What Is Personal Injury Law?<\/h2>\n

Personal injury law is an area of law in which individuals who have been injured or have lost a loved one due to an accident that was caused by the reckless or careless actions of another person can seek compensation from the responsible party. Personal injury lawsuits can either be settled through a compensatory agreement between the claimant and the at-fault party’s insurance provider or through a legal trial in which the court determines if the claimant has proven the defendant’s liability and awards damages accordingly. The term damage in the personal injury arena means a payment made in compensation for harm done.<\/p>\n
