A personal injury attorney is a lawyer who specializes in representing individuals who have been harmed or injured as a result of someone else's negligence or wrongful actions.
The personal injury attorney's responsibilities include:
Investigating the accident or incident to determine who is liable and to gather evidence to support the client's case
Communicating with insurance companies, defendants, and other parties involved in the case
Filing legal documents and representing the client in court or in settlement negotiations
Advising the client on their legal rights and options, and helping them to understand the legal process
Negotiating a settlement or taking the case to trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached
The goal of a personal injury attorney is to help the client receive fair compensation for their injuries, which may include medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
