Personal Injury – What Is It?

At RedStone Law, Attorneys Mike, Morgan & Mark explain that a personal injury case arises when someone suffers harm to their body, mind or emotions due to another party’s negligence or wrongful act. We serve clients throughout Kentucky and Tennessee, helping them understand the legal basis and available remedies.

What Defines a Personal Injury?

Under Kentucky and Tennessee law, a personal injury means bodily or emotional harm caused by someone else’s action, inaction or failure to exercise proper care.
Unlike simple accidents, personal injury claims center on tort law, the body of law that covers wrongful acts and the compensation owed.

Typical Types of Personal Injury Cases

We represent clients in a wide range of injury claims, including:

  • Auto, motorcycle, truck and pedestrian collisions
  • Workplace or industrial injuries
  • Medical malpractice and healthcare negligence
  • Slip & fall, premises liability and defective-product cases
  • Wrongful death and loss of consortium actions

Our focus on these areas gives us the depth and experience to handle complex cases involving multiple parties and large insurance companies.
