What is a personal injury?

One of the most common questions we get from potential clients is:

What constitutes a personal injury?

A personal injury can be mental, emotional, property damage, or physical injury and pain caused by another party’s negligence. This could include:

Because the nature and cause of personal injuries can vary, and be very confusing, we recommend seeing a medical doctor or a chiropractic doctor immediately before any discussion of fault or with insurance companies take place.

Pursuing a Personal Injury Claim

If a claim is pursued against the at-fault party, there are several items a lawyer must be able to prove against the at-fault party, such as was there a failure to meet a standard of care and did their negligence lead to the injury, what were the financial repercussions of the injuries, and what kind of pain an suffering did you endure?

From there, Capital Injury Law can work on a client’s behalf to seek economic damages for income loss, past and future medical costs, property damage and other financial setbacks due to the injury. There can also be non-economic damages from pain and suffering due to the injury, mental duress or disability.
