HomeInsurance and claimPersonal Injury Claims - Types of Personal Injuries

Personal injury is a vast topic with hundreds of titles listed below it. It is very vague, simply because it is nearly impossible to predict what kind of injury any given accident may cause, as it is nearly impossible to predict how a person will react during that accident. There is no definition as to what can be treated as a personal injury and what cannot. A guilty or not guilty verdict in a personal injury lawsuit is determined merely by the circumstances surrounding the accident itself and what caused it.

Common Personal Injuries

The most common injury behind most personal injury lawsuits is slip-and-fall injuries. These usually occur at the negligence of another person from failing to keep an area clean and free of debris or slippery substances. The most common causes of slip-and-fall cases are snow and ice and failure to clean wet floors properly – both completely preventable. Injuries caused by slip-and-fall accidents are often listed individually when determining compensation in a personal injury lawsuit.

Head Injuries

Head injuries are common in personal injury claims. At times, shelves can be poorly placed or improperly secured, resulting in head injuries from bumping the top of the head or from a shelf or other item falling from its place. Head injuries caused from slip-and-fall accidents can also be added to a list of injury compensation in a slip-and-fall case. Motor vehicle accident claims also often include head injuries.

Broken Bones in Body

Broken bones are another common type of personal injury. These are also often associated with slip-and-fall accidents and occur in instances where heavy equipment is involved in accidents. Some cases involving broken bones may stem from causes such as fistfights or more obscure occurrences. Another common cause of broken bone claims is far accidents.

Soft Tissue Damage

Soft tissue damage, such as internal bruising or whiplash, is just as dangerous as hard tissue damage like broken bones or concussions. Internal bleeding is harder to determine the severity of and more difficult to control. Whiplash can have detrimental, lifelong effects on a person’s mobility of their neck. Soft tissue damage can also lay on major organs like the kidneys, stomach, intestines, lungs, and heart, affecting a person for the rest of their lives.

No matter what kind of injury, if it was caused by the negligence or fault of another person or business, it may be worth speaking to a qualified and experienced personal injury lawyer about. While it may seem far fetched, personal injury lawyers are trained to use the evidence at hand in combination with the area’s laws to find a reasonable outcome for their clients.
