Everyone Should Learn a Little about Law

While lawyers and judges are the ultimate legal experts, of course, I believe that every citizen should take the time to learn a little about law for several reasons. First, it is important to know your rights, and knowing them can come in handy if anyone ever accuses you of a crime you didn't commit or threatens you legally in another other way. Second, learning about your local, state, and federal laws can help you act as a better citizen. When election time comes around, you can then truly understand ever change in law being proposed by a candidate and whether it benefits society or not. I plan to share posts about law topics explained in plain English on my new blog, so you can come back often to sharpen your legal knowledge!

  • Personal Injury Compensation And Establishing Fault

    21 August 2019

    Personal injuries that are caused because of the negligence or willful behavior of another person are compensated by figuring out your losses. You must be able to prove your injuries and describe in detail what you have lost because of the injuries.
