Personal injury
Last modified: Thu Feb 23 16:37:37 2006
Injury, oddly enough, to the person. Broken bones are a personal injury, but the
concept is wide enough to encompass depression and anxiety (see PsychiatricInjury).
Personal injury accounts for such a large volume of litigation that it can almost be
seen as a branch of law in its own right -- it even has its own specialist law
reports. However, the principles of personal injury are derived from the ordinary
law of negligence.
