Personal Injury
When someone is injured in an accident for which another party is liable, he or she is entitled to seek financial restitution. A personal injury claim involves an injured individual seeking compensation and damages from the person, company, or government institution believed to be fault. Personal injury claims may be brought on three different legal grounds: negligence, intentional wrong, or strict liability.

Wrongful Death
Wrongful death lawsuits are brought by the family of a person who has died due to the deliberate, reckless, or negligent actions of another. The goal of this type of personal injury claim is to gain compensation for close relatives, in order to help defray medical costs and provide financial support. A wrongful death lawsuit may also seek damages for pain and suffering, lost wages, mental anguish, and loss of companionship or support for the surviving relatives. A wrongful death lawyer may attempt to ensure that the family's emotional suffering is not augmented with unnecessary financial stress.
