A personal injury case is a type of legal action that an individual can bring against someone who’s harmed them in some way. Common grounds for personal injury cases include car crashes, falls, dog bites, pedestrian accidents, defective products, and nursing home neglect. The goal is for the injured party to “be made whole again” – that is, to be restored as nearly as possible to their pre-injury condition. That could involve money to pay for their medical bills, offset their lost income, and compensate them for their pain and suffering, to name just a few examples.
