What Can a Tampa Personal Injury Attorney Do for You?

“Personal injury attorney” and “personal injury lawyer” are terms you hear a lot in the media. While “personal injury” is a somewhat self-explanatory phrase, there are legal details within this term.

For example, Clark and Martino, P.A., is a group of Tampa, Florida personal injury attorneys. We handle tort law. Tort laws come into play when a person is injured and another person is legally responsible for the injury. The injury may be intentional. In most cases, however, the injury was not done on purpose, and instead was caused by negligence or carelessness.

Personal injury is not limited to physical injury on your body. Personal injury and the services of a personal injury attorney may include:

  • Bodily injury
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property damage
  • Economic injury

Each of these topics can be broken down into more specific injuries. For instance, bodily injury may be a traumatic brain injury or emotional anguish. Economic injury could include loss of pay because the injured person missed work for a few weeks, or more serious monetary problems like expensive medical bills and losing the ability to work because of a permanent disability.

Once the extent of the injury is thoroughly examined and understood, a personal injury lawyer strives to determine: (1) who is responsible for the injury, and (2) how much money the responsible party (or parties) should pay to the injured person.
