What is Personal Injury?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia, says in a report that it uses the word “accident” to mean “an unintentional injury death or an unintentional nonfatal event.” The CDC goes on to say, “The word is used sparingly because of its history of being considered by some to be inappropriate to describe events that are preventable.” Indeed, not every event that results in personal injury or death is an accident. Many are the product of recklessness or negligence; some are intentional. Personal injuries are often preventable. When a person suffers pain and loss because of another party’s improper action (recklessness) or lack of action (negligence), they should consult a pedestrian accident lawyer. Such a lawyer can assist in ensuring the injured person is compensated for the expenses and pain their injury causes.
Personal Injury Claims
The statistics for personal injuries in the United States are staggering. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta says that in 2010 there were 42.4 million visits to emergency rooms for injuries. When visits to physician offices, hospital outpatient and emergency departments for injuries are combined, the annual number of injuries jumps to 80 million.
Personal injuries happen every day and in every situation – on the road, at work, at home, and in the hospital, grocery store or shopping mall. An accident can result in a variety of catastrophic injuries, including, but certainly not limited to, neck, back or spinal cord injury; traumatic brain injury (TBI); paralysis; severe burns; or loss of limb(s), i.e., amputation. What some don’t realize is that the injury a person suffers, such as in a burn injury lawsuit, produces not just physical harm but psychological and financial injury as well. Recovery from a serious personal injury is a trial of pain, suffering and expenses. An injured person might recover over a period of weeks, months or longer while not being able to work to pay for such expenses as primary medical care, medicine, therapy and rehabilitation, in-home care, a wheelchair, and property damage, such as to repair or replace a car after a wreck. In cases especially concerning road incidents, having a truck accident lawyer can be invaluable in navigating the complexities of such situations.
Georgia law provides for personal injury lawsuits as a mechanism for relief to those hurt by the recklessness or negligence of others. Such legal claims are meant to make the victim whole again financially. This is where an experienced injury lawyer like those at the Mann Law Firm can help. People who are injured by others deserve to be compensated for their losses, but aggressive legal help is usually required to realize that goal.
