Personal injury lawsuits are case actions which may be initiated when one or more parties suffer from injuries that are brought about by accidents which, in turn, are caused by the negligence, fault, act, or omission of another party or parties. Personal injury lawsuits involve any of, but are not limited to, the following:
    •Intentional Injuries (Sexual Abuse, Police Brutality), Motor Vehicle Accidents (Car, Truck, Vans, Motorcycle)
    •Recreational Vehicle Accidents (ATVs, Boating)Specific Injuries (Brain Injury, Burn, Dog Bite, Slip and Fall, Spinal Injury)
    •Public Transportation Accidents (Railroad Accident, Bus Accident, Plane Crash)
    •Products Liability (Defective Drugs, Tire Failure, Brake Failure, Air Bag Injuries)
    •Work Injuries (Workers' Compensation, Machinery/Assembly Line Injuries)
    •Hazardous Exposure (Pollution, Chemical Exposure, Mold, Lead Poisoning)
Personal injury lawsuits are subject to the statute of limitations. This means that the filing of personal injury lawsuits has to be done within a certain timeframe. Filing beyond this said timeframe would constitute a bar for prosecution. Hence, it is important that those who believe themselves to have been aggrieved by another party due to the latter’s faulty or negligent act or omission, must initiate action at the soonest possible time.

If you or someone you know has suffered a personal injury due to another’s wrong or negligence, remember that compensation and restitution may be had. Let a personal injury lawyer help you in protecting and defending your rights.
