What is a personal injury?
A personal injury may be physical (head and brain injuries, broken bones, burns, cuts and lacerations, internal injuries, etc.); they may also be psychological (emotional distress, mental anguish, PTSD, etc.). Personal injuries may be complex, they can be compounded by other injuries, and are frequently long-lasting (or even permanent).
An injured person may bring a lawsuit to recover compensation for their injuries. If another individual, business, or entity caused the injury through carelessness or recklessness, the injured person may be able to hold the responsible party financially liable.
