What Are Common Personal Injuries?

Personal injury accidents can cause a wide range of physical, emotional, and financial injuries. The most common types of personal injury cases involve motor vehicle collisions, slips and falls, medical malpractice claims, defective product liability lawsuits, and workplace injuries. In some cases, the accident may be caused by someone's negligence or reckless behavior; in other cases, it may be due to an act of nature or unavoidable circumstances. Regardless of how the accident occurred, victims often suffer from serious physical harm that requires extensive medical treatment as well as long-term care costs.

Common injuries suffered in personal injury accidents include:

• Traumatic brain injuries: These are caused by a blow or jolt to the head and can result in memory loss, confusion, loss of balance, dizziness, headaches, fatigue, and impaired speech.
• Spinal cord injuries: These occur when the spinal cord is damaged due to trauma and can cause paralysis below the injury site as well as chronic pain.
• Broken bones: Serious fractures that may require surgery or other medical intervention can lead to long-term disability and limitation of movement in extreme cases.
• Internal organ damage: Injuries that occur inside body cavities can be harder to detect but still have significant impacts on physical health such as internal bleeding or damage to organs like the liver or kidneys.
• Soft tissue damages: Sprains, strains, and contusions are common results of traumatic accidents which involve tearing of muscles, ligaments, and tendons accompanied by swelling and bruising around affected areas.
• Burns/Lacerations: chemical burns due to contact with corrosive materials as well as cuts from sharp objects commonly lead to disfiguring scarring along with intense pain depending on the severity of the wound.
• Emotional distress: Mental anguish resulting from shock, fear, humiliation, and depression are often suffered by victims of personal injury accidents.

Additionally, victims can experience significant emotional distress stemming from their experiences, which can lead to depression and anxiety disorders. Finally, economic losses such as lost wages during recovery or decreased earning capacity due to disability are also common results of personal injury accidents.
