The statistics are chilling–every hour, there are believed to be over 11,000 personal injury accidents in the United States. And the danger might not be as far from home as you think. From unsafe foods and untested products to car and truck accidents, burns, assaults, dog bites and even poisoning–risk abounds–and so does personal injury. Defined as an injury to the body or mind, a personal |
| injury can be caused on purpose (in the case of an assault) or occur due to a third party’s negligence (failure to provide safe circumstances, as in the case of an employer with unsafe work conditions or a property owner who fails to secure their property). |

Most people think of a family law case as a divorce case. Divorce, also known as dissolution of marriage, is a legal proceeding brought by either spouse to terminate the marriage. Along with the termination of the marriage, other issues are decided such as division of property, determination of the appropriate amount of spousal and/or child support, if any, and child custody and |
| visitation. However, family law is not limited to divorce cases. Also included under the general heading of family law are paternity cases, cases defending or enforcing child support provisions, domestic partnerships, as well as adoption cases. |
