Common Injuries In Personal Injury Claims
A personal injury claim relies on the physical injury that you or a loved one received. From a car crash to a slip-and-fall to a dog bite, there are certain injuries that are normal occurrences, including:
- Broken bones: Possibly the most common injury from a car accident, they can take a significant amount of time to heal. They also can be extremely painful and even life threatening under certain conditions.
- Burns: Burns are some of the most complex injuries a person can receive. They range deeply in thickness and size. The more extensive the burns are, the more complicated and long lasting the treatment is.
- Puncture wounds: Puncture wounds can be any force that breaks the skin and enters the body. They can be caused by foreign objects in a car crash or dog bites. Often, punctures come with infection risks.
- Brain injuries: Brain trauma can lead to long-lasting effects that totally change how you interact with the world. The brain is a complex, difficult-to-heal and extremely important organ.
- Spinal cord injuries: Damage to a spinal cord can lead to paralysis and other nervous system issues. Lifelong treatment and complex outcomes are common.
A lawsuit would pursue monetary compensation for your injuries, but how much your injury is worth is difficult to answer. There is no single equation that approximates the cost of a broken bone when healing time and impact on a day-to-day experience varies so much between people.
