Personal injury law encompasses legal remedies and defenses for individuals who have suffered harm due to the negligence, recklessness, or intentional acts of another person, business, or entity. These cases arise from incidents such as car accidents, slip and falls, medical malpractice, and more. Personal injury claims aim to provide financial compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, emotional distress, and pain and suffering. A successful personal injury case often requires proving that the responsible party had a duty of care, breached that duty, and caused harm as a direct result. Victims are encouraged to act swiftly, as statutes of limitations can limit the time to file a claim.
