What is a personal injury lawyer?
Personal injury law lets people who are hurt by someone else's negligence — in car accidents, slip-and-falls, and similar incidents — recover compensation for their losses. A personal injury lawyer investigates your claim, deals with the insurance companies, and pursues payment for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering, usually for a contingency fee (you pay only if you win).
