Joplin Personal Injury Attorney

Defined as an injury to the mind, body or emotions of an individual, the term “personal injury” is used in the legal industry to best describe the potential result of negligent actions made towards another person or persons.

With more than 32 MILLION individuals in the United States having suffered a personal injury of some nature throughout 2011, there can be many different sources that can cause a serious injury – many of which can lead to life changing consequences to not only the injury victim, but also to the families and dependents of that person.

If you or someone you love has become the victim of a personal injury, that person may be eligible to receive compensation for those injuries – which  can also include provisions for any costs associated with the repair and recovery of any damages caused.

Common Personal Injury Types

In most personal injury cases, there are three primary areas that an injury can be classified under.

This list consists of:

Physical Wound – A physical wound is the actual physical manifestation of a personal injury. Some of the more-common injury types include:

• Concussions
• Lacerations
• Broken bones
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Whiplash
• Spinal cord damage
• Burns
• Facial and dental injuries

…. Amongst many others.

Financial Damages – While not a physical injury, the toll of the financial costs often associated with a personal injury can cause great damage to an individual, due to the additional stresses that can be placed on that person.

Some of the most common financial damages can include:

• Medical expenses
• Lost wages
• Lost opportunity
• Medication costs
• Outpatient treatment and care
• Vehicle repairs
• Rental car expenses
• Property repairs and replacement

…. Just to name a few.

 Emotion Injuries – In many cases, the mental effects of the injury can have long-lasting effects on the injury victim.

Some real world examples of an emotional injury may include:

• An inability to focus on a given task
• A lack of ability to socialize
• A loss of desire to participate in activities (work and social)

With all of these factors combined, many injury victims simply feel overwhelmed by their injuries and are often not sure what to do next – especially if insurance companies and other entities are harassing the victim, in an attempt to settle any pending claims.

Common Personal Injury Causes

There can be many different causes of a personal injury – at home, at work or when simply out enjoying life.

Some common causes can include:

• Automotive accidents
• Workplace injuries
• Slip and fall accidents
• Medication errors
• Medical malpractice
• Motorcycle wrecks
• Nursing home abuse
• Truck accidents
• Animal bites

…. And many others.

Due to the potentially serious consequences of an injury, it’s important for an injury victim to seek the services of a licensed medical practitioner for an examination of any damages that may have been sustained.
