Personal injury law is a large field. Its goal is to compensate people who have been harmed due to the improper actions of another. The harm can range from small things such as animal bites and broken fingers to serious injuries or death.

In order to bring a claim for personal injury, the plaintiff must show that the defendant committed an act for which the law provides a remedy. The name of the action the plaintiff brings will change depending on what act he alleges the defendant committed. For example, if the plaintiff alleges that he was harmed due to the defendant’s carelessness, the plaintiff may bring an action for negligence. If the plaintiff was injured due to a defective product the defendant sold or produced, the plaintiff may bring a claim for products liability. If the plaintiff was injured because the defendant was a doctor who acted negligently in causing plaintiff’s injury, the plaintiff may bring a case of medical malpractice.

Types of Personal Injuries:

- Medical Malpractice
