What Qualifies as a Personal Injury
Personal injuries can take on any number of forms. Here is a list of common personal injuries that people may suffer from. Any of these scenarios mean that you should pursue a personal injury claim.
If you were injured due to the negligent driving of someone else, you have grounds to make a personal injury case. Whether it was a car, truck, or motorcycle accident that you were involved in, you deserve compensation for your personal injuries from the guilty driver. Pursuing personal injury claims against the wrongful driver is also helping prevent him or her from repeating negligent driving actions that could result in the injury or death of others in the future.
If you have been injured in a bicycle or pedestrian accident due to someone else’s carelessness, you are entitled to pursue a personal injury case. Such incidents can cause significant harm, and you deserve just compensation from the responsible party. Taking legal action not only aids in your recovery but also serves to deter similar negligent behavior, protecting other cyclists and pedestrians from future harm.
Boating accidents often result from negligence. If you’ve been injured on the water due to another’s reckless or inattentive behavior, you have the right to file a personal injury lawsuit. Claiming compensation helps cover your recovery costs and can prevent the at-fault party from endangering others, promoting safer waterway practices.
Injuries sustained in public transportation incidents can be severe. If your injury resulted from the negligence of a public transit operator or other related parties, you can seek damages through a personal injury claim. By holding the responsible entities accountable, you not only secure the compensation needed for your injuries but also contribute to enhancing safety standards in public transportation.
Traumatic brain injuries caused by someone else’s negligence warrant serious legal consideration. If you or a loved one has suffered a TBI, pursuing a personal injury case is crucial not only for obtaining compensation but also for preventing future negligence. Your action can drive home the importance of responsibility and caution in activities that could lead to similar injuries.
Spinal cord injuries can have life-altering consequences. If such an injury is due to another’s negligence, it is your right to file for compensation. Pursuing your claim is essential not only for your financial and physical recovery but also serves as a deterrent against negligence that could harm others, promoting safer environments for everyone.
Animal attacks can be traumatic and often occur due to the negligence of the animal’s owner. If you are a victim, you are justified in seeking compensation through a personal injury claim. This not only aids in your recovery but also emphasizes the importance of responsible pet ownership, preventing future incidents.
If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall accident caused by unsafe property conditions, you’re entitled to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Claiming compensation can aid your recovery and acts as a crucial reminder to property owners to maintain safe environments, thereby preventing further accidents and injuries.
Burn injuries can be devastating and often result from negligence, such as inadequate safety protocols or faulty equipment. By filing a personal injury claim, you can secure the necessary compensation for your recovery and help enforce safety standards that prevent similar incidents, ensuring safer conditions for others.
What Does Personal Injury Compensation Include?
As a victim of personal injury, it’s useful to know what compensation you are pursuing against the at-fault driver or manager. Here are expenses that personal injury victims try to get compensation for:
Medical costs
Lost wages (present and future)
Pain and suffering compensation
Emotional distress compensation
Disfigurement
Disability
Reduced earning potential
Loss of consortium or companionship (usually for married couples)
