Personal injuries suffered by an individual due to the neglect or careless acts of another can sometimes carry stiff legal ramifications. A personal injury is any physical, mental or emotional injury inflicted on another whether intentional or unintentional. While there are no minimums or maximum award caps in a personal injury case, factors such as the severity of the injury, medical costs, financial loss and the extent of the liability of the defendant are all take under consideration by the courts. Personal injury legal counsel is available in any state in the Continental United States.
