It does not include injury or harm done to one’s property. These incidents are typically considered to fall under tort law. Personal injuries may be sustained in just about any activity, although the most common types of these claims arise from injuries caused by car accidents, workplace accidents, personal assault, home accidents, and defective product accidents.
