An injury is a harm suffered by a person due to some act or omission done by another person, and can generally give rise to a civil tort claim or a criminal prosecution. ���

An injury or harm done is also an essential element of unintentional torts. In California for example, a negligent act or omission is a breach of the duty of care to �prevent harm to oneself or others.�

Some other forms of injury recognized by the law include:

• A permanent injury is a type of personal injury of a nature that has a lasting, adverse effect on employment potential.
• An irreparable injury is a type of harm that cannot be cured or reversed by monetary compensation. One example is the pollution of a river.
