Personal Injury/Wrongful Death
Personal injury usually involves damages incurred by a victim, commonly referred to as the plaintiff, based on the actions of another person, commonly known as the defendant.
The law allows the plaintiff to pursue a claim for damages, thereby providing a remedy so that the plaintiff can be "made whole" by being compensated for his or her loss. An example of a personal injury case is premises liability, and one of the most common types of premises liability cases is the typical slip-and-fall accident.
