A quick definition of accidental injury:

An accidental injury is when someone gets hurt by accident. It can be a physical injury, like a cut or a broken bone, or it can be emotional, like feeling sad or scared. Sometimes accidents happen because someone wasn't being careful, but other times they happen for no reason at all. If someone gets hurt because of someone else's actions, it's called a wrong or injustice, and the law can help make it right.

A more thorough explanation:

An accidental injury is when someone gets hurt by accident. This can happen in many different ways, like falling down the stairs or getting hit by a car.

In legal terms, an injury is a violation of someone's legal rights that can be remedied by the law. For example, if someone is injured in a car accident, they may be able to sue the driver who caused the accident for damages.

Accidental injuries can be divided into two types: real injuries, like broken bones or cuts, and verbal injuries, like slander or defamation. Real injuries can be criminal or civil wrongs, while verbal injuries are usually civil wrongs.

Examples of accidental injuries include:

  • A person slipping on a wet floor and breaking their arm
  • A child getting hit by a baseball during a game
  • A person getting burned while cooking

These examples illustrate how accidental injuries can happen in many different ways and can cause harm or damage to a person's body.

@llama: your cycle confuses me, your stats are good and you applied early but all of those Rs? Is there anything weird about your app?
RasheedWallaceFan
12:53
do you have C&F issues or something?
RasheedWallaceFan
12:55
also ur first choice is kansas but you didnt apply there?
llama
12:55
@RasheedWallaceFan: Hi. Yes, I waited for April LSAT, put almost all apps (which were sent really early) so that basically most of my apps were reviewed In May. Shot myself in the foot for 155 -> 161 lmao. Would not recommend 10/10
llama
12:57
@RasheedWallaceFan: unironically, KSLS was my top choice, however by April LSAT their app had closed. It was like waiting to date ur dream partner, but waiting until you graduate uni, then by the time u graduate uni, your soul mate is already married with 2.4 kids and 1.6 dogs. Heartbreak.exe fr fr

No, I think what I will do is flip a coin: heds NKU, tails NEL|B what u guys think bout dat. Then once 1L - if good at LS, try to transfer, if bad at LS or one of my grandiose ideas/inventions are viable, drop out and pursue.
RasheedWallaceFan
13:10

Most schools will hold your application for the next test score to be released into your account as well. I was notified by an admissions director that if a decision is processed they will not retroactively go back for the new score even if higher

I vote NEL-Boston so we can be friends :D
ParallelAgreeableOrangutan
13:34
But it says you withdrew?? :(
ParallelAgreeableOrangutan

@Bettercaulsaul: in my experience, there is often an option on the application for you to choose whether you'd like them to review your application as-is ASAP or hold it until your new score is released. but it probably varies by school—I just remember seeing that option on at least a few app forms
