Tennessee Injury Lawyer BlogPersonal injury law, or tort law, allows you to sue for money when someone injures you. The person against whom the lawsuit is filed, known as the defendant, can negligently or intentionally cause your injury. This claim can arise from any type of personal injury cases such as:
Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice occurs when a medical professional fails to provide you with proper medical care, resulting in injury. For example, the doctor could potentially misdiagnose the pain in your chest as heartburn. Later, you have a heart attack. You could sue the doctor to recover money for your personal injury.
Car Accidents
Car accidents usually happen when a driver isn’t following the rules of the road or driving carefully. The careless driver is usually responsible for any financial loss you suffered because of the accident. Your injury may include damaged vehicles, medical bills and lost wages.
