What is a Personal Injury Case?

Let's start at the very beginning: Just what is a personal injuy case? Lawyers will say that they handle "personal injury cases," or "accident cases," or "wrongful death cases", but what exactly does that mean?

A personal injury, car wreck, or wrongful death case is any type of claim where a person has been injured or killed due to someone else's carelessness, what the law characterizes as "negligence." Personal injury cases come in many different forms. Auto accidents, premises liability (including "slip and fall" and dog bite cases), products liability, and medical liability cases all fall generally under the classification of personal injury or "P.I." cases.
