Tort law governs personal injury where one was injured by another’s negligence.

What should you expect from a Personal Injury Attorney?

A Personal Injury lawyer must have some knowledge of back and neck injuries as a personal injury lawyer is constantly confronted by medical legal problems. Medic legal is something that involves both medicine and legal aspects of a case. As neck and bank injuries are by far the most common injuries, a personal injury lawyer must have knowledge of injuries to the neck and back.
A personal injury attorney must conduct a one on one detailed interview where s (he) can inquire about the accident and extend of the damages. If there are police reports, she shall review the police reports or any witness statements related to your case.

A personal Injury attorney shall visit the scene of the incident in order to have a better understanding of the accident.

If your injuries are not extensive and you are not in a need of medical care, you should take photos of the accident scene, gather witness information as well as the contact information of the responsible party.
