Personal Injury
A personal injury occurs when a person suffers physical or psychological injury as a result of an accident. You were mistreated or misdiagnosed in a medical setting, or hit by a car. Perhaps you tripped and fell on a step that was in need of repair. A product malfunctioned and injured you.
The bottom line is this: whenever someone else’s carelessness, or even intentional behavior, led to your injury, you may be entitled to compensation for losses related to that injury.
Some of the most common accident claims involve traffic accidents, workplace accidents, at-home injuries, and medical malpractice. Other incidents that can fall within the realm of “personal injury” can include such things as false arrest, invasion of privacy, slander, libel, defamation or other harmful conduct. In order to pursue compensation for such an act, you must prove three things:
- You have a physical or psychological injury
- The party who is being sued was negligent
- Their negligence caused your injury
