Personal injury is an area of law where a claim or lawsuit is brought on behalf of someone who sustains an injury to the body, mind or emotions, as opposed to an injury or damage to a personÂ’s property. A personal injury lawsuit is type of civil matter called a tort. This means that there is no jail time at stake, but rather the lawsuit is about money. A personal injury can happen many different ways. Most commonly a personal injury claim occurs when someone is hurt because of someone else’s negligence.
But sometimes the personal injury can happen as a result of an intentional act, such as a physical assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress or defamation.  A person or a company can be found to be liable for a personal injury, thus requiring them to pay compensatory damages, and in some cases punitive damages. Punitive damages are additional penalties for especially dangerous conduct that shows a conscious disregard for the someoneÂ’s life or safety.
