Personal Injury
Personal injury claims and lawsuits arise when people are injured by the careless or intentional acts of others, or are injured by products that are defective in some way.
When someone is determined to be legally responsible for injuring someone else, they are liable for the injury, and may be made to pay the injured person’s compensatory damages.
Compensatory damages attempt to put an injured person back in the position he or she was in before being injured. They include, for example, medical bills, lost wages, and the repair or replacement of your vehicle.

In some cases, though not frequently, punitive damages are also awarded in these lawsuits. Punitive damages are intended to punish wrongdoers (especially, for example, drunk drivers) and to prevent them from harming others.
