Personal Injury
Personal injury laws define the type and amount of compensation that a personal injury victim may seek from the person or company responsible for their injury. There are two main categories of personal injury:
Negligence –when someone fails to take appropriate measures to prevent accidents, injury, or illness. For example, a store owner who neglects to clean up a spill, or a driver who operates a vehicle recklessly may be subject to a personal injury lawsuit.
Strict Liability – when a company is responsible for manufacturing or distributing a defective product that causes injury to the user.
