The Most Common Personal Injuries 

Personal injury accidents can range from minor fender bender car accidents to catastrophic events. These accidents can leave victims with a wide variety of injuries. Generally, people know that physical injuries are considered personal injuries. However, a person can also file a personal injury claim for mental injuries. Below is a list of common physical and mental personal injuries.

Physical Personal Injuries

Physical injuries suffered by victims can range drastically in severity.

  • Head injuries or traumatic brain injuries
  • Back, neck, spine injuries
  • Whiplash
  • Soft tissue injuries
  • Cuts and lacerations
  • Burns
  • Loss of limbs
  • Sprains
  • Crushed limbs
  • Broken or fractured bones
  • Internal bleeding
  • Death 

A personal injury lawyer can help you pursue financial compensation for any injuries you sustained because of someone’s negligence. 

Mental Personal Injuries

Emotional distress is one of the main categories for non-economic damages. Emotional distress refers to the victim’s emotional response to the accident and injuries. Several emotional, mental, and psychological damages can fall under this category. 

  • Diminished quality of life
  • Anxiety or depression 
  • PTSD
  • Loss of sleep
  • Anger or frustration
  • Developed phobias connected to the accident

Non-physical results of the accident or injury can potentially fall under the umbrella of pain and suffering damages.  

The Most Common Types of Personal Injury Accidents 

A personal injury accident occurs when the victim is injured due to actions or inactions of another person or entity. The most common types of personal injury accidents are listed below. 

  • Motor Vehicle Accident: Motor vehicle accidents may involve a car, truck, or motorcycle. They are often caused by distracted drivers, fatigued drivers, and reckless drivers.
  • Workplace Accident: These types of accidents aren’t limited to high-risk jobs such as construction. The negligent actions of an employer or company can lead to severe accidents.
  • Slip-and-Fall Accidents: Failing to block off a dangerous area or forgetting to put up a sign can cause a slip-and-fall accident that results in life-altering injuries for the victim.

If you have been involved in any of these accidents, a South San Francisco personal injury can help you receive the fair compensation owed to you for any potential losses you have suffered.

Potential Damages You Can Collect from a Personal Injury Claim

A person who’s been injured by someone else’s actions or inactions and can prove negligence has a right to collect financial compensation in the form of damages. Potential damages they can collect include:

  • Medical Expenses: Whether a victim has a long road to recovery or not, medical bills are costly. Victims deserve compensation to cover any cost associated with their recovery and treatments.
  • Lost Wages: After an accident, the victim may be unable or have limited capacity to work. Not working or limiting their work hours means they lose the wages they could have earned. Victims should be compensated for the pay they will lose due to their injury.
  • Property Damage: Property damaged because of an accident should be covered by the at-fault party. They will compensate the victim for any repairs or replacements. 
  • Pain and Suffering: Victims often endure a great deal of physical, mental, and emotional pain after an accident. They deserve to collect damages for their pain.

If you are unsure of what damages you are entitled to collect, work with an experienced attorney that can help you go over the details of your claim.

Frequently
Asked Questions

If you, a family member or a friend has suffered a personal injury, contact us today at 310-356-0023 for a free case evaluation. Our experienced team can evaluate the facts of your case, discuss the viable avenues for compensation recovery, and serve as your counsel throughout the personal injury claims process.

We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing upfront and owe no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. This is our “No Recovery, No Fee” promise. Our fee comes as a percentage of the final settlement or verdict, so there is no financial risk in speaking with us about your case.

In most California personal injury cases, you have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. If your claim is against a government entity, the deadline is much shorter, as you generally have only six months to file a formal claim. Because these deadlines can affect your ability to recover anything, it is best to reach out to us as soon as possible.

California follows a pure comparative fault rule, which means you can still recover compensation even if you were partly responsible for what happened. Your award is simply reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found 20 percent at fault, you can still recover 80 percent of your damages.

We represent people across California in a wide range of personal injury matters. Our work covers motor vehicle accidents, including car, truck, motorcycle, rideshare, bicycle, pedestrian, bus, and electric scooter cases, as well as premises liability claims, such as slip-and-fall and dog-bite incidents. We also handle construction and workplace accidents, wrongful death, catastrophic injury, and insurance bad faith cases.

The value of a case depends on factors like the severity of your injuries, your medical expenses, lost wages, future care needs, and the impact on your daily life. No two cases are the same, so an honest valuation requires a careful review of your specific situation. During a free consultation, we can discuss the details and give you a clearer picture of what your claim may be worth.

Insurance companies often aim to settle claims quickly and for as little as possible. Having an attorney levels the playing field by handling negotiations, gathering evidence, and protecting you from tactics designed to reduce your payout. With more than 60 years of combined experience and over $250 million recovered for our clients, we know how to pursue the full value of a claim.

Your health comes first, so seek medical attention even if your injuries seem minor. After that, try to document the scene with photos, gather contact information from any witnesses, and keep records of your medical care and expenses. Avoid giving recorded statements to the other party’s insurer until you have spoken with us.

Yes, we provide bilingual services in both English and Spanish so that language is never a barrier to getting help. Our team is proud to serve California’s diverse communities from our eight office locations.
