PersonalInjury

A personal injury refers to a situation where someone has been physically or emotionally injured or killed by the wrongful act of another.

A personal injury claim is when the individual harmed wants to recover money from the person or company that wronged them as compensation for the harm. This claim may be for negligence, which simply means the injured person claims the wrongdoer was careless. Automobile accident cases are the classic example of negligence claims. Another example is a slip or trip and fall which is called premises liability.

In order to present your claim competently, a lawyer must have a good knowledge of the mechanics of injuries, the physiology of trauma, and the evaluation of damages and liability.
