Types of Injuries for Which We Can Help You

Wednesday, December 22, 2010 by D. Michael Kelly

What is personal injury?

A personal injury is an injury to the body, mind, or emotions caused by the carelessness or negligence of another person, group, or institution. These personal injuries can range from a simple dog bite to emotional distress suffered on the job to ruining of someone’s reputation.

While the popular conception of personal injury cases usually involves an actual bodily injury, this area of law can cover many different types of injuries. And the effects of a personal injury can last far longer than the incident or episodes that led to the injury. The following are some possible consequences of a personal injury:

Lost wages due to physical or emotional trauma
Medical bills related to the treatment of physical injuries, ailments, or emotional disorders
Financial turmoil due to the death of a loved one
Loss of livelihood
Loss of property
Difficulty in obtaining employment
Defamation of character
Emotional loss due to the death of a loved one

Experienced Columbia personal injury attorneys can guide and advise you through every type of personal injury case. They will review your personal injury case, determine what you are entitled to under South Carolina or federal law, and advise you on a course of action that not only addresses your immediate concerns but also address issues that may arise years in advance.

If you have been physically or emotionally injured, skilled attorneys can pursue the negligent parties to ensure that your medical costs, property costs, and emotional distress are covered. If you are the victim of defamation or actions that may prevent you from working or pursuing a livelihood, they can help assess your case and recover damages to assist your financial situation.
