Personal injuries are bodily injuries that happen to an individual. If the bodily injury is the result of someone else's wrongful or negligent act, a personal injury lawsuit can be pursued via litigation or negotiation. Responsibility for damages rests with the wrongdoer or their insurance company.

Some examples of situations that can lead to a personal injury claim include:

• Car accidents.
• Aviation accidents.
• Assualt or battery.
• Accidents while traveling.
• Construction defects.
• Spinal cord injuries.
• Brain injuries.
• Water related injury.
• Pedestrian or bicycle related injuries.

These are some common examples of situations that can lead to personal injury claims. Each state has different laws relating to how long you have to file a personal injury lawsuit.

How do I know if I have a personal injury case?

To have a personal injury case, you must be able to show that you have been injured. This may be a physical injury or it may be an emotional injury. In addition, you must be able to show that the someone else (the defendant) is at fault for your injury under a negligence, strict liability or intentional misconduct theory. In some cases, it may be necessary for you to show that the other party is more at fault for the injury than you are.
