Personal Injury Involves More than Just Physical Harm
Most people understand that personal injury accidents are accidents that cause physical harm. What many people don’t realize is that a personal injury accident often has a non-physical dimension, as well.

You do not have to be the victim of an accident or violence to suffer personal injury. Loss of companionship and emotional suffering are also considered in personal injury law cases. If someone you love has suffered from an accident or a violent crime, you may be entitled to damages for the grief and distress you have endured.
Personal Injuries Have Many Causes
Many personal injuries are unintentional accidents. For example, the slip and fall accident is the most common personal injury accident in the United States. Personal injury accidents can also be caused by negligence. One example of negligence is when a property owner fails to maintain a property in a manner that is safe for use.
Personal injuries can also be inflicted intentionally, as in a violent crime. Although the perpetrator will face criminal charges, the victim of a violent crime may be able to file a civil personal injury suit to recover medical expenses and some compensation for the emotional suffering caused by the assault.
Personal Injury Accidents: Medical Expenses Are Only a Fraction of the Costs
In 2006, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimated that the costs of personal injury top $400 billion every year. Only a fraction of those costs are the result of medical expenses. The bulk of the economic costs ($326 billion) result from lost wages and lowered productivity.
Although $400 billion is a staggering sum, the CDC figures do not include the non-monetary costs of personal injury accidents, such as pain and suffering or loss of affection. If such non-tangible damages as loss of solace or loss of companionship are factored in, the true cost of personal injuries could easily top a trillion dollars per year.
The CDC figures clearly demonstrate the need for victims of personal injury accidents to seek adequate compensation. If you have suffered a personal injury accident, or have been the victim of a violent crime, you may be entitled to recover damages above and beyond simple medical expenses.
