Personal Injury

Personal Injury is a term commonly used in legal arenas to describe the injury to a persons' physical , mental and emotional being.

The most common types of personal injury are :

  • Motor Vehicle accident
  • Work-based accident
  • Accident in the home
  • Assault
  • Accident due to product defect
  • Holiday accident

Medical personal injury is one where there are numerous cases bought to the court each year, this incorporates dental and medical where there can be proven negligence resulting in injury to the patient.

Industrial diseases are also listed under the “medical” heading and can include conditions such as:

  • Occupational hearing loss
  • Asbestosis
  • Emphysema
  • Chronic obstructive airways disease
  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
  • Chronic Bronchitis
  • Asthma
  • Occupational stress
  • Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) and
  • Contact dermatitis

If negligence can be proved then the injured party may be entitled to compensation after a case has been heard. A large number of legal representation is done on a “no win, no fee” basis as these are often drawn out legal battles where the cost would be far too high for the average person to continue and the need for legal representation is absolute given the time that is required and the information that must be presented. A lawyer can assist a client/patient in proving negligence for cases such as medical malpractice, car accident, industrial accident, assault and the effects of those accidents not just physically but mentally or emotionally on the client/patient also.

In some countries there is a system in place for Accident Compensation which covers both the parties and should an accident/injury occur, the affected party is able to receive a “benefit” whilst unable to work and the offending party are investigated and/or charged by the governing body. This reduces if not completely ends, the legal process of sueing for damages.

In the United States, there are more medical negligence cases than any other relating to personal injury and legal representation is expensive but the rewards of winning the case for both client and lawyer are extremely high, there has also been cases bought by multiple numbers against companies or medical practitioners who have caused personal injury to their patient or client – these are referred to as “class action”.

If you feel that you have suffered personal injury at the hands of someone other than yourself then you need to seek legal advice from someone who specialises in Personal Injury cases – these lawyers are knowledgeable in the area of law or tort law and know fully the rights and responsibilities of proceeding with a negligence claim in court. You can find them easily by looking up the term Personal Injury Lawyer on the internet or by speaking to your local law firm to see if they have a member who specialises in this type of law.
