A personal injury is a legal term that is generally used to define an injury that an individual has sustained to their body, mind or emotions.

With more than 32 MILLION people having suffered a personal injury in 2011, many injury victims are faced with the costs associated with the recovery of these damages, including medical and outpatient treatment costs, medication expenses, pain and suffering and lost wages.

If you or someone you love has suffered a serious personal injury due to the negligence of another, that person may be eligible to receive compensation for their injuries.

Types of Personal Injuries

While there can be many different types of damages, most personal injuries can be categorized into three primary areas of damage.

These areas include:

Physical Wounds – as the name implies a physical wound is when an individual has suffered an injury to their body. Some of the most common examples of a physical would include:

• Broken bones
• Concussions
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Whiplash
• Spinal cord injuries
• Facial and dental damage
• Internal injuries
• Burns
• Lacerations

…. Amongst many others.

Emotional Distress – this type of injury is quite common, but as it is not a visible injury it can often be much more difficult to detect. Emotion distress injuries often have a direct impact on a personal level, which can include:

• Loss of ability to focus
• Loss of ability to participate in social activities
• Loss of desire to compete in sporting or other athletic endeavors

This type of injury can often have a negative effect on the overall mental health of the victim.

Financial Damages – The costs associated with the repair and recovery of a personal injury are often crushing for many victims. Some example of financial damages are:

• Lost wages due to an inability to work
• Medical expenses
• Rehabilitation service costs
• Medication costs
• Vehicle repairs or rental car expenses

In many cases, the costs associated with the recovery can cause further stress and fatigue on not only the injured person, but also on their families and other dependents.

Common Injury Causes

The threat of a serious personal injury can be almost anywhere. From the work place to driving to the grocery store to simply walking up a flight of uneven stairs, there can be many sources that can cause injury.

Some of the most common can include:

• Automotive accidents
• Injures at work
• Slip and fall accidents
• Motorcycle crashes
• Incorrect prescription drug dosages
• Faulty medication
• Truck accidents

… and many others.

As with any serious injury, it is very important to seek urgent medical care provided by a licensed medical practitioner.
