Personal Injury Forms

Personal Injury Law applies to legal protection and defenses dealing with civil lawsuits made because of a wrongful conduct or act. Since these acts are caused based on neglect and therefore, are based in the doctrine of negligence. The doctrine understands that accidents are unavoidable, and negligence will not be a result in every accident. However, if the plaintiff can show injury due to negligence from a prudent person that could have prevented the accident, then the doctrine takes place.
