Observers of the increasing numbers of people injured as a result of negligence or carelessness of others have long seen the link between medical and legal consequences of traumatic injury. The medical-legal interests of the patient/client are best served when the health care and legal communities work together.

The goal of this article is to make our colleagues in the health care community, clients and the public aware of a resource we have written entitled "Common Legal Terms in a Personal Injury Case."

We hope this new publication will provide an easy-to-use reference guide for health care providers, colleagues, clients and the public to better understand the civil justice process by providing a convenient and easy-to-use reference of commonly used legal terms in a personal injury case. If you are interested in receiving a copy of this booklet, please email Rachel Gaetano at info@adlergiersch.com or return the enclosed form to us. This publication is without cost to you or your patient.

Please feel free to call if we can be of assistance to you or your patient concerning a personal injury claim. We are here to help.
