What Is A Personal Injury?

A Personal Injury is physical injury inflicted on a person’s body, as opposed to damage to property or reputation. Personal injury law involves injury which is caused accidentally by another’s failure to use reasonable care. The definition of reasonable care is determined on a case-by-case basis.  The most common types of personal injury claims are road traffic accidents, accidents at work, tripping accidents, assault claims, accidents in the home, and defective product accidents.

It is important to realize that Personal Injury compensations is not limited to your physical injuries but for pain and suffering, loss of wages and/or future earnings, past & future medical care bills, reimbursement for damage to or loss of use of property that occurred as a result of the injury, loss of consortium (loss of services of your spouse: income, companionship, child care, etc.) compensation for emotional distress and/or pain and suffering.  Protect your rights!  Call the Strauss Law Firm 24 Hour Help Line: 713-586-9200 today.
