WHAT IS ‘PERSONAL INJURY?’

Posted: January 15, 2014

Personal injury is a type of harm, which is generally divided into two categories: harm to property and harm to a person. Personal injury is the term used to mean harm to a person. It is any harm that is not harm to property. In our legal system, when one person unfairly causes another to suffer a loss, and that loss is to the individual’s body, mind or emotions, that individual has suffered a personal injury.

The William Mattar Legal Network

At William Mattar Law Offices, we believe our focus on motor vehicle accident injury cases provides our clients with a distinct advantage. However, when we began serving the legal needs of the community more than 30 years ago, our injury lawyers helped people with a wide range of legal matters. While our focus has changed over the years, our commitment to helping people has not—which is why we have the William Mattar Legal Network.

If you have a case that our firm cannot handle directly, our friendly legal staff will work to connect you with an injury lawyer or law firm in the William Mattar Legal Network that can properly handle your case. And to make sure you are protected, our firm will take joint responsibility on many types of legal matters.

Get Help With Your Personal Injury Claim

Our legal network is here to connect you with the help you need for a variety of case types, including:

  • Boat Injury Accident
    Whether your boat accident was the result of boat operator intoxication or failure to follow safety laws on the water, you shouldn’t have to pay for someone else’s negligence. A boat injury accident lawyer will fight hard to get compensation for your injuries and can work to have your medical bills paid.
  • Construction Injury Accident
    From unsafe scaffolding to motor vehicle accidents at jobsites, construction workers face injury risks every day. Falls from high or elevated work surfaces are a common cause of serious injuries. If you’ve been injured in a construction accident, we want to help you find professional legal help you can trust.
  • Dog Bite
    If a dog with a history of dangerous behavior attacked you or your child, you may be entitled to compensation for your physical, emotional, and financial damages. A dog bite injury attorney can investigate the facts of your case and help protect your best interests.
  • Nursing Home Abuse
    Nursing home residents have rights to dignity, safety, and privacy. If you suspect your loved one is the victim of nursing home abuse or neglect, we want to help you find an injury attorney who can help and work to end the abuse.
  • Slip and Fall Injury
    Wet tile floors, icy steps, and cracked sidewalks can all lead to painful slip and fall accidents. If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall accident, our legal team can connect you with a lawyer you can count on.
  • Social Security Disability
    The Social Security Administration denies more than half of all initial Social Security Disability claims. If you need help applying for benefits or you’ve been denied benefits, a knowledgeable Social Security Disability lawyer can help maximize your chances of getting the benefits you’re owed.
  • Veterans Benefits
    Don’t give up if the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs denied you the benefits you were promised. At William Mattar, we understand the sacrifices you’ve made for our country, and we can put you in touch with a veterans disability lawyer or advocate who will fight for the benefits you’re owed.
  • Workers’ Compensation
    Mistakes or omissions during the workers’ compensation claims process can cause your claim to be delayed or denied. We can help you find a trusted workers’ compensation attorney to assist with your claim.

“I was in my wheelchair, grocery shopping, and was looking at a two-burner gas grill when the display fell on me and lacerated my right thumb down to the bone, nicked the tendon, and severed my nerve. I had to have surgery to repair the damage and was in a cast for several weeks. I had to have my steering wheel adapted so I could drive to my appointments. I was a client of William Mattar when I had this accident. Everyone was friendly, professional, and willing to help. They would come to my house because I could not get to the office. Everything was explained without legal jargon so it was understandable. Any questions I had were answered. All my phone calls were promptly returned. I had a great experience and would recommend all my family and friends to William Matter. In fact, my son was severely injured recently and I referred him to William Mattar.”*

“I fell down the stairs at my friend’s house and broke my foot/sprained my ankle. I heard about William Mattar through the nursing staff at Kenmore Mercy Hospital while being evaluated for my injuries. The staff at the hospital asked me how many weeks I will be out of work and when I told them four weeks, they told me to dial (844) 444-4444. My attorney was awesome and did everything so amazing. The case went by very quickly and I did not expect to get a settlement, but I did. This makes me very happy.”*
