Personal Injury Claims: Understanding the Process

An accident can result in a wide range of physical injuries, ranging from minor to severe, temporary or permanent, and total and partial, depending on your ability to work or care for yourself after the accident. Personal injuries can include:

  • Back, spinal cord, or lumbar injury
  • Brain injury
  • Lacerations
  • Broken or fractured bones
  • Burns
  • And others

Personal injury law, or tort law, is a section of civil law aimed at defending you when your person or property is harmed by someone else’s action, or worse still, inaction. Personal injury law is all about negligence and damages: to make a successful claim, you need to establish that the other party acted negligently, causing you to suffer damages.

Is filing a claim helpful to you? When you are injured by a third party, you are entitled to economic damages from the at-fault party. Compensation for personal injury claims is determined by the damages suffered.

In the past, personal injury litigants have been successful in obtaining compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. These may include:

  • Temporary or permanent disability 
  • Property damages
  • Suffering and pain
  • Loss of income
  • Medical bills, including emergency fees and bills for ongoing treatment 
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Compensation for punitive damages

The value of your personal injury claim can be difficult to estimate in many cases. Your doctor’s advice will not only help you recover from your injuries, but also assist you in estimating medical expenses. Make your claim stronger by engaging a highly experienced personal injury lawyer to undertake civil discovery based on the cost of treatment.
