any harm done to a person by the acts or omissions of another. Injury may include
physical hurt as well as damage to reputation or dignity, loss of a legal right
or breach of contract. If the party causing the injury was either willful (intentionally
causing harm) or negligent then he/she is responsible (liable) for payment of damages
for the harm caused. Theoretically, potential or continuing injury may be prevented
by an order of the court upon a petition for an injunction.
