Personal injury law, or tort law, is the area of law that addresses the injuries suffered by individuals as a result of the negligence of other persons or companies. It includes, but is not limited to personal injury actions arising out of automobile accidents, medical malpractice, dental malpractice, lead paint poisoning, product liability, worker's compensation cases, slip and fall accidents, wrongful death actions, assault and battery cases, liquor liability cases, and negligent security cases. Every day there are thousands of innocent people who suffer bodily injuries that are unexpected and are caused by the fault of other individuals carelessness or recklessness.

In our society, which grows more complex and busier every day, personal injury law ensures that the products we use in blind faith are safe, that our workplaces are safe, that we receive proper health care, that the prescription drugs we take will not harm us, that we are safe when we enter into a building to shop or a hotel to stay, and that the drivers on our roads use due care. Unfortunately, when an individual is injured or loses a loved due to the negligence of another person or company, the only recompense or reparation to the injured is money damages. Invariably, it will be necessary to hire an attorney to insure that you receive fair compensation for your loss.
