A personal injury is any injury that results from the negligence of another party. Here are some examples of personal injuries:
- Traumatic brain injury, such as a skull fracture.
- Concussion
- Broken bones
- Burns
- Deep lacerations
- Soft tissue injuries, such as ligament tears
- Loss of limb
Even if you feel okay after an accident, always seek medical attention to see if you have any internal or hidden injuries. Sometimes these types of invisible injuries don’t manifest until days, weeks, or months after an accident. Make sure to see a doctor and keep all medical records.
