A personal injury is any event that a person is injured due to someone’s else negligence or intentional actions. A very common personal injury caused by negligence is a slip and fall accident. These accidents are normally caused by an employee’s negligence – spilling water and not cleaning it up or mopping the floor and failing to leave a “wet floor” sign. Personal injuries can also occur due to someone’s intentional actions such as mugging, pushing, or driving under the influence.
