Personal injury law involves legal proceedings to seek compensation for injuries suffered by an individual due to the negligence of another person or entity.

Personal injury cases can include car accidents, slip-and-fall accidents, medical malpractice, dog bites, product liability, and more.

You may be able to recover damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and more depending on the specific case.

Seek medical attention immediately and then contact a personal injury attorney to discuss your legal options.

Most personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, which means they only get paid if you win your case. The fee is typically a percentage of your compensation award.

The statute of limitations varies by state, but generally, you have two to three years from the date of the injury to file a claim.
