Personal Injury

A broad definition of "personal injury" includes both physical and psychological injuries as a result of an accident. The most common types of personal injury claims involve motor vehicle crashes, slip/trip and fall accidents, injuries caused by defective products (including pharmaceutical), and medical malpractice. Personal injury also include specific types of physical injury which are described in the following sections of our website: traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and wrongful death .

Traditional rules that apply to personal injuries caused by negligent or other wrongful conduct permit the injured party to make a claim for economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages include loss of income, loss of earning capacity and past and future medical expenses.  Non-economic damages include pain and suffering, loss of bodily function, loss of enjoyment of life and other losses involving the quality of life. Typically, a personal injury claim is satisfied by the payment of a sum from the responsible party's insurance company.

The vast majority of personal injury claims related to automobile accidents and slip/trip and fall accidents are resolved by settlement before trial. Personal injury claims involving defective products and medical malpractice are more likely to result in a trial. Regardless of the likelihood that a particular claim will result in a settlement or a trial, representation by lawyers who are recognized for skill in trial techniques and experience in the courtroom is very important; insurance companies and corporations will value a personal injury case with the identity of the lawyer in mind.
