What are the types of personal injuries I can get compensation for?

The list of personal injuries you can get compensation for includes broken bones, scarring, damaged organs, and lost limbs. As well as torn ligaments and tendons. In fact, any injury that causes physical pain, mental anguish, or emotional suffering. You can also claim if your injury led to your losing wages or not being able to work as you once did. An experienced personal injury lawyer will quickly be able to tell you if you have a valid claim.

What do I do if I get injured in an automobile accident?

If you get injured in an automobile accident, attend to your injuries first. Keep a record of what happens. Photos, recordings, diagrams, medical records, and receipts for the expenses can all be used as evidence should you choose to make a personal injury claim. You should also note down the names of anyone who witnessed the accident. Try to call a personal injury lawyer immediately after your accident. With their guidance, you will make a good job of gathering the evidence you need.

I was fine after the accident, but now I’m hurting -- can I still get compensated?

If you were fine after an accident and only realize that you have been hurt later, you can still be compensated. But there are time limits. For workers compensation claims it is 3 months and for car accidents 2 years. But you need to have reported the car accident to your insurance company within 7 days and notified the defendant within 120 days of the accident that you are seeking compensation. If you don´t you may not be able to claim. It is easy to make a mistake and end up trying to claim too late. So, speak to a personal injury lawyer.
