A personal injury is a sad and often tragic event where someone is injured due to the negligence or intentional act of another person or entity. When this happens, the entire family can be thrown into an uproar worrying about their injured family member and how they will face the financial debt that comes along with it. In California, when a personal injury occurs, the injured person may claim financial damages to pay for those outlying costs. Although it does not ease the pain and suffering the injured person endures, it can help by punishing the at-fault party and covering the financial loss. A lawyer who exclusively handles personal injuries is experienced in handling these types of cases.
