What types of injuries are included under Personal Injury?

Posted in Uncategorized

Personal injury can include numerous types of injuries – each their own subsection of law but still falling under the umbrella category of personal injury. Below is a list of the more common subcategories of personal injuries under which you can file a claim:

  • Birth Injury: An injury or disability (typically) caused by the poor decision-making of medical staff, that occurs during or after birth.
  • Medical Malpractice: Negligence of a medical professional that results in injury or death.
  • Wrongful Death: Negligence of another that results in death, brought by family members of the deceased.
  • Brain Injury: A trauma to the head that results in the short-term or permanent injury of the brain.
  • Auto Accidents: Car accidents, motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, etc.
  • Product Liability: A product defect that caused an injury to the user, such as a vehicle with a malfunctioning brake system.
  • Mesothelioma: A large portion of these cancer cases can be linked to asbestos exposure and can be pursued against an employer or entity that didn’t take the necessary precautions.
  • Bad/Wrong Medication(s): If you take prescription medication and you suffer an injury or disability because you were given the wrong type or a bad medication, you can file a personal injury claim against the manufacturer.

If you or a loved one has been injured and believe it was the actions of another party that caused your harm, you may be able to recover monetary compensation. Technically, you can file a claim on your own. However, by doing so, you may risk losing out on money that you need to cover the costs of your cumulative losses.
