A personal injury lawyer is a lawyer who can provide legal representation to those who claim to have been injured, physically or psychologically, as a result of the negligence or wrong-doing of another company, person, government agency, or other entity.
Thus, personal injury Attorneys tend to be especially knowledgeable and have higher experience with regard to the area of law known as tort law, which includes civil wrongs and economic or non-economic damages to a business, person’s property, reputation, or rights.
Even though personal injury Attorneys are trained and licensed to practice virtually any field of law, they generally only handle cases that fall under tort law including, but not limited to: automobile accidents, work injuries, motorcycle and other accidents, defective products, slip and fall accidents, medical mistakes, and more.
The expression “Trial Lawyers” or “Trial Solicitors”can refer to personal injury Attorneys,even though most cases handled by personal injury Attorneys settle rather than going to trial and other types of lawyers, such as defendants’ lawyers and criminal prosecutors, also appear in trials.
