Personal Injury
Personal Injury
Personal Injury is a type of tort law.
A personal injury is a legal term that means a person has experienced bodily harm, damage, or disablement due to negligence or fault by another person or entity. It includes not only the person’s body but also his/her mind or emotions.
When personal injury is involved, a lawsuit may be filed against the party at fault and be able to collect money for any damages incurred and the consequential pain and suffering experienced as a result of the injury.
Types of Personal Injury
Auto/Car Accident or Injury
An auto/car accident is the most common type of injury. It is also called “car collision,” “traffic collision,” a “car crash,” or “motor vehicle accident.”
This type of accident can happen between two vehicles colliding with each other. It could also be a vehicle bumping onto a stationary object or place or hitting or running over a pedestrian or animal.
Accidents often result in property damages, and in some cases, it results in severe bodily injuries and even death.
Slip and Fall
Slip and fall, or trip and fall, is a type of personal injury where one slips, slides, trips, and falls in a particular place, site, or property and gets hurt or harmed. This is a premise liability issue. When accidents like a slip and fall happen in a commercial place like a mall, or a restaurant, its management or owners are liable for those injured and must be compensated accordingly.
