Personal injury and issues related to personal injury law occur when a person is injured or made ill. Often, the term personal injury is used in conjunction with vehicle accidents, but it can also apply to workplace injuries, medical malpractice, and injuries that occur on a person’s or a company’s private property. For instance, if you are bitten by a dog while speaking with a neighbor about an upcoming event in the neighborhood, you would speak to a Houston Texas personal injury Mediator about compensation for your injuries.
Personal injury cases can be settled in court or through mediation. Usually, parties involved in a personal injury case make an effort to mediate a settlement and if that does not work, they pursue litigation.
Personal injury is one of the most common issues faced in the legal system. People are injured in accidents all the time, and because the medical attention they need to help them recover can be expensive, they ask the responsible party to cover the cost of care. Parties accused of being responsible for the injured party’s claims also have defenses such as not being responsible, third party responsibility or contributory negligence of the plaintiff.
