Types of Personal Injuries

Personal injuries are most often caused by auto accidents. Since there are so many types of vehicle accidents we have included them in a whole section of their own, but it is important to know that they are still personal injury cases.

Another category of personal injury includes catastrophic injuries, which can have devastating consequences for not only the injured party but also their loved ones. We handle all types of catastrophic personal injury cases, but the ones we see most are:

• Traumatic brain injury
• Spinal Cord injury
• Burn injury

Besides these main types of personal injuries, several other types of them exist including:

• Premises liability including slip and fall cases
• Defective products injury
• Medical malpractice
• Construction site accidents
• Pharmaceutical injury
• Wrongful death

Damages You May Collect

If you or a loved one has suffered an injury at the hands of someone else, you need to make sure that you are compensated for your suffering. The types of things you may collect damages for include:

• Disfiguring blemishes to your appearance
• Loss of enjoyment of activities in which you can no longer participate (hedonic damages)
• Lost wages
• Medical expenses
• Pain and suffering (both emotional and physical)
• Punitive damages (which are meant to punish as well as deter someone from causing a similar accident in the future)
