What is a Personal Injury?  

A “personal injury” refers to an injury to a person’s body, mind or emotions, as opposed to an injury to property. It typically refers to physical or psychological harm that results from another person’s negligence, intentional misconduct or strict liability.  

Common examples of personal injury claims include car accidents, medical malpractice, slip-and-fall accidents, and workplace injuries. The goal of a personal injury claim is to compensate the victim for the harm that they have suffered, which can include compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.  

What Should I Do if I Have a Personal Injury?  

Here are some steps you can take to ensure you receive the best possible outcome:  

1. Seek medical attention: Your health and well-being should be your top priority. If your injury requires medical attention, go to the nearest hospital or doctor’s office as soon as possible.
2. Document the incident: Write down the details of the incident, including the date, time, location and any other relevant information. Also, take photos or videos of your injury and the scene of the incident.

    

3. Collect evidence: Gather any evidence related to the incident, such as witness statements, medical reports and receipts for any expenses related to the injury.

    

4. Report the incident: If the injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, it is important to report the incident to the appropriate authorities.

    

5. Contact a personal injury lawyer: An experienced personal injury lawyer can help you understand your legal rights and options and represent you in any legal proceedings related to your injury.

    

6. Keep track of expenses: Keep track of all expenses related to your injury, including medical bills, lost wages and any other costs.

    

Remember, it is important to act quickly after a personal injury to protect your rights and increase your chances of receiving compensation.
