Personal injury refers to harm suffered by a person as a result of another party’s negligence or wrongful conduct.

In legal terms, it allows an injured person to claim compensation for physical injuries, emotional distress, medical expenses, loss of income, and other related damages.

Common examples of personal injury claims include road accidents (including pedestrian and passenger claims), medical negligence, slip and fall incidents, workplace injuries, and assault. In each case, the key issue is whether a duty of care was owed, whether that duty was breached, and whether the breach caused the injury.

If you have been injured due to someone else’s actions or failure to act, you may have a valid claim and the right to seek compensation.
