Personal Injury

            Personal Injury is a well known legal field and is abundant with myths.  Personal Injury can occur from negligence or intentional actions.  Intentional tort actions are the consequences from assaults, batteries, trespasses, nuisances, false imprisonments, malicious prosecutions, conversion, trespass to chattels and the intentional infliction of emotional distress. 

Negligence actions when a person does not act according to how a reasonable person would have acted. 

For example, where a reasonable person would follow traffic laws, one who does not follow the traffic laws, and crashes into another, is liable for damages caused by the negligent act because that person should have followed the traffic laws since that is what reasonable people should do in society. 

Another commonly seen scenario is when a customer is in a store, slips, and falls.  The question in this case is not whether a reasonable business owner should keep a floor clean but how often should they inspect and clean the floors.
