What Is A Personal Injury Claim?
A personal injury claim may arise when you are injured by another person, company, or entity. In most cases, the injury is caused by an accident that is not your fault. However, you might still recover some compensation even if you are partially at fault for the accident that caused your injury. We discuss proving fault and liability in the section below entitled “The other party is denying liability for your injuries.”
Common examples of incidents that might give rise to a personal injury claim include:
- Car Accidents
- Motorcycle Accidents
- Wrongful Death Claims
- Workers’ Compensation Claims
- Truck Accidents
- Boating Accident
- Medical Malpractice Claims
- Nursing Home Abuse
- Premises Liability Claims
- Slip and Fall Accidents
- Dog Bite Injuries
- Pedestrian Accidents
- Drunk Driving Accidents
- Bicycle Accidents

However, that may not be in your best interest.
