Personal injury lawsuits fall under an area of the law called tort law. Tort law is designed to address civil wrongdoing (not based in contractual obligations) and provide a remedy in the form of compensation for the wronged party. There are three kinds of torts--negligence, intentional and strict liability. Most cases in this country are based on proving negligence.
