OVERVIEW: Personal injury law involves claims of persons injured as a result of an accident, failure to act, negligence, or the intentional act of another person.  Commonly, such claims result from automobile accidents, slip and falls, and work accidents.  As an injured person, you are entitled to recover your damages if your injury was the foreseeable and proximate result of another person’s negligence or the breach of a duty of care that is owed to you.  More information on such claims can be found under the following topics:
