I cannot forget that evening of last Sunday, when I and my friend were returning home from a party. I was busy in talking myself out and suddenly our car was hit by this SUV and in no time everything turned into disaster. I was safe fortunately but my friend suffered from a sever leg injury. That was the first time when I came to know about personal injury law.
This legal term, Personal injury' stands for any injury happened to your body, emotions or mind. It is unlawful to make any type of assault on mind or body. The victim can file a case against the person who caused the injury and ask for compensation for the same, if proven in the court.
A personal injury lawyer fights to get monetary compensation for the injured against the negligence of other party. There are many qualified lawyers who can fight case for you but you need to make sure that you choose the best out of the whole bunch.Most of the attorneys fight on 'NO win, NO fee'' basis, which means that you can ask your advocate to fight the case for free and take a pre-decided percentage of compensation you get. In this way you are free of paying in the situation of losing and the lawyer can take money only after winning the case.
More than fifty percent of such cases are of road accidents in which it is easy to prove the other party guilty. Apart from this a personal injury lawyer fights case for product liability, Wrongful Death, Construction Accidents, Slip and fall, Work Related Injuries etc. Under Product liability all the parties whether manufacturer, distributor or retailer is punished for making those products available in the market which cause harm to public. They are held responsible for their action and can be challenged for the same in court.
Apart from this a personal injury lawyer can get you compensated against any loss of amenity. He can prove how some injury has deprived you of your job and affected your life. For instance a football player suffering from leg injury may ask for it, since he cannot play due to this. This compensation is provided for the pain and suffering caused to anyone.
There are other situations in which you may need a personal injury lawyer, for instance, when a dog bites you or you get hurt while working. He is the one you can back upon for getting compensation in all such matters.
