Generally speaking, you have a personal injury case if you suffered injuries because of someone else’s unreasonably dangerous decisions or actions. The American Bar Association defines personal injury as an area of law “designed to protect you if you or your property is injured or harmed because of someone else’s act or failure to act.” That “someone” can be a person, a business, an organization, or even a government agency. The injury you suffer can include physical, emotional, and financial harm.
In New Jersey, we all have a basic obligation not to cause each other harm through our actions or decisions. Statutes and regulations explain some of the things we must do, or must not do, to keep each other safe from harm.
