Injury Basics Editorial Policy

Updated November 8, 2026

Where facts come from

Legal rules come from state codes, federal regulations and court sites. Local facts come from the city, county or state agency in charge. We do not use law-firm blogs as sources.

How we check them

We store the exact words of each source with its link and the date we read it. A script confirms those words appeared at the source. A fact that fails is not published. Every page shows its last-checked date and lists its sources.

How we write

We write for people who are hurt and stressed: plain words, the answer first, and no promised amounts. We do not rank lawyers.

Use of AI

We use AI tools to help research and draft. Every legal fact must still pass the source check before it can be published.

Advertisers do not decide

Law firms that pay to receive requests have no say over what we publish.

Corrections

Laws change and we can be wrong. If you see an error, tell us through the contact page and we will check it against the source and correct it.
