A personal injury claim can be brought on the grounds of negligence, breach of statutory duty, or breach of contract. Negligence is when a person or entity fails to take reasonable care to avoid causing harm to another person. Breach of statutory duty is when a person or entity fails to comply with a law or regulation that is meant to protect people from harm. Breach of contract is when a person or entity does not fulfill the terms of an agreement that was made between two parties.
