Personal injuries are bodily injuries that happen to an individual. If the bodily injury is the result of someone else’s wrongful or negligent act, a personal injury lawsuit can be pursued via litigation or negotiation. Responsibility for damages rests with the wrongdoer or their insurance company.

Some examples of situations that can lead to a personal injury claim include:

• Car and truck accidents.
• Falling or getting hurt on someone else’s property.
• Injuries received during surgery or other medical treatment, including the failure to properly diagnose a condition or illness.
• An assault or battery.
• Injuries caused by defective products. Construction defects.

These are some common examples of situations that can lead to personal injury claims. Each state has different laws relating to how long you have to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you miss that deadline, your case will be forever barred even if you have an excellent case.
