What is a Personal Injury Claim?

A personal injury claim is a legal process where someone injured due to another’s negligence or intentional harm seeks compensation for damages like medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.

Its purpose is to hold the responsible party accountable and secure compensation for the harm caused.
