PERSONAL INJURY OVERVIEW
Personal injury law settles legal disputes that arise when intentional or unintentional wrongdoing affects an individual (or individuals) psychologically or physically. Often attorneys who practice personal injury law work on cases that involve accidental collisions, wrongful death, medical malpractice, product liability, or injury in the workplace. Personal injury cases are often settled informally before a lawsuit is filed. However, when a formal civil lawsuit is filed, plaintiffs have a statute of limitations that begins from the moment when they first discover the injury or when they are first injured.
