Personal injury occurs when physical or
psychological injury is sustained due to accident or medical
malpractice. Auto accidents, injuries sustained on the
job, assaults, accidents in the home, tripping accidents,
and medical / dental accidents all fall within the realm of
personal injury. There are also numerous types of
conditions that can be classified as industrial
diseases because they result from occupational hazards --
these include mesothelioma, emphysema, silicosis,
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, repetition strain,
and occupational deafness, just to name a few.
Compensation may be available through
litigation if the accident was someone else's fault or
caused by someone else's negligence. For example, a
driver who fails to stop at a red light is negligent because
it is reasonable and expected that all drivers stop at red
lights. If a person is injured because of this type of
negligence, damages may sought against the driver.
Extreme emotional distress, verbal abuse, or psychological
injury may form the basis of personal injury litigation.
Damages for wrongful death can also be sought by surviving
family members in instances where there are no criminal
findings. The legalities of this type of case are
extremely complex and often controversial, but substantial
monetary damages are sometimes awarded in these types of
personal injury cases.
When litigation appears unreasonably
expensive or difficult, mediation may be used to settle
personal injury cases. Uncertainty of outcome, high
legal costs, and a prolonged legal battle may make mediation
a much more attractive proposition to both sides than full
blown litigation.
