Injury law, also known as personal injury law, is a legal practice area that focuses on representing individuals who have been injured due to the negligence or wrongdoing of another person or entity. This can include accidents caused by motor vehicle collisions, slip and falls, medical malpractice, defective products, workplace injuries, and other situations where someone else's actions or inactions led to harm. The goal of injury law is to hold the responsible parties accountable for their actions and to obtain compensation for the injured person to help cover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. Injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win the case or settle out of court.
