Physical Injuries

Physical injuries can happen in a great variety of circumstances. When physical injuries are the consequence of another person's or company’s recklessness, negligence, or intentional harm, the injured person may have a valid legal claim for compensation to recover the costs of the injury, including:

• medical bills
• rehabilitation costs
• home/nursing care
• loss of income (present and future)
• loss of physical abilities
• job retraining

Liability for Physical Injuries

The liability for an individual’s physical injuries may lie with another person such as a motorist, a professional such as a physician or midwife, a company such as a retail store, or a government entity such as a city or law enforcement agency. The defendant party in a legal action for physical injuries may be held legally responsible to compensate the injured party (plaintiff) for his or her losses. Typical physical injuries for which compensation may be obtained include:

• broken bones, torn ligaments
• spinal cord, brain, and neck and back injuries
• burns
• internal organ damage
• blindness
• loss of movement/paralysis
• dog bite damage

No matter what the type of physical injury, individuals have a legal right to seek compensation for physical injuries caused by another party. It is best to act sooner than later, in part because the statutes of limitations (legal deadlines) may prevent later action.

Even If You Share the Responsibility

If you’ve suffered physical injuries because of a car accidents, medical malpractice, a boating or airplane disaster, workplace accident, dog bite, defective product, a fire or mishap on public property, or similar circumstance, you may be eligible for financial compensation, even if you share some of the responsibility for the event that caused your injuries.
