Personal injury refers to any physical or mental harm caused to a person as a result of the negligent or intentional actions of another party. This can include a wide range of accidents and incidents, such as car accidents, slip and falls, medical malpractice, and product defects. Injuries can vary in severity and may result in pain and suffering, medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.

• Insurance disputes

Insurance disputes are legal conflicts that arise between policyholders and insurance companies regarding the terms and coverage of an insurance policy. Such disputes can arise due to a variety of reasons, such as disagreements over policy interpretation, coverage disputes, claim denials, or bad faith practices by the insurer. Insurance disputes can be complex and often require legal representation to resolve. Depending on the nature of the dispute, a policyholder may need to pursue alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation or arbitration, or they may need to take their case to court. In any case, insurance disputes can be a stressful and challenging experience for policyholders, making it important to have experienced legal counsel on their side.

Corporate law is a legal field that pertains to the formation, operation, and dissolution of corporations.
