What Is Personal Injury?
Civil law includes personal injury. Personal injury claims are meant to compensate victims of social wrongs or accidents, such as defamation.
In a personal injury case, the plaintiff is the one who has been injured. The defendant in a personal injury case is the one against whom the case is being brought.
The plaintiff in a case where the victim dies from an accident is the representative of his estate. In a personal injuries claim, the defendant is the party whose negligence caused the victim's injury or loss. The cross-defendant is when the defendant claims that another party is to blame.
