New Jersey Personal Injury Lawyer

What Is Personal Injury?

​​Personal injury is an umbrella term that refers to any injury you personally suffer from as a result of someone else's negligence. An injured person can file a lawsuit against another individual, business, or entity with a personal injury claim.

There are two major components to any personal injury claim:

• Negligence: a personal injury case must prove that the responsible party showed a lack of care, which resulted in your injuries.
• Damages: once negligence is established, damages for both economic and non-economic loses can be collected in the form of a settlement.
