Our Philaldephia personal injury lawyers practice in a broad area of civil law, specifically called “tort” law, which allows victims of personal injury to seek compensation for their losses and suffering. Generally defined, personal injury is, “a civil wrong or wrongful act, whether intentional or accidental, from which injury occurs to another.” Personal injury cases usually involve bodily injury caused by another’s actions or negligence.
There are many types of personal injury cases in which the injured or aggrieved may seek compensation for their damages. The following are major areas of personal injury litigation: wrongful death, medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, automobile accidents, auto defect-related injuries, slip and fall, exposure to toxic substances, work related injuries, defective drugs, malfunctioning medical devices and other products, premise injuries, construction accidents, and more.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a personal injury situation, it is important to speak with a qualified and experienced attorney to protect and maximize your legal interests. You may be eligible to seek compensation for medical expenses, past and future loss of wages, reduction in earning capacity, and other out-of-pocket expenses. You may also be able to receive compensation for pain and suffering, loss of consortium, disability, and other non-economic losses.
Every case of personal injury is subject to a statute of limitations which restricts the time you have to file a personal injury claim. This makes it even more important to learn about your legal rights before it is too late. We invite you to explore the personal injury section of our website to gain a better understanding about these cases.
