What is personal injury law?

Personal injury law is a set of legal principles and rules that govern legal liability for injuries caused by another person’s conduct. Ohio statutes and court decisions establish the rules that apply to individuals and families seeking to recover compensation for harm suffered in an auto accident, on another person’s property, during medical diagnosis and treatment (medical malpractice), and in many other situations. Personal injury attorneys interpret the laws and apply them to the facts of a specific case to help clients recover the compensation provided by the legal system. At Caravona & Berg, our practice focuses on personal injury claims.
