Personal Injury
Personal injury is an umbrella term used to describe claims that arise when a person is injured by the careless or negligent acts of another, or injured by a product that is defective or dangerous.
When a wrongdoer is determined to be legally responsible for injuring someone else, they may be made to compensate the injured person for the harm they caused. Compensatory damages attempt to put an injured person back in the position he or she was in before being injured.
