Here Are Some Types of Personal Injury Claims

It is important to know the kinds of accidents and mishaps that can be filed as a personal injury claim, if or when you are involved in one. Knowing the nuances of this legal field can help you get compensation for personal losses, and seek justice.

When it comes to personal injury law, the injured plaintiff can be reimbursed for losses if harmed by somebody’s negligence. Go through the most common types of personal injury claims.

Claim for – Car And Other Auto Passenger Accidents

If you are passenger in a vehicle involved in an auto accident, you are liable to make a claim against the driver.

Considering the nature of the accident—whether or not it was the fault of the driver, and your own compliance with rules of driving in an automobile at the time—will determine how you will be compensated for the losses. This type of claim should be filed to the police immediately following the accident, if possible.

Claim for – Hit And Run Accidents

Though most hit and run instances do not involve personal injury, some do, in which case the injured individual has the right to file a hit and run accident claim against the fled driver.

Claim for – Pedestrian Accidents

Though it is easy to assume that road accidents only involve vehicle and their riders, a number of these accident also involve pedestrians. As a pedestrian, you have a responsibility to protect yourself, following the rules of walking along the road. However, a driver also has a duty to adhere to pedestrian safety laws, and if their negligence causes an injury to you, you can file for a pedestrian accident claim.

Claim for – Workplace Accidents

From major construction sites to small offices, accidents can occur in any kind of workplace. If the trouble you went through was caused due to your organization’s negligence with regards to providing necessary information, or equipment that would have otherwise protected you, you can file for a work accident claim.

This will not only cover compensation for your injury, but also any medical treatment costs, paid leave for recovery, and other expenses.

Claim for – Slips And Trips

Understand that this type of claim covers slip and trip accidents at both workplace and any other public or private space, including private homes, shopping centres and even public pavements. Public and private property owners have a certain legal responsibility of keeping the space safe and incident-free.

However, the specifics of their legal duties, and the circumstances in which the accident occurred, will determine the outcome of the claim.
