		Injury is described as self-inflicted and is not compatible with the age or developmental abilities of the child.
		Physical: Physical examination of the child with an injury obviously is important, and the order of the complete examination is determined by the presenting condition of the child.
		Determining whether an injury was inflicted by a caregiver or caused by an accidental means is extremely important in that the treatment plan and well being of the child and family are at stake.

	96-0137 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Even though Lust may not have emphasized his physical condition as strongly as his claimed mental injuries, a fair reading of the entire record reasonably alerted UPS that Lust's claim for compensation was linked to his physical condition as well as his mental injuries.
		Because claims of mental injury resulting from mental stress are inherently difficult to disprove, the court adopted the "unusual stress" test which requires that "mental injury nontraumatically caused must have resulted from a situation of greater dimensions than the day-to-day emotional strain and tension which all employees must experience." Id.
		In a situation involving a definable physical injury, the skepticism which the law harbors about mental injuries (and which produced the "unusual stress" test) is not as great.

	Nos. 88407, 88410 cons. - Traveler's Insurance Co. v. Eljer Manufacturing, Inc. (Il. S. Ct.)
		The policyholders characterize the injury to the homes as "physical" because the defective Qest system was physically incorporated and connected to the residences and diminished the value of the residences from the moment the Qest system was installed.
		First, if we were to hold that the installation of a fully functional plumbing system constituted "physical injury to tangible property," we would effectively eliminate the word "physical" from the policies' definition of "property damage" and thereby fundamentally alter the terms of the insurance contract entered into between the parties.
		Construing "physical injury" in this manner would violate the paramount rule in interpreting policy provisions, which is to ascertain and give effect to the intent of the parties.

	Dugan v. Sweetster, Inc. (Griffen, J.) CA95-1066
		We disagree and reverse, holding that the Commission erred when it held that Dugan failed to prove that he received a physical injury so that his mental problems were compensable.
		Hence, it is clear that Dugan received an electrical shock in the course of his employment that produced a physical injury.
		However, we find no substantial basis to uphold the denial of benefits to the appellant where the proof of his physical injury is present in the undisputed medical records.

	Martinez v. Bally's (5th Cir. 2001)
		Martinez argues that she did not waive all claims of physical injury, because she misunderstood the meaning of the phrase "physical injury." She and her counsel interpreted the words "physical injury" to mean physical injury as a result of physical contact, rather than physical injury resulting from either physical contact or emotional distress.
		Martinez states that the affidavit did sufficiently explain that she waived only claims of physical injury resulting from physical contact, but that the physical injuries resulting from the sexual harassment including nervousness, sleeplessness, inability to focus and dependence on antidepressant medication were not waived.
		However, the Court agrees with the district court that Martinez' counsel's statements, made as Bally's counsel was questioning the plaintiff regarding physical injury, that she waived all such claims, was an act of waiver relating to defendant's proof of fact.

		She tends to be middle- or upper-middle-class, intelligent, well-educated, and from a background of physical and/or sexual abuse or from a home with at least one alcoholic parent.
		People who inflict physical harm on themselves are often doing it in an attempt to maintain psychological integrity -- it's a way to keep from killing themselves.
		In places where people know that self-inflicted injuries are liable to lead to mistreatment and lengthy psychological evaluations, they are much less likely to seek medical attention for their wounds and thus are at a higher risk for wound infections and other complications.

	Journal of Accountancy: Taxing punitive damages for physical injury or sickness (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		However, a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision undermines the argument that punitive damages received in physical injury or physical sickness cases in prior tax years are excludable.
		While this case was governed by pre-1989 law, one of the petitioners' arguments relied on the 1989 amendment to section 104, which prohibited punitive damages not involving physical injury or physical sickness from being excluded under section 104(b)(2).
		Given the conference report's express recognition of differing court opinions, the acknowledgment of the pending Supreme Court decision in O'Gilvie and the explicit statement that no inference is intended as to the proper interpretation of prior law, O'Gilvie puts a taxpayer at significant risk if he or she received punitive damages in open tax years.

		Personal injury is the name given to the branch of tort law that covers any wrong or damage done to another in his person, property, rights, or reputation.
		A personal injury can happen at work, in a traffic accident, because of a faulty product or a faulty repair, because of a mistake during medical treatment, or because you slipped and fell on a wet floor or pavement.
		The personal injury can be physical or psychological but, to be considered actionable, it must occur due to the negligence or unreasonably unsafe actions of your employer, a manufacturer, your doctor, your landlord, or some other person or organization who owes you a duty of ordinary care.

		It can be difficult to prove the lasting physical effects of TBI to the satisfaction of a judge or jury when there are no apparent physical injuries and when neurological exams return normal results.
