A personal injury attorney is a lawyer who provides legal representation to individuals who have been injured, physically or psychologically, as a result of someone else's negligence. These attorneys specialize in tort law and help clients navigate the complex legal process of seeking compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. They investigate claims, gather evidence, negotiate with insurance companies, and, if necessary, litigate cases in court to ensure their clients receive fair and just settlements. Their goal is to advocate for the injured party and hold the responsible party accountable for their actions.
