What Is a Personal Injury?

A personal injury is any injury that is caused by another person or entity. Common personal injuries include car accidents, slip and falls, dog bites, defective products, and medical malpractice. Depending on the circumstances, you may be able to file a personal injury claim if you have been injured in a car accident, a dog bite attack, a defective product, a slip and fall, or medical malpractice.

What Is a Personal Injury Claim?

A personal injury claim is a civil lawsuit that is filed by an injured person or the family of a deceased person against the party responsible for the injury. The goal of a personal injury claim is to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

Examples of recoverable damages in a personal injury claim include:

• Medical expenses, such as emergency room visits, surgeries, and ongoing treatments
• Lost wages, including missed work and a reduction in future earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Punitive damages, which are designed to punish the wrongdoer

The party responsible for the injury may be an individual, a corporation, or the government. If a government agency is at fault, your claim will be against the government's insurance company.

Why Hire a Personal Injury Attorney?
