A personal injury accident claim can be filed if a person feels they have suffered an injury as a result of another person's actions, whether directly or indirectly. Cases that involve direct action include, but are not limited to, assaults, car crashed due to driver error, and medical mistakes that result in injury or death. Examples of indirect actions include manufacturer or designer error. Personal injury accident claims can include accidents that happen in the workplace, on public roadways, on private property and in medical settings. There are no maximums or minimums with regard to the size of a compensation award in a personal injury accident claim. Personal injury encompasses incidences of neglect, injury due to improper warning labels, defective products that have caused an injury, assaults and the inability to take reasonable precautions with injury resulting.
