PERSONAL INJURY

IN THE U.S., HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ARE PAID OUT EVERY YEAR BY INSURANCE COMPANIES, CORPORATIONS, AND GOVERNMENTS TO SETTLE PERSONAL INJURY/WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIMS.

Personal injuries can result in not only physical, emotional, and mental injuries to a person, but also potentially catastrophic financial hardships including medical bills, personal and living expenses and a permanent, disability condition. Not only can individuals seek personal injury claims for themselves, but claims can be filed on behalf of a family member. In order to be eligible for a personal injury claim, you must prove someone else is responsible for your or your family member’s injuries. This can be challenging and is often time consuming, especially when having to navigate insurance company red tape.

Some of the most common bodily-harm personal injury claims are:

• • Motor vehicle collisions
• • Workplace accidents
• • Assault
• • Product defect accidents
• • Medical malpractice
• • Nursing home abuse
• • Premise liability
• • Wrongful death
• • Toxic exposure (exposure to toxic chemicals or similar dangerous substances from pharmaceutical products, consumer products, the environment, or in the home or at work

Although most people think personal injury claims only pertain to physical injury, personal injury claims can also arise from non-bodily harm such as:

• • Intentional infliction of emotional distress
• • Defamation
• • False detention, arrest, or imprisonment
• • Malicious prosecution
• • Invasion of privacy
