What is a personal injury lawyer?

People often wonder, "what exactly is a personal injury lawyer?" A personal injury lawyer is one who accepts cases wherein a claimant or "plaintiff" is a victim of an injury. The injury is alleged to have been caused by the fault of another and through no fault of the victim. A personal injury lawyer will either work with the opposing party or their insurance company to achieve a resolution of a personal injury claim by settlement.

However, if settlement is not possible, a personal injury lawyer will take the personal injury claim to trial in front of a jury. A personal injury lawyer may accept the following types of personal injury cases: auto accidents; trucking accidents; bicycle accidents; motorcycle accidents; boating accidents; product liability claims; medical malpractice claims; slip and fall cases; falling merchandise cases; food poisoning cases; and many others.
