Every year millions of Americans get injured in various accidents. However, most of these people do not require a lawyer since the accident could not have been prevented or that the injured was the only one responsible it. The law defines ‘personal injury’ as the damage or hurt done to a person physically & mentally. This does not include the damage done to their property but the injured can file a lawsuit against the person inflicting the injury and make claims before the law.
Lawyers mostly divide lawsuits of personal injury into 4 categories— product liability, medical malpractices, car accidents and all others are added to the personal injury section. The damages done by the injury too are segregated into three types, bodily/physical damages, IIED (intentional infliction of Emotional Distress) & NIED (Negligent Infliction of emotional distress). Depending upon whether there was intent on negligence on part of the responsible party, the injured is lawfully entitled to get full monetary compensation either through judgment in court or a settlement.
These injuries can happen with anyone at anytime and includes accidents at the workplace, in traffic, home, during holidays, on a cruise and due to defects in a product.
