A quick definition of continuing injury:

Continuing injury: When someone's legal rights are violated and they are harmed, it is called an injury. Continuing injury means that the harm or damage is ongoing and not just a one-time event. This can happen in many different ways, such as ongoing physical harm or emotional distress. Injuries can be caused by criminal actions, like assault, or civil actions, like defamation.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Continuing injury is a type of harm or damage that persists over time. It refers to a violation of someone's legal rights that causes ongoing harm or injustice.

For example, if someone is exposed to toxic chemicals in their workplace and develops a chronic illness as a result, this would be considered a continuing injury. The initial exposure to the chemicals was the injury, but the ongoing harm caused by the illness is the continuing injury.

Another example of continuing injury is when someone is the victim of ongoing harassment or discrimination in the workplace. The initial harm is the first instance of harassment or discrimination, but the ongoing harm caused by the continued mistreatment is the continuing injury.

Continuing injury can be both a criminal and civil wrong. In some cases, it may be possible to seek legal remedies to address the ongoing harm caused by the injury.
