What is a personal injury claim?

 

A:

           The law requires all of us to behave in a reasonable (careful) manner.  Everyone has that duty as a member of society.  Sometimes when people act carelessly they hurt someone else.  This careless behavior is called negligence, and we can be held legally responsible for harm we cause to others when we engage in such behavior.  Persons injured by the careless acts of others may have a personal injury claim. 

            Personal injury claims come in all shapes and sizes.  They may result from injuries received by using an unreasonably dangerous product.  Serious mistakes made in hospitals may cause injuries.  A vicious dog may be left unrestrained and attack an unsuspecting child.  The most common source of personal injuries caused by the careless acts of other is the motor vehicle accident.
