What Is Personal Injury Law?

Personal injury law is a section of civil law that addresses harm or injuries inflicted on individuals. The law includes a principle known as “duty of reasonable care,” which is the idea that all people and entities are responsible for the harm their actions or inaction causes. Personal injury is what gives people the right to hold companies, organizations, and each other accountable for injury, medical costs, and emotional trauma in a variety of different situations.

Any type of physical or mental injury can be brought before a court of law as long as your attorney can provide proof of three things:

1. Your tangible damages
2. The negligence of another
3. Proof that their negligence led to your damages.
