What is Personal Injury?

Personal injury is the term used to describe an injury sustained by an individual. It is a broad term used for both injuries such as fractures, sprains and lacerations and for illnesses caused by exposure to hazardous substances, like asbestosis or food poisoning.

Whether an injury, illness or industrial disease suffered is relatively minor or very severe, it would still be considered a personal injury. If this damage has been caused by the negligence or breach of duty of another party, the injured person may well be entitled to make a personal injury claim for compensation.

Who Is Responsible?

It is only possible to make a personal injury claim if another party is responsible in some way for the harm you have suffered. It could be that someone else's negligence caused your accident / illness or that they failed to take reasonable steps to prevent it.

The person or company responsible for your accident could be an employer, a local authority responsible for a defective pavement, the manufacturer of a faulty product or another driver in a car accident for example. In order for anyone to be held liable, it must be shown that they caused the injury or illness either by their actions or their failure to act.

In many cases it is clear who is to blame, however in others it is less simple. If it is in any way unclear, the other party is likely to argue that they are not responsible.
