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