What Is A Personal Injury?

Personal injury is the type of case allowing an injured plaintiff (victim) to get compensation when someone else’s negligence or intentional act caused that plaintiff harm. There are different kinds of personal injury, some are physical while others are not.

Personal injury may be a case of:

• Slip and Fall: These cases are very common, involving the plaintiff and property owners, where a property owner neglected to keep their property safe of all hazards.
• Medical Malpractice: These claims are the result of a doctor or health care professional failing to provide competent and reasonably skilled care, causing injury to a patient.
• Car Accident: This is the most common personal injury case. A negligent driver is held responsible for injury sustained by the victim.
• Defamation of Character: This is in the form of libel or slander, describing an injury to reputation due to untrue statements made about the victim.
• Assault and Battery or Intentional Harm: Harm to another person with ill intent, typically tied to a criminal case.
