What Constitutes a Personal Injury?

Personal injuries are defined as civil law cases where you are trying to obtain compensation for an injury you sustained to your person. These include (but are not limited to):

• Wrongful Death
• Dog Bites
• Product Liability
• Medical and Hospital Negligence
• Auto Accidents
• Truck Accidents
• Motorcycle Accidents

A personal injury need not only be physical. Psychological traumas are typically caused by an accident or incident that results in loss of property, injury, disfigurement, or amputation, or as a result of witnessing the injury or death of a loved one. It is the job of your personal injury attorney to prove that the person or business (company, hospital) responsible for the accident or incident that caused physical and/or psychological harm is legally liable. This requires the lawyer to establish negligence.

An example of clear negligence would be if the owner of a pit bull who knew the animal had a tendency to bite nevertheless allowed the dog to roam free in a park where people were present. Any person who was bitten by the dog would have a reasonable liability claim and could sue the dog owner for any resulting damages, pain and suffering, and any other legally allowed compensation.

The outcome of a personal injury lawsuit varies, depending upon the specifics of the case. In general, if you win, you can expect to receive one or more of the following:

• Monetary compensation for medical costs
• Coverage for lost wages and future earnings
• Payment for pain and suffering
• Punitive damages
