This is NOT criminal law; it's called civil law.  Personal injury may happen after some of the following examples: 
 
 Car Accidents/Drunk Driving 
 Vehicular accidents involving trucks, boats, bicycles, plans, motorcycles and trains 
 Construction/Jobsite Accidents 
 Slip and Fall Accidents/Premise Liability 
 Spinal Cord Injury 
 Traumatic Brain Injury 
 Wrongful Death
