Roger R. Foisy Law: Proven Success In Securing Your Justice

Personal injury law is part of the Law of Torts. A tort is a wrongful act recognized by the law as a basis to commence a lawsuit. These wrongs or torts result in injury or harm which constitutes the basis for a claim by the injured party. A personal injury claim can be commenced by an individual for either physical, mental, or property damages. Types of damages an injured party may recover include pain and suffering, loss of earnings, medical expenses, housekeeping and home maintenance, and medical expenses.

Whether or not you have been injured as a result of a car accident, slip and fall, dog bite or other personal injury, you may be entitled to collect substantial financial compensation for your injuries. You should consult a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible not only because the law provides that you have a specific time within which to bring forth your case (statutes of limitations) but also because the sooner you retain a personal injury lawyer, the sooner your claim can be investigated. A lawyer will gather vital information, have witnesses interviewed and obtain statements while your injury is still fresh in everyone’s mind.

The severity of your injury and its impact on your life can help you determine whether or not it makes sense to begin a lawsuit after an accident. You may want to seek compensation through small claims court, or hire a paralegal instead.
