What is Personal Injury

Personal injury, quite simply, means injury to an individual. Personal injury law allows a person who has suffered an injury to sue in a civil action, commonly referred to as a tort action. A “tort” is principally a wrong against a person; any injury or accident against an individual can constitute a tort. Whether it is a motor vehicle accident, general negligence, or product use, generally speaking any wrong and resulting accident or injury can constitute a tort.

Fault and Liability
The crucial element in a personal injury lawsuit is the issue of fault. There are different degrees of fault and several elements must be proven in court to have a successful tort action against the opposing or negligent party. The victim in these cases may even be partly at fault in the accident, yet that does not necessarily mean that they cannot bring, and win, a lawsuit.

Success
In a successful suit the accuser will recover damages in an attempt by the court to once again “make the victim whole.” Recoverable damages are numerous, but typically include current and future medical bills and lost income. Unquantifiable damages are also fair game, including pain and suffering or permanent disfigurement.
