Personal injuries can range from broken bones to the most devastating and life-changing of injuries. Common types of personal injury include:
- Brain injury
- Spinal cord injury
- Head injury
- Neck injury
- Back injury
- Paralysis
- Amputation
- Blindness
- Burns
In addition to these physical injuries, personal injury cases sometimes include emotional or mental harm. When you are facing missed work, lost income, and physical pain or disfigurement, you may also suffer depression, anxiety, emotional distress and mental anguish.
When caused by someone else’s negligence, these injuries can become the grounds for a personal injury claim. Common sources of personal injury include:
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Premises liability
- Medical malpractice
- Workplace accidents
- Defective products
- Nursing home abuse
- Animal bites
After suffering because of someone else’s actions – or failure to act – you deserve.
