You may have grounds for a personal injury claim if you’ve been in an accident and sustained injuries. Personal injury refers to any physical or mental harm suffered by one person due to the actions—or inactions—of another. Personal injury lawyers are trained and qualified to represent these claims in court, helping clients secure compensation for their damages.

Types of Personal Injuries
Personal injury claims cover a wide range of scenarios, including injuries sustained in car accidents, workplace accidents, and other incidents caused by another party’s negligence. In all personal injury cases, the common thread is that the injured party was harmed due to someone else’s actions or failure to act responsibly. For a claim to be valid, there must be clear evidence that the other party was at fault, and the injured party is not at fault for the incident.
Common examples of personal injury cases include situations such as:
- Car Accidents: If a driver runs a red light and causes a collision that injures another person, the injured party may file a claim against the driver responsible.
- Workplace Accidents: If an employer fails to inspect equipment properly, and a faulty tool causes an injury, the injured worker may be entitled to compensation.
These are two examples where the injured person did not contribute to the cause of the accident, allowing them to seek compensation through a personal injury claim.
Types of Personal Injury Claims
The approach you take in filing a personal injury claim depends on the circumstances of the injury and the party at fault. There are two main types of personal injury claims:
- Formal Lawsuits: A formal lawsuit is a legal case initiated by the injured party (the plaintiff) through their attorney. This claim is typically directed at a specific individual, business, corporation, or government agency responsible for the injury. Formal lawsuits require the plaintiff to provide compelling proof of negligence or wrongdoing. Because these cases often proceed to civil court, the process can be more complex and involve a lengthy trial.
- Informal Settlements: Many personal injury cases are resolved through informal settlements rather than going to court. In an informal settlement, the injured party and the responsible party, often represented by an insurance company, negotiate a financial agreement to compensate the injured party for their losses. This process requires less documentation and formal procedures than a lawsuit, often leading to faster resolution.
