Personal injury covers any wrong or damage done to another in his person, property, rights, or reputation. Injuries can happen at work, in a traffic accident, because of a faulty product or a faulty repair, because of a mistake during medical treatment, or because you slipped and fell on pavement or on a wet floor. The injury can be physical or psychological, but, to have a case, it must occur due to the negligence or unreasonably unsafe actions of your employer, a manufacturer, your doctor, your landlord, or some other person or organization who owes you a duty of ordinary care. Examples of personal injury law causes of action include professional malpractice, wrongful birth, wrongful death, libel or slander, trespass, and nuisance.
If you think you may have a personal injury case, please contact a personal injury lawyer or personal injury attorney.

| I want to know what compensation you seek fit in my lawsuit. Sprained ankle,which turned into RSD, |
| I was in Jamaica at a Jamaican owned resort , playing beach volleyball. Unaware that under the sand( a short inch or so) was a huge boulder in which I slipped/sprained ankle (severely tearing ligaments) which in then (from trauma) turned into RSD. (reflexive sympathetic dystrophy). That was in 2009. To date I still walk with limp and experience daily chronic pain. I have a lawyer in Jamaica working on case now, but was curious the amount of money sought fit for pain/suffering. Since there is no cure for RSD, I''m only 33, and will have this for rest of my life. My career had to change due to it, lifestyle, hobbies/sports activities had to cease, even simple things like wearing a closed shoe I could no longer wear. I suffer on a daily basis & am on pain meds to help ease the pain (and will be for rest of my life). My medical damages are close to about $30,000, but since this is for life, the medical bills will only continue, as will the pain/ suffering. How much should I be awarded? |
| Why is my lawyer telling me i need to go to court after the very first insurance offer was very low? |
| I was in a car accident on apirl 1st, 2011 in jacksonville, flordia when a driver rear ended me while i was stopped at a traffic light. I had $416.23 of car damage, and the driver is claiming $21.40 even though the side of his front bumper popped off, which on the accident report the police officer noted $400 dollars of damage for his car. There was no photos. Because of this his insurance is claiming this minor impact could not have caused a permanent impairment. which a doctor gave me of 5%. I have $10,811.32 dollars worth of medical expenses, and still suffer from lower back and side hip pain. The insurance company is offering $1,312. My current laywer is stating that they need to refer me to a new laywer to take my case to court. Is going to court the only reasonable way? |
