A personal injury lawyer is a legal professional who provides representation to individuals who have been physically or psychologically injured as a result of negligence, wrongdoing, or misconduct by another person, company, government agency, or other entity. These lawyers specialize in an area of law known as tort law, which includes civil litigation for injuries and damages resulting from accidents, medical malpractice, workplace incidents, defective products, slip and falls, and more.
A personal injury lawyer’s primary role is to advocate for the injured party, helping them seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related losses.
