Personal Injury refers to any number of damages or injuries resulting from the negligence or maliciousness of a person or persons. From “slip and fall” accidents to occasions of assault, from defective products to defamation, Personal Injuries occur every day as a fact of life. The location where the injury occurred is important for determining who may be liable. If fault can be proved, the harmed person will likely be entitled to monetary compensation for the injury or damages suffered. While some cases go through formal court proceedings, Personal Injury lawsuits are far more frequently resolved outside of court with informal settlements.
