What Is Plaintiff Law?

Atlanta, Georgia

A plaintiff is one of two parties in a tort lawsuit. A person files a tort lawsuit when he or she has been hurt or wronged. That person is the plaintiff. The person accused of causing the tort is the defendant. Plaintiff law is the area of law dedicated to getting compensation for those who have been injured as a result of the negligence or misconduct of others, and it covers essentially all types of injuries. Because of its focus on injury, the largest part of plaintiff law is personal injury law.

If you have been injured, the Georgia plaintiffs' lawyers at Robbins & Associates, P.C., PC can help you make your case against those that hurt you. Our lawyers will listen to the details of your case and devise the appropriate strategy to help you receive the compensation you deserve.

Personal Injury and Plaintiff Law

Since a plaintiff is someone seeking compensation for an injury, it makes sense that most plaintiff law cases will be personal injury cases. Personal injury lawyers represent an individual who has been hurt against one or more individuals responsible for that hurt.

Examples of cases that fall under the category of personal injury law include:

In each of these cases, the plaintiff's lawyer represents the injured person against those responsible for the injury.

Why File a Lawsuit over Your Injury

If you have suffered an injury, you may be reluctant to file a lawsuit. You're not looking for a handout, you're not greedy, and you may even distrust lawyers, but you should not let this prevent you from filing a lawsuit. Personal injury lawsuits are not about getting rich, they are about making you whole, restoring life to the way it was before your injury, to the greatest extent possible. The money you receive from your lawsuit can be crucial to helping your family get through a very tough financial time.

There is another important reason to file a personal injury lawsuit. These cases serve to hold negligent individuals and corporations responsible for their actions. Hopefully, by holding the negligent party accountable, you can help prevent other people from suffering similar injuries in the future.
