When a person is injured because of the negligence or wrongdoing of another party, a personal injury attorney is often consulted to provide legal representation. This type of lawyer focuses on the legal rights of clients who have been harmed due to another person’s negligence or wrongdoing. A lawyer specializing in personal injury is considered to be a personal representative of his or her client, and works closely with that person’s representatives and family members to build a case in court and in the courtroom. Personal injury law covers a wide range of important issues, from workers’ compensation to medical malpractice to automobile accident claims.
In addition to representing a client who has been harmed as the result of another’s negligence or wrongdoing, a personal injury lawyer can also help clients recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, disfigurement, permanent scars, loss of love and affection, and more. Many people who have been seriously injured in an accident find it difficult to work or hold down a job; in some cases, workers will be unable to return to work due to their injuries. Personal injury attorneys provide legal representation and consultation to a client’s family, and friends, as well as to employers and other individuals who have been injured in accidents on the job. They also provide legal assistance to relatives of these workers who are injured on the job. In general, personal injury claims require the submission of various documents, such as medical records documenting the injury, pictures of the injury, police reports detailing the accident and witness statements.
In many personal injury claims, a settlement is reached before a trial. For this reason, it is not uncommon for personal injury lawyers to take on a number of clients at one time. This practice is also common within the family law field, as divorce and custody battles often hinge on the validity of a settlement agreement. Personal injury lawyers help their clients navigate the often complex legal system and then advise them accordingly. Because settlements can only be achieved with court approval, it is important that personal injury lawyers work closely with their clients to ensure a successful settlement.
