Personal injury claims and lawsuits arise in a situation in which a person is physically injured or suffers from emotional anguish or trauma due to the negligent or intentional acts of others. When a person is determined to be legally responsible for injuring someone else, they are liable for the injury and may be made to pay the injured person compensatory damages. Compensatory damages are awarded as an attempt to return the injured party to the condition in which they existed before the injury. In some cases, punitive damages are also awarded in these lawsuits. Punitive damages are intended to punish those who have acted illegally, maliciously or negligently and deter them from harming others in the future.

Such injuries can also have detrimental effects on a victim's personal relationships, quality of life and ability to earn a living in the face of ongoing treatment costs related to the injury.
