Every year, millions of Americans suffer personal injury as a consequence of the negligence, recklessness, inaction, or wrongdoing of another. Despite being a relatively common occurrence, injuries can have devastating effects—physical, emotional, and financial—for those who suffer them. Victims of personal injury have legal rights defined by an area of law known as tort law, which offers individuals who have been injured a legal remedy for their losses and suffering.
If you or a loved one has suffered personal injury through no fault of your own, you may be eligible to file a legal claim and recover your damages. Please contact us today to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney who can help you maximize your legal rights.
Personal Injury Claims
Personal injury claims may be filed for any number of reasons, including the following:
An individual who has suffered a serious injury because of these or other reasons may file a civil claim—known as a personal injury lawsuit—in a court of law against the person, company, government agency, or other entity accused of causing the damage or harm. If the injury results in death, the victim’s family may be eligible to file a personal injury lawsuit on behalf of their loved one.
Because personal injury lawsuits are subject to a statute of limitations, which vary by state, victims should consult with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure their legal rights are fully protected.
Personal Injury and Your Legal Rights
Those who have been injured through no fault of their own may be able to seek both economic and non-economic damages through a personal injury lawsuit.
