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 person’s property.  A personal injury lawsuit is type of civil matter called a tort. This means that there is no jail time is at stake, but rather the lawsuit is about money. An injury can happen many different ways. Most commonly a personal injury claim occurs when someone is hurt because of someone else’s negligence.
