Personal injury includes injuries to the body, mind or emotions, as opposed to an injury to property. If the negligence of another person can be proved, the person who is injured may be entitled to monetary compensation from that person who was negligent. Attorneys often represent clients on a contingency basis, in which the attorneys fee is a percentage of the compensation the plaintiff receives, payable when the case is resolved. Cases involving people who have suffered an injury for which someone else (an individual or business) may be legally liable -- may include injuries caused by car accidents, medical malpractice, dog bites, slip and fall incidents, and emotional distress.
Arcola is an unincorporated town in Lake Township, Allen County, Indiana. Once a booming train station for farm products and a regional U.S. postal center in the late 1800s and early 1900s, the town in more recent years has become a bedroom community of Fort Wayne.
