Commonly Asked Personal Injury Questions

What is personal injury (PI) law?
Personal injury law is the area of law that allows you to collect money for physical or psychological damage caused by another person.  Sometimes you are able to collect money because the other person behaved negligently.  Perhaps the other driver was not paying attention and rear-ended your car.  Other times, the defendant person intentionally harmed you.  A third type of personal injury claim is based upon “strict liability.”  This makes the other person or entity liable to you simply because he engaged in a certain conduct.  Strict liability law allows you to recover damages whether he was negligent or not.
