Asbestos, a once ubiquitous material in the manufacturing and construction industry, is a fibrous mineral that poses severe health risks when its microscopic fibers are inhaled or ingested.

This FAQ provides a general overview of personal injury claims and addresses common questions that individuals may have when considering filing a personal injury claim.
A personal injury claim is a legal case filed by an individual who has been injured due to the negligence or intentional actions of another party. These claims seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages resulting from the injury.
Personal injury lawyers handle a wide range of cases, including car accidents, slip and falls, medical malpractice, workplace injuries, product liability, and wrongful death claims.
If you have been injured as a result of someone else's negligence or misconduct, you may have a valid personal injury claim. It's best to consult with a personal injury lawyer who can evaluate the specifics of your case and advise you on your legal options.
If you've been injured in an accident, it's important to seek medical attention immediately. You should also document the scene of the accident, gather contact information from any witnesses, and avoid speaking with insurance adjusters without consulting a lawyer.
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, which means they only get paid if you receive compensation for your case. There is no fee unless you win at Riz Injury Law, and we offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case.
The statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim varies depending on the state and the type of case. In general, you should file your claim as soon as possible after the accident to ensure you meet the deadlines set by the law.
Compensation in a personal injury case may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and punitive damages in cases of egregious misconduct.
Not necessarily. Many personal injury claims are settled out of court through negotiations between your lawyer and the insurance company or the at-fault party. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, your case may proceed to trial.
The time it takes to resolve a personal injury case depends on various factors, including the complexity of the case, the extent of your injuries, and whether the case goes to trial. Some cases may be resolved in a matter of months, while others can take years to reach a resolution.
A personal injury lawyer can navigate the legal process on your behalf, gather evidence to support your claim, negotiate with insurance companies, and ensure that you receive fair compensation for your injuries. They can also provide guidance and support throughout the entire process, allowing you to focus on your recovery.
