According to IBIS World, the market size of the personal injury attorney industry has grown by 4.8% from 2018 to 2023. This shows that the world increasingly requires lawyers. There is an increasing demand for lawyers in general and personal injury law firms. What is driving it? Let's discuss a few factors.

Access to Vehicles

As society generally requires travel to earn a living, meet with friends and family, and visit places like the grocery store, access to vehicles is needed. With more cars on the road now than in years past, that translates into more motor accidents. Unfortunately, the damage can be more than just to the vehicle itself. Passengers who are injured will need some sort of compensation to pay for medical bills and potential time away from work. That's when personal injury law firms come into play. Your auto insurance company may attempt to underpay on your claim, and your legal representation will fight to get what you deserve.

Legal Awareness

More people than ever are aware of their rights to legal representation in the case of a workplace or other personal injury. Personal injury law firms are here to help you know your rights and hold powerful companies accountable for violating them. With more awareness of people's rights and the process of accessing them, more people are demanding the services of personal injury lawyers than ever before.

Corporate Negligence

One of the difficulties of modern life is that business-friendly government environments tend to make it more difficult to access your rights when businesses' interests go against them. This is when corporate negligence becomes a major factor. Personal injury lawyers fight every day against negligent companies so their clients get the compensation they deserve for their injuries. It's easy to see why personal injury claims are on the rise when it becomes harder to get justice for those claims without a skilled lawyer on your side.
