There are many types of personal injuries. The most common claims result from traffic accidents, but they can also include tripping and falling, sports injuries, and injuries resulting from firearm and alcohol abuse. There are also personal injury claims filed for dental and medical malpractice. You might also have a personal injury claim if your unsafe working conditions have caused a chronic illness such as emphysema, asthma, occupational stress or a strain injury. If you have suffered a personal injury which was caused by someone else's negligence, an intentional wrong or by a company's defective product an attorney who specializes in personal injury law may be able to help answer your questions and file your personal injury case.
When do I have a personal injury?
A personal injury occurs when a person has been injured by another party and has suffered physical or mental distress. Every tort claim can be defined as either strict liability, an intentional wrong or negligence. A Tort is a term used in common law that can be a civil or criminal wrong. If you commit a tort and harm someone else's body or property, it can be grounds for a personal injury lawsuit.
