Medical malpractice is a large area of personal injury law that pertains specifically to when a doctor, other healthcare provider, or a hospital’s negligence results in injury or illness for a patient. Medical malpractice claims typically involve a victim, or in some cases, the victim’s family, seeking compensation for expenses related to the injury or illness that was caused by the malpractice.

Premise liability is a legal concept that typically comes into play in personal injury cases. When an injury is caused by an unsafe or defective condition on property because of the property owner’s, or in some cases, a tenant renter’s or property manager’s, negligence, they may be liable for expenses related to the victim’s injury.

Consumers in the United States are supposed to be protected from dangerous and faulty products. When a dangerous or defective product injures someone who has used it in accordance with its instructions and has adhered to its safety warnings, one or more party that made the product available to consumers may be liable for the victim’s injuries.

Tax law covers the laws, policies and rules that oversee the tax process. This process involves charges on estates, income, licenses, property, transactions, and more by the government. Not everyone needs a tax lawyer but for people with more complicated financial situations, they are often necessary.

When someone is injured while at work or becomes ill because of conditions at work, and in some cases, when someone gets injured on their way to work or while working off site, their employer may be liable for expenses related to their injury. A worker does not need to be injured while actually doing their job because if they are on the clock when the injury occured it may be considered work related. An example of this is an administrative assistant is on their way to the restroom and a heavy box that was precariously placed by a coworker, falls and injures them. This will likely be the company’s responsibility even though they may try to blame the co-worker.
