Personal injury is the bodily harm caused to a person because of someone or something. Personal injury includes: slip and fall injuries, nursing home abuse, car accidents, defective product injury, exposure to toxic materials, medical malpractices, wrongful death (due to negligence), drug injury, dog bite or job injuries. Personal injury law deals with protecting of those individual's interests who have been victims of recklessness, negligence, inaction or malpractices of others.

A person can claim damages for personal injury from the person/persons who have actually caused the injury or from the insurance company. A personal injury claim must address two main issues: liability (the person charged is truly and legally responsible for the damage) and damages (the damages claimed truly reflect the exact extent of the injury or loss suffered). The claim must be based on any of the three grounds: negligence, strict liability and intentional wrong.
