Common Personal Injury Claims

Personal injury is defined as a negligent or reckless action or inaction that causes harm or damage to an individual. Every year, millions of people are harmed because of the choices others make, leading to the following types of personal injury claims:

• Car accidents
• Truck accidents
• Premises liability
• Dangerous or defective products
• Medical malpractice
• Construction accidents
• Sexual assault

It’s important to understand that no two cases are the same and that while a lot of personal injury claims are similar, there are nuances to each type of case. After your accident and before you do anything else, you should seek medical attention to ensure that your injuries are properly cared for. Even if your accident was minor or if you don’t believe you’ve been seriously harmed, there may be underlying injuries that you can’t see that may warrant you making a financial recovery.

Once you have been seen by a medical professional, you should reach out to a Camden personal injury lawyer to help you gather what you need to set your lawsuit in motion. An attorney from our office would be happy to sit with you and discuss the details of your specific situation, beginning with a free case review.

Expected Compensation for Your Personal Injury

As mentioned before, every case is unique, so it’s not possible to know how much you may receive in compensation for your injuries and damages until we start compiling your medical records and bills along with other documentation and calculating your losses. However, here are some of the most common financial and nonfinancial damages you may receive compensation for:

• Medical bills, both past and present
• Lost wages
• Disability
• Property damage
• Mental anguish
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

Even if your attorney has provided the documentation to secure compensation for you, there are certain circumstances that might affect how much you may receive. For example, New Jersey follows a no-fault system for car accidents, which means that except in certain circumstances, any claim relating to a vehicle collision must be made under the injured driver’s own insurance.

Your attorney will be able to help you determine if your case is one of the exceptions or if you can make a claim outside the no-fault system.

How a Camden Attorney Can Help Your Injury Case
