Do I need a Personal Injury Lawyer?
If you or a loved one has been hurt as a result of a motor vehicle accident, the negligence of a property owner, or the fault of a medical professional, you may find yourself confused, scared and unsure of the next steps you need to take. Your unique and difficult circumstances may lead you to consider whether you need to hire a lawyer to represent you. Regardless of how you have been injured, you need the help of an experienced personal injury lawyer.
Personal Injury Law.
Personal injury claims are part of our tort law, the area of law that’s concerned with harm done and losses suffered due to the negligent or intentional conduct of another person or entity. There are many distinct areas of expertise within personal injury law. At Gluckstein Lawyers, we devote all of our professional time and practice to the following areas:

What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?
A personal injury lawyer provides legal services to victims who suffer injury as a result of someone else’s negligent, intentional, or reckless conduct. These services can include representing you and your interests in settlement negotiations with the at-fault party’s insurance company, ensuring that your insurance company continues to provide you with disability benefits for as long as you are entitled to receive them, and, if necessary, representing you in court or other proceedings.
