While automobile accidents are the most prevalent source of personal injury, numerous other causes also result in severe injury or death, including accidents in the workplace, accidental slip and fall, animal bites, hazardous property conditions, toxic substances, medical negligence, side effects from pharmaceutical drugs, dangerous products, and so on. Damages with which victims of personal injury must contend include physical pain, emotional anguish, expensive medical bills and lost wages.

 

Compensation in Personal Injury Cases

The objective of a personal injury, slip and fall or medical malpractice case is to recoup compensation for damages sustained so the injured party can recover and return to a normal life. However, in cases involving catastrophic injury (brain damage, paraplegia, coma, etc.) severe injuries may be permanent, and therefore restoring the injured person to a healthy condition and resuming his or her previous lifestyle becomes impossible. In such instances, the claim will be structured toward recovery of compensation to cover the extremely high costs of hospitalization, rehabilitation, long-term health care, modification of the home and vehicles (to accommodate the handicapped individual), and to pay for caregiver assistance.
