Personal injury law is the area of law concerned with people who are hurt due to others' negligence. Quite a few personal injury claims are filed after car accidents, but there are many other types of accidents that can lead to injury, including dog bites, slip-and-fall accidents, recreational accidents, premises liability claims and more.
Even a seemingly minor accident can have major consequences. You might be unable to work or care for loved ones. Medical bills can start to pile up, even if you have insurance. Some accidents cause long-term psychological damage that requires ongoing counseling. You might be left with chronic pain. You might be permanently disabled.
