What is a personal injury claim?
A personal injury is a legal term to describe physical or phycological harm to your person, as opposed to your property.
People may claim compensation if they are injured as a result of an accident which was not their fault – this is referred to as a personal injury claim.
The most common types of personal injury claims are for:
-
- road traffic accidents (covered by motor insurance)
- accidents at work (covered by employers’ liability insurance)
- accidents on public property or on business premises (covered by public liability insurance)
