⚡ What is a Personal Injury Claim?
A personal injury claim arises when someone is injured due to another party's negligence, recklessness, or intentional wrongdoing. To recover compensation, you must establish: (1) the defendant owed you a duty of care, (2) they breached that duty, (3) the breach caused your injury, and (4) you suffered actual damages.
