Personal Injury Lawyers

Usually a Personal Injury Lawyer is contacted when you have been injured or harmed by the negligence of someone else. The term Personal Injury corresponds to the branch of tort law which covers the damage (physical or not (person, property, reputation or even rights)) that a person has had. This, most of the time, happens at work when using machines, or after a car accident due to traffic or to a faulty repair of your car/machine.

What is important when you talk about personal injury is that the event must occur due to the negligence of someone. This negligence could come from your employer, the manufacturer of one of your products, a medical employee etc.. An example of a personal injury law case can be because of the negligence of a doctor during the birth of child which has caused physical damage to the child.

If you think someone has been doing their job with negligence and that it has caused you damage (physical or phsycological) or to a member of your familly, you should contact a personal injury attorney who can give you advice on various ways and legal options to protect your rights and claim justice in compensation for the injuries you have had. He will also help you by informing you of deadlines for reporting such injuries and will have enough experience to defend you proparly during a court case so that you can have a compensation for the injuries you have.

DUI Lawyers

If you are reading this article, then you surely know what DUI stands for. DUI stands for "Driving Under the Influence". Basically we talk about DUI when we deal with people who have been driving under influence of alcohol or any substance considered as drugs. DUI can be considered as a serious infraction which can have dramatic consequences for the driver, but also for the victims and population. In the US, it is said that each year half a million people are injured because of DUI accidents. Auto accidents are therefore quite frequent and therefore the amount of DUI lawyers, also called auto accident lawyers, has increased substantially in the last few years.

A DUI lawyer will be employed either by the driver to defend him, or by the victims of the auto accident.
