A personal injury complaint is a legal document that initiates the personal injury litigation process. It is filed by the injured person (the plaintiff) to start litigation against the at-fault party (the defendant). The defendant is required to answer the complaint with an answer (also a legal document). A personal injury complaint often contains general information that is required to start legal proceedings. This information includes the date that the accident occurred, the actions or conduct of the defendant that led to the accident, and a request by the plaintiff for relief. The plaintiff may also list additional details about the circumstances of the accident. However, they do not have to be specific.
