Personal Injury Law Personal Injury is an extremely complex category under the law. A personal injury may be deemed emotional, however, the majority of those reported are physical in nature. Both kinds may range from mild to severe. The causes of this kind of injury may be attributed to a wide range of sources or occurrences including:
Asbestos exposure,
Auto accidents,
Construction accidents,
Slip and fall accidents,
Dangerous drugs,
Defective products,
and medical malpractice.
The law provides provisions for those who sustain personal injuries as a result of malpractice, accidents, or even exposure to toxic materials to be compensated by those who are at fault for damages incurred.
Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that has, over the past few years, become the basis for many personal injury legal cases. Individuals develop the disease after being exposed to the highly toxic mineral asbestos. Asbestos fiber inhalation was stated to be common for people working certain positions during the decades before legislation prohibited asbestos use. Because individuals typically do not show symptoms of mesothelioma until decades after long-term asbestos exposure, many affected individuals are only recently being diagnosed with the disease. The advent of 9/11 has also brought the issue of asbestos and other kinds of toxic exposure heavily into the legal spotlight.
