A substantial part of civil litigation cases is from personal injury cases. When someone suffers because of the carelessness of another person or party, it is their right to seek justice for their injuries. The U.S. Department of Justice has reported that there are over 400K personal injury claims every year.
Personal injury is the legal term for an injury to someone's body, mind, emotions, or reputation rather than harm to property. An accident claim should involve liability, fault, and damages, and these need to be proven to be linked, indicating that the defendant is responsible for the injuries incurred. These could have been caused by the defendant’s negligence, reckless conduct, or intentional misconduct.
