Personal injury is defined under the law as bodily harm that is the result of an accident that was caused by another’s negligence. Essentially, if you are injured due to no fault of your own, like in a car accident or due to unsafe pedestrian conditions, you have legally suffered a personal injury and may be entitled to compensation. Types of accidents that commonly result in personal injury include but are not limited to automobile accidents, motorcycle accidents, rideshare accidents, truck accidents, pedestrian accidents, wrongful death incidents, dog bites, and slip and fall/trip and fall.
