What Are Some Common Injuries That Give Rise to Personal Injury Claims?

On This Page

    Accidents can result in a wide variety of injuries. They range from minor to catastrophic. Catastrophic injuries are typically defined as sudden, life-altering injuries with long-term consequences.

    Common personal injury examples include:

    • Spinal cord injuries (SCIs)
    • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
    • Broken and fractured bones
    • Amputations
    • Burns and electrocutions
    • Facial and dental injuries
    • Internal bleeding and organ damage

    Even if you do not think your injuries are serious, you should still consult with a doctor as soon as possible after the accident. This is because some compensable injuries do not appear until after some time has passed after the accident. Visiting a doctor early on will ensure that none are overlooked.
