What is a personal injury? A personal injury occurs anytime someone is injured physically or emotionally by the careless act of someone else. Personal injuries can result from a car accident, slip and fall, workplace accidents, defective products, unsafe drugs or medical mistakes. If you have suffered a personal injury, you might be entitled to compensation for your damages which can include pain and suffering, medical expenses, loss wages, property damage, and emotional distress.
What should I do if I am injured? First, seek proper medical attention if you are injured. Once you are able, write down the details of the accident, including: What happened? When did it happen? Where did it happen? and How did it happen? Record the details of your pain in a notebook, including severity, intensity, and date. Also, note any professional and/or domestic activities you are no longer able to perform or perform with great difficulty because of your injuries. Save all evidence, including any products or objects which may have caused the accident, witness names, receipts, and take pictures of property damage or injuries. Consult with an attorney as soon as possible to preserve your legal rights.
