Personal injury includes injuries to the body, mind or emotions, as opposed to an injury to property. If the negligence of another person can be proved, the person who is injured may be entitled to monetary compensation from that person who was negligent. Attorneys often represent clients on a contingency basis, in which the attorneys fee is a percentage of the compensation the plaintiff receives, payable when the case is resolved. Cases involving people who have suffered an injury for which someone else (an individual or business) may be legally liable -- may include injuries caused by car accidents, medical malpractice, dog bites, slip and fall incidents, and emotional distress.
Pisgah is a city in Harrison County, Iowa, United States, along the Soldier River. The community is located in the midst of the modestly scenic Loess Hills. The population was 316 at the 2000 census. The town's name is a biblical one chosen by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Mormons, who established a temporary settlement in central Iowa near a hill they christened Mount Pisgah. Pisgah was the birthplace of Mexican-American War hero and Mormon Battalion organizer James Allen and of Major League Baseball third baseman Loren Babe. It is also the hometown of former Nebraska Cornhuskers and current Ohio Bobcat radio announcer Warren Swain
