Personal injury law in the UK is designed to safeguard and provide financial relief for individuals who have suffered harm due to negligence of another party. It covers a wide range of circumstances, from injuries at work and road traffic collisions to medical negligence and slips, trips, and falls. The fundamental aspect of personal injury law is that individuals must adhere to a duty of care to others, and when this duty is breached, leading to harm, the victim is entitled to pursue damages.
