, or reputation. A personal injury can happen at work, in a traffic accident, because of a faulty product or a faulty repair, because of a mistake during medical treatment, or because you slipped and fell on a wet floor or pavement.
Personal injury actions span a wide range of cases. Some examples are:
| • Accounting malpractice | • Animal bite injuries |
| • Auto accidents | • Back injuries |
| • Birth injuries | • Brain injuries |
| • Burn injuries | • Bus accidents |
| • Car accidents | • Catastrophic injuries |
| • Construction defects | • Construction accidents |
| • Debt Management/Debt Settlement law violations | • Dog bite injuries |
| • Fair Debt Collection Practices Act violations | • Head injuries |
| • Job accidents | • Medical malpractice injuries |
| • Minimum wage violations | • Motorcycle accidents |
| • Neck injuries | • Nursing home abuse |
| • Other serious injuries | • Overtime wage violations |
| • Slip and fall injuries | • Spinal injuries |
| • Surgical errors | • Trucking accidents |
| • Vehicle collisions | • Whiplash injuries |
| • Workplace injuries | • Wrongful death |
| • Wrongful foreclosure |
The personal injury can be physical or psychological but, to be considered actionable, it must occur due to the negligence or unreasonably unsafe actions of your employer, a manufacturer, your doctor, your landlord, or some other person or organization who owes you a duty of ordinary care.
