Personal Injury

A tort is a wrongful action which injures another and is the result of either negligence or an intentional act. Torts are often referred to as personal injuries. A person injured by someone's tort is entitled to receive compensation for the damages and injuries they sustain. These damages include pain and suffering, loss of companionship, and lost wages.

Karp & Weiss has represented clients in virtually every area of tort law, including personal injury cases, toxic torts, environmental matters, employment torts, civil rights violations, legal and medical malpractice, property damage, and domestic torts.

One example of our work in this area:
A young child was severely injured in an accident with only $15,000 in insurance coverage. Because the insurance company was not responsive, Karp & Weiss was able to get a settlement far beyond the policy limits to cover medical expenses and provide an acceptable quality of life for the child.
