Chapter 1, "Personal Injury 101", by Charles Jerome Ware:

By definition, “personal injury law” is that area of the law designed to protect you --- your body, mind and emotions --- because of somebody else’s act or failure to act.  It is also known as “tort law.”  In a successful personal injury or tort action, the person who caused the injury or harm is called upon to compensate the person who suffered the losses.  Generally, there are three established theories of personal injury or tort liability:  negligence, strict liability and intentional misconduct.

The most common typical kinds of personal injury claims include traffic accidents, so-called “slip and falls”, tripping accidents, accidents at work, assault and battery claims, accidents in the home, product defects or so-called product liability claims, inter alia.  On a broader scale, “personal injury” can also include medical malpractice, dental malpractice, orthopedic (chiropractic) malpractice, and the category of industrial disease cases which encompass asbestosis and mesothelioma, emphysema, pneumoconiosis, silicosis, chronic bronchitis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and chronic obstructive airways disease, vibration white finger, occupational deafness, occupational stress, contact dermatitis, sarcodosis, post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSS), and repetitive strain injury [“Nolo’s Free Dictionary of Law Terms and Legal Definitions”, Nolo.com, September 18, 2009; Black’s Law Dictionary; Barron’s Law Dictionary].

My main tip for the reader in this chapter on personal injury is that too many consumers who are victims of personal injury settle their cases too soon; without full and proper medical treatment and physical rehabilitation.
