Accident and injury law encompasses medical malpractice, automobile accidents, slip and fall injuries, product liability, workers’ compensation, even dog bites. State courts handle these sorts of claims, each a little differently. Pennsylvania courts, for example, allow plaintiffs in injury suits to collect damages even if they are partially at fault. Also, the state has a two-year statute of limitations (time limit) to bring a personal injury suit. Injury law is a dynamic practice area that changes with the changing tide of public opinion.
