Personal injury law is a specific area of legal practice and a broad term that means any kind of accident or occurrence resulting from the negligence or wrongdoing of others that leads to bodily injury. Personal injury law can involve many types of accidents including truck accidents, car accidents, motorcycle accidents, workplace injuries and accidents, wrongful death, and dog bites, to name a few.

A contingency fee is a payment to an attorney for legal representation and services that depends on money damages being recovered. It’s the popular “You don’t pay unless we win” model. When compensation from a case is awarded, the law firm collects a percentage as payment. If the case is lost, the client does not pay a fee.

Making a personal injury claim is the first step toward getting compensation for your losses. Most cases are settled out of court, which means that just because you file a claim, that doesn’t mean you’ll have to go to court. If you cannot agree on a settlement amount out of court, however, you do need to file a personal injury lawsuit against the defendant to take them to court. There will still be the chance to settle before your trial actually begins, but you need to be prepared to go to court whenever you file a lawsuit.
