Personal Injury

Personal injury claims stem from various accidents, and come in many different forms. From class action claims against major corporations or product developers, by a group of injured plaintiffs, to smaller cases, involving a single plaintiff and defendant.  The National Law Review covers personal injury cases of all sizes, analyzing the legal implications of litigation alleging misconduct and other instances of personal injury law.

Hit and run accidents, tort actions brought against employers, workers’ compensation claims, motor vehicle accidents, and product malfunctions, are some of the many personal injury claims covered by the National Law Review. Visitors can read about defenses, legal actions, remedies, injunctions against companies/people, and specific performance ordered by courts, based on different causes of action brought by plaintiffs in personal injury lawsuits.

The National Law Review features developments, stories, news, and the latest litigation in prominent cases around the US.  Product malfunctions causing injuries, nursing home abuse cases, traumatic brain injuries, medical malpractice lawsuits, construction accidents, workplace accidents, and class action lawsuits, brought against multi-million and multi-billion dollar companies, are all covered on the site. Attorneys who have experience in taking on large corporations and the legal issues related to personal injury cases analyze relevant litigation across a variety of jurisdictions.

Additionally, more traditional personal injury cases like car accidents, slip and fall claims, product malfunction, catastrophic injuries, wrongful death claims, abuse and nursing home neglect cases, birth injuries, employer, agency or government misconduct, surgical/class action claims, and general medical malpractice claims, are also covered by the National Law Review. The National Law Review works with legal experts in this field to provide the most competent and detailed legal analysis available.
