Accidents and Injury Law
While no one can go back and undo an injury, personal injury law provides a way for the injured to be "made whole" again. Relief for injuries usually comes in the form of monetary compensation, or "damages." But remedies may also include things other than money (such as a judge's order to take a particular action).

Main Areas of Accident & Injury Law
Injury law focuses on determining one or more parties' liability for the injuries of another. Injury (or "personal injury") law addresses everything from car accidents and injuries caused by slippery shop floors to dangerous consumer products and intentional acts. Lawsuits for injuries are often settled out of court, before the court reaches a verdict.
State Laws for Injuries & Accidents
Some injury and accident laws are not set at the federal level. This means knowing your specific state laws is important. For example, laws on product liability are decided almost exclusively at the state level. Find your state using the map or dropdown menu below to learn about your state's laws:
