Common Personal Injury Cases
Personal injury claims can be separated into two main categories. The majority of cases fall into accidental injury: the at-fault person didn’t intentionally cause harm, but nonetheless, injuries occurred.

In the majority of cases, the burden of proof lies on the victim to demonstrate that the defendant behaved negligently. The defendant must have had a direct duty to protect the victim, and when they behave negligently this duty is broken, and that this led to the victim’s injuries.
Compensation for Damages
It’s rare to see a case where injuries occurred due to an intentional act. They do occur and are also often tried through the criminal courts. These incidents usually involve assault, sexual abuse, or kidnapping are all grounds for civil lawsuits. No matter what the outcome of a criminal trial is, the injured party still has the ability to pursue civil damages.
