About the Author: Kaia Thornton
For over a decade, I have navigated the intricate intersection of personal injury law and insurance claims, witnessing firsthand how critical a well-understood legal process is to achieving justice. My career as a litigation attorney has been dedicated to representing individuals in personal injury cases, from motor vehicle accidents to premises liability and workplace injuries, giving me a deep, practical understanding of the tactics used by insurance companies. This experience directly informs my writing on topics like negotiating settlements, understanding liability, and the step-by-step litigation process. I hold a Juris Doctor and am licensed to practice in multiple states, credentials that allow me to dissect complex legal rulings and statutory changes with authority. My goal is to demystify the law for readers, translating legalese into clear guidance on navigating medical malpractice suits, product liability claims, and the crucial calculation of damages. Ultimately, I write to empower those facing the legal system, ensuring they have the knowledge to protect their rights and make informed decisions during profoundly challenging times.
