A personal injury occurs when a person has suffered some form of accident or injury, either physical or psychological, as the result of an accident or medical malpractice
The most common type of personal injury claims result from road traffic accidents, accidents at work, tripping accidents in the street or at home, assault claims, accidents in the home, accidents resulting from defective products and holiday accidents. Indeed, there are a multitude of different types of accidents and personal injury claims that also include those arising from medical and dental practice accidents (which lead to numerous medical and dental negligence claims every year), and industrial disease cases
Industrial disease cases include asbestosis and mesothelioma, chest diseases (e.g. emphysema, pneumoconiosis, silicosis, chronic bronchitis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and chronic obstructive airways disease), vibration white finger, occupational deafness, occupational stress, contact dermititus and repetitive strain injury cases
Where the accident was the fault of someone else, the injured party will be entitled to monetary compensation
In England and Wales, under the limitation rules, where an individual is bringing a claim for compensation, court proceedings must be commenced within 3 years of the date of the accident, failing which the claimant will lose the right to bring their claim. However, if the injured party was under the age of 18 at the time of the accident, then they have up until the day prior to their 21st birthday to commence proceedings
