The term “personal injury” covers a wide variety of cases where a person has been injured. At their most basic level, personal injury cases include any instance where you have been injured due to someone else’s negligence.
Common types of personal injury cases include:
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Wrongful death
- Workers’ Compensation
- Slip and fall injuries
- Pedestrian accidents
- Product liability
- Pharmaceutical liability
- Medical malpractice
Each personal injury case is unique, and each will yield a different result. The damages that can be claimed are varied, but can include:
- Disfigurement – if any scars or other disfigurement is present after the accident, and mental anguish due to disfigurement
- Future medical expenses – if there will be ongoing medical therapy
- General – any damages that would normally result after the accident
- Long term care – if you will need household services provided after the accident for any length of time
- Lost earning capacity – if the injuries inhibit your ability to work or work in your field
- Lost wages – if you have missed any time at work due to the accident
These are only a few of the different types of damages you may be able to claim for your personal injury lawsuit.
