What is personal injury?

A personal injury is any type of injury or illness, either psychological or physical, that an individual sustains as a result of an accident. Personal injuries do not include damage done to one’s property; the harm must have been delivered directly to the victim’s body or mind. In general, the term “personal injury” is often applied to tort cases involving another person’s negligence, carelessness, professional malpractice, or recklessness. Examples of personal injury cases include car accidents, assault, premises liability accidents, and product liability accidents that result in injury.
