Personal Injury Claim

Personal Injury Claim

The term ‘personal injury claim’ is used to describe a broad range of injury and accident types that one might need to claim compensation for. It could refer to any physical injury sustained in the workplace, on the road, in a shop or in any public place. Personal injury also covers injuries or illnesses resulting from medical negligence in a hospital or industrial diseases such as asbestos related diseases. The injury does not necessarily have to be physical as psychological injuries are also covered provided that they meet all other criteria.

Who Can Make A Personal Injury Claim

Anyone who has sustained an injury or contracted an illness or disease as a result of another person’s negligence is entitled to file a personal injury case and claim for compensation.

As a victim of personal injury, you may have varied reasons for wanting to file a personal injury claim. One of the most common reasons is so you can be at least partly compensated for the pain and suffering which has been endured as a result of the personal injury.

When you are injured you may find that you need to take time off from work to recover. Claiming personal injury compensation, for instance in relation to a car accident claim, can ensure that you can afford to take the time you need to recover fully without having to worry about lost income.

Besides medical expenses, loss of income is the single biggest worrying factor for anyone who has suffered any injury. Getting reimbursed for the medical expenses and lost wages can at least help ease this overwhelming financial burden.

Another common reason for filing a personal injury claim could be to obtain a sense of justice, whether for yourself or a lost loved one. Winning a personal injury claim can sometimes make all the difference to you and your family. It can help everyone find much-needed closure and get on with the rest of your lives.

For others, filing for injury may not be about claiming compensation. They may choose this route in an attempt to make radical changes in existing procedures so that nobody else may have to go through the same painful experience.
