'Personal injury' is an umbrella term for the different kinds of physical injury and material losses that you may suffer while on the road, at work, in a public place or building, or due to medical negligence. If you've been injured as a result of someone else's fault or negligence, you may be entitled to a personal injury compensation payment.
