Personal Injury Litigation: Concepts and Practices

Whenever a person is injured due to the actions or, occasionally, the inaction of another person, it is possible that they have suffered a personal injury, and may be able to be compensated for their injuries, pain, and suffering.

Some of these injuries are physical injuries – broken bones, cuts, torn ligaments, amputations and even death. Other injuries are psychological in nature. Some of these injuries are costs in the form of lost wages from missed work, loss of future work and promotions, medical supplies and co- payments, and the loss of comfort and companionship of a spouse.
