Common Personal Injury Questions

What Is A Personal Injury Case?

A personal injury case is grounded in the legal concept of tort. A “tort” is a French word meaning “twisted” or “wrong.” Most personal injury cases deal with the tort of “negligence.” Negligence is when someone fails to act in a reasonable fashion and someone is injured as a result. In an example of motor vehicle accident, one party is found to have caused the accident because of a mistake they made, that person would be liable under the tort of negligence.
