<br/><br/> An Injury Law Constitution presents a novel thesis that embraces leading features of the American law of injuries. The book argues that the body of law that Americans have developed concerning responsibility for injuries and prevention of injuries has some of the qualities of a constitution-a fundamental set of principles that govern relations between human persons and between individual persons and corporate and governmental institutions.
