UNDERSTANDING PERSONAL INJURY: WHAT IT IS AND HOW LAWYERS CAN HELP
Personal injury includes any harm to your body, mind, or feelings that happens because someone else was careless or reckless. In personal injury law, to have a valid case, three things must be shown: damages, liability, and causation. Damages are the injuries you suffered, both physically and emotionally. Liability means proving that someone did something wrong or didn't do something they were supposed to do. Causation shows that your injuries were directly caused by the other person's action or inaction. Personal injury lawyers help make sense of these points and work to make sure victims get the compensation and justice they deserve.
