As a child, Matt Murdock was blinded by radioactive waste while trying to save an elderly stranger about to get hit by a truck carrying the dangerous material. In turn, his other senses were heightened to superhuman sharpness and he gained a form of "radar sense". By day, he is a successful trial lawyer; but by night, he guards Hell's Kitchen as Daredevil: the Man Without Fear.
I'd start looking at those trades from the start of Bendis's run on up to tell you the truth. http://www.comicvine.com/daredevil/49-6209/ Everything involved in his history has been building and building up to now, and it's all exploded into this new Shadowland event. If you want the full Daredevil experience, that's the best place. If you're looking for a quick read, maybe don't mind looking up some things on wiki's and stuff. I'd just start with the Murdock Papers and go on. http://www.comicvine.com/daredevil-the-murdock-papers-daredevil-the-murdock-papers/37-204764/ Not too far back, but still far enough so you can get a good feel for the character and how messed up his life really is.
