Many people have had experiences in which an attorney has given them advice on matters that ranged from tax advice to business matters and even a filing for divorce. Yet many of these people, along with a large cross-section of our society in general, do not understand how an accident and injury lawyer fills a vital role in our legal system. On this page the accident and injury lawyer at the Doan Law Firm Miami will explain some of the basic concepts of personal injury law and how these concepts apply in many everyday situations.

What Is Personal Injury Law?

Personal injury law is primarily concerned with assuring that people have their legal rights to compensation (payment) for their injuries and property damage protected, either in court or when dealing with more powerful groups such as insurance companies, large corporations, or even their local and national governments. The way people access this protection is through a personal injury lawyer.

Sometimes known as an accident and injury lawyer or attorney, a personal injury lawyer helps those who have been injured recover damages. Damages are the costs that arise from medical care, lost earnings, repair or replacement of personal property, and many other costs that can arise after someone has been injured in an accident.

Personal injury lawyers, like their clients, are only interested in justice for someone who has been injured. These lawyers will first gather all the available facts related to the client’s injury and reconstruct how the accident happened and establish who was at fault. Once this has been completed, the attorney will attempt to negotiate an agreement with those responsible for the damages to his client. Should this fail it may be necessary for the lawyer, with the approval of the client, to file a lawsuit to force the responsible party to pay those damages.

What Types Of Cases Does An Accident And Injury Lawyer Represent For His Clients?

Personal injury lawyers will tell you that there are no “typical” injury cases because each case is always unique in both its facts and in the injuries his client may have suffered.
