To clarify, personal injury law is a legal dispute which derives from accidents which happen where someone else might be responsible whether it is a company or individual. This can include car accidents, dog bites, tripping over rakes left carelessly in a yard or any other accident where someone else may have been careless or may be at fault.
Personal injury cases can be formalized through civil court or some cases never reach the judicial level and are settled out of court. Those types of settlements are called, “Informal Settlements,” and they happen between attorneys, insurance companies and private parties.
In addition, there are also two other alternatives you can try and those are mediation and arbitration which involve a third party not included in the case and that third party then makes the final decision on the case. If the parties are not happy with the results, they have the option of going to trial.
As with any law issues, statutes vary by state so going online and researching the laws in your particular state is of benefit. You can also visit sites like hw-lawfirm.com that can help match you with a lawyer suited to your situation.
