If you have been the victim of a car accident, a slip-and-fall, or other type of injury that was not your fault, you deserve to be paid for your injury. But when you are going after your money, be careful that you do not become a victim again. You need to know how the legal system works, what your rights are, and what you need to do to win your case. This new edition includes information on car accidents, injuries to children, slip-and-falls, dog bites, legal malpractice, food poisoning, workers' comp, social security disability, products liability, intentional injuries, and psychological injuries. A thorough glossary and appendices of sample legal forms, sample letters, plus worksheets and checklists make this new edition a useful tool for anyone who has an opinion regarding personal injury litigation.
