Who Is Responsible When a Person Is Injured?
Personal injury law covers injury suffered by a person. Personal injury is part of the law of torts, the legal term that includes all kinds of injuries to people and their property. State law usually governs personal injury lawsuits, but federal law may apply in certain circumstances. For example, the Federal Tort Claims Act may cover an injury suffered on federal property or international treaties may govern liability for injuries suffered in an airplane crash.
