Personal injury, which is sometimes referred to as tort law, covers any injury, wrong or damage you suffer to your person, property, rights, or reputation due to the negligence or actions of another. Personal injuries can be physical or psychological, and commonly arise out of issues of negligence or unreasonably unsafe actions of employers, manufacturers, doctors and other medical professionals, landlords, or other persons or organizations who owe you a duty of ordinary care.

How do Personal Injuries Occur?

There are many ways for a personal injury to arise. It can occur in the workplace or in a traffic accident. A personal injury can be the result of a faulty or defective product or repair, a mistaken diagnosis or improper medical treatment, or because you slipped and fell on a wet floor or pavement.

Examples of personal injury law cases include:

• Car accidents
• Professional malpractice
• Product liability
• Birth injury
• Wrongful death
• Libel
• Slander
• Nursing home neglect and abuse
• Trespass
• Nuisance
