Personal Injury

Personal injuries can result in major medical expenses. Having health insurance is important, and knowing your rights is sometimes more important. When someone else is at fault for your injury, your medical expenses may not be your responsibility. Your responsibility when you are injured includes:

receiving immediate medical treatment
keeping up-to-date and accurate records of
- when the injury occurred
- how it occurred
- the resulting injuries
- the medical treatment you received
- the costs involved
- your healing process

Taking this information to a personal injury attorney can help you determine if someone else is responsible for your medical bills.

Personal injuries can happen at work. These are workplace injuries. These include back injuries, knee injuries, brain injuries, burns, amputations, and much more. People who are most at risk for workplace injuries are construction workers, factory workers, oilrig workers (also see offshore injury), truck drivers, miners, manufacturers, warehouse employees, mechanics, and more.

Personal injuries can also happen as the result of:

car accidents
assaults
swimming pool incidents
slip and fall
bicycle accidents
amusement ride accidents
chemical spills
cruise ship accidents (see offshore injury)
medical complications

When people suffer personal injury because of medical malpractice, the illnesses and injuries they were trying to treat often get worse. This could lead to death. Medical malpractice occurs when doctors and hospitals act negligently, fail to diagnose illness or injury, misdiagnose, fail to treat the patient, amputate the wrong limb and knowingly use incorrect, faulty or out-dated equipment and methods. Personal injury can also occur during birthing or C-section complications, which can result in injuries to the baby and the mother, as well as lead to death. Dental, radiation, breast cancer, plastic surgery and pediatric malpractice are included in medical malpractice.

People can receive personal injuries from being abused as well. Physical, sexual and emotional abuse and neglect are unfortunately very common in the U.S. Elder abuse involves injury to an elder, and child abuse involves injury to a child. Adults can be abused as well.

Personal injury can also lead to wrongful death. If you or a loved one suffers from a personal injury, contact a personal injury attorney immediately.
