Personal Injury
Personal injury claims and lawsuits are filed when people are injured by another person – whether intentional or by carelessness – or are injured by products that are defective in some way.
When someone is determined to be legally accountable for injuring another, whether directly or through a product for which they are responsible, he or she is liable for the injury and can be made to pay the injured person compensatory damages. Compensatory damages attempt to put the injured person back in the position he or she was in before the injury. In some cases, punitive damages (additional money paid as a fine) are awarded to punish the wrongdoers and prevent them from doing additional harm.
