What Do Personal Injury Attorneys Do?
Personal injury attorneys deal with what falls under Tort Law. Personal Injury involves civil law cases where you are trying to obtain compensation for a personal injury you sustained to your person. Personal Injury attorneys help you with any type of litigation involving physical injuries to your person. Personal injury lawyers help you with cases that could arise from being involved in an automobile accident, a railroad accident, airline or other common carrier accident, a construction or other workplace accident, being injured as a result of a dangerous or otherwise unsafe product and other injury-causing situations. However, personal injuries don't even necessarily have to be physical—they could be psychological.

Personal Injury Attorneys categorize psychological personal injuries as those that are typically caused by psychological trauma associated with life-threatening and/or disfiguring physical injuries, or as a result of witnessing trauma in others, or following personal escape from serious injury following a traumatic event. Before you can collect an award, your personal injury lawyer will have to prove that the defendant is liable. To prove liability, the accident attorney must also establish negligence.

Personal Injury Attorneys advice personal injury victims that if there is any failure on their part to exercise reasonable care to prevent injury or damage then there may be comparative (or contributory) negligence, where they and the other party both are at some degree of fault. If the personal injury victim wins, he/she may receive money (an award) to compensate for medical costs, lost wages and lost future earnings as well as possibly for pain and suffering and punitive damages.

Spinal Cord Injuries:
Spinal cord injury (SCI) occurs when the nerves within the spinal canal are damaged. Most SCI's are caused by trauma to the vertebral column, affecting the spinal cord's ability to send and receive messages from the brain to the body's systems that control sensory, motor and autonomic function. Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of SCI, followed by acts of violence, falls, sports injuries including water sports and diseases such as polio, spina bifida, and Friedreich’s Ataxia. The spinal cord does not have to be severed in order for a loss of functioning to occur; even a fracture can cause nerve damage and loss of motor skills.

Brain Injury:
Many serious vehicle and recreational accidents can result in severe injuries to the brain which in the worst case can require life-long treatment and care.
