What are the Most Common Personal Injury Cases?

Personal injury cases are legal cases that result because of someone else’s negligence. Personal injury, also called tort law, is a way to obtain compensation for injuries and damages in a civil lawsuit. To succeed in a civil personal injury claim, a person must be able to prove that the other party is liable for the injuries. In cases where you can prove negligence, you may be able to seek compensation for the costs associated with your physical and psychological injuries. If you were hurt in an accident that was not your fault, you may be entitled to damages.
