Personal Injury Law

Gary L. Wilkins | Catherine Gemma | W. Cort Frohlich | James D. Gordon

When a person is injured in an accident, someone is often legally responsible for the losses resulting from those injuries. Personal injury is a branch of law that is designed to compensate victims for the harm caused by the careless or intentional actions of others.

Personal injury law encompasses a broad range of claims, including wrongful death, motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall, defective products, work injuries, animal bites, and numerous others.

To establish a personal injury claim, the injured person must be able to demonstrate that another party bears legal responsibility for the injuries. To establish responsibility for the personal injuries, two factors must be proven: 1. liability (culpability), and 2. damages (losses)

Liability: Liability in personal injury law is largely divided into three categories: intentional wrongs, negligence, and strict liability.

Damages: Depending on the circumstances of the case, an injured person can seek damages for physical injury, lost earnings, impairment of future earnings, lifestyle changes, loss of support to loved ones, property damage, and past, present and future medical care and expenses.
