Civil Law Claims
As legal professionals know, civil law covers many different practice areas that are covered by judges presiding over civic courtrooms. One of the most common kinds of civil cases are ones that stem from personal injury claims but there are many, many different kinds of personal injury cases that a lawyer may specialize in in one or more area of. The following are topics that visitors to this site have already expressed interest in:
General Personal Injury
If you have an interest in general personal injury, this section may be for you. When someone is injured or becomes unwell in the United States because of one or more parties’ negligence, recklessness or maliciousness, the victim may be entitled to compensation from the party that caused their injury. Personal injury law is similar in many states but each state has its own unique set of personal injury laws.
- Medical Malpractice If you have an interest in topics that stem from when a physician or
other healthcare provider’s negligence results in a patients harm, this is probably the
channel that you will spend the most time on. - Product Liability When an innocent consumer is injured because of a faulty or
malfunctioning product, and you are the person that wants to protect them, this is the
channel where you will most likely encounter other lawyers with similar interests. - Moving Vehicle Accident If you want to hold negligent vehicle operators accountable for
