Personal injury law covers situations in which a person is injured physically or psychologically due to the negligence of another person, entity or organisation.

Common personal injury cases include car and motor vehicle accidents, being injured by a faulty product, slip and fall in public areas like a shopping centre, accidents at the workplace, medical malpractice or even working in hazardous conditions like exposure to asbestos.

Most personal injury cases involve negligence. For the law to determine if a personal injury claim should receive compensation, and to what extent, it has to be proved that the other party neglected their reasonable duty of care, causing the injuries. Dependants of the person injured may also seek compensation.

While most personal injury cases are resolved in mediation between both parties, some outcomes are determined by the court of law. Under personal injury law, compensation could be paid to cover expenses like medical bills and lost income to things that are harder to quantify like general pain and suffering. Outcomes for personal injury cases that do go to court will be decided by a judge.
