Personal injury law is the area of law that deals with the ramifications of personal injuries. These can be caused by automobile accidents, child injuries, disability claims, dog bites and animal attacks, head, neck and back injuries, malpractice, and slips and falls, among others. Personal injury law refers to recovering compensation following the violation of tort law.
At a personal injury law firm, service for injury victims and their families is typically provided by a personal injury team comprised of a lawyer (sometimes called an attorney or barrister), an accident benefits consultant or paralegal, and, at firms like The Morris Law Group, a licensed healthcare professional.
