Personal Injury doesn’t just refer to the bodily harm caused by another human being; Personal Injury cases may also involve emotional or mental damage. Personal Injury lawsuits are filed against a person or entity that caused harm to you through negligence, gross negligence, reckless conduct or behavior, or intentional misconduct.

Hogan Injury’s Personal Injury section’s goal is to provide you with useful information that will help you identify if you are entitled to file a Personal Injury lawsuit. The questions and answers in this section will also provide you with information regarding the compensation you will get if you win a Personal Injury lawsuit, the basis for filing a lawsuit, and even the cost of filing a Personal Injury lawsuit.

One of the most critical components of filing and winning a Personal Injury lawsuit is proving that there was negligence, gross negligence, reckless conduct or behavior, or intentional misconduct on the part of the offending party. Hogan Injury specializes in Personal Injury lawsuits and will be able to provide you with expert legal advice and representation to make sure that you are compensated for the injuries and damages that you are entitled to after suffering from harm caused by others.
