An Overview of Personal Injury Law, Real Estate Law, and Business Law

Laws vary from country to country, and within the United States, they vary from region to region. Laws and the legal system are for our own safety, providing us with guidelines for an orderly and functioning society. In this article, we will discuss three important laws: personal injury law, real estate law, and business law.

What is Personal Injury Law?

In personal injury law, an injured person can take a case to the civil court to fight for compensation for the loss they have suffered from another party’s intentional or unintentional conduct. 

Accidents

Personal injury law concerns legal issues in an accident. It involves proven carelessness such as medical malpractice, slip and fall, vehicle collisions, and many other categories. 

Defective Products

When a defective product is a reason for personal injury, one may sue for compensation for the damages caused by the negligence of the distributor or manufacturer.

Defamation

Personal injury law applies to defamation, where one has been harmed by the other party publicly stating false or negative claims, causing damage to one’s reputation and thereby their ability to work.

Intention

In addition to negligence, personal injury law also applies in case of intentional acts, such as theft and assault.

What is Real Estate Law?

Real estate law is concerned with all areas of legality pertaining to the purchase and sale of a property.

The sale and the purchase of property involve many legal facets, whether the real estate is residential or commercial: rental, property transfer, documentation, ownership, zoning, and environmental laws.

Practice areas for the real estate lawyers including estate planning, insurance law, accidents and injuries, tax law, and landlord-tenant law.
