Personal injury law is also known as tort law. A tort occurs when someone acts in a negligent manner that results in injury or damage to another.

In general, negligence is the failure to use due care. Due care is the degree of care that a reasonable and prudent person would use in similar circumstances.

In general, a plaintiff in a tort action must show a defendant was negligent to recover damages. Defendants may allege that the plaintiff was negligent and contributed to the damages suffered.

Other areas of tort law that is more refined. For example, in medical malpractice, the plaintiff must prove professional negligence; in other words, the medical provider failed to use the care that a reasonable and prudent medical provider would use under similar circumstances. There are also cases where a defendant may be liable if someone is injured absent of negligent conduct by any person. Those types of cases include when a person is bitten by a dog without provocation, in defective product claims, or when persons are injured when a defendant undertakes a highly hazardous activity.
