What Is a Personal Injury Claim?

Most personal injury claims are based on negligence, which can be defined as failure to exercise the level of care that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in the same or similar circumstances.

• Car accidents: When a 4,000-pound moving vehicle collides with another vehicle, the force of impact can cause serious injuries to occupants.
• Truck accidents: A large commercial truck can weigh 80,000 pounds or more when fully loaded. A collision with a big rig can cause catastrophic or fatal injuries to passenger vehicle occupants.
• Motorcycle accidents: Negligent drivers cause many motorcycle accidents. The majority of motorcycle fatalities in 2020 occurred on urban roads, as reported by the National Safety Council (NSC).
• Bicycle accidents: Although only 1% of all trips in the U.S. are on bicycles, cyclists account for more than 2% of all crash fatalities involving a motor vehicle on U.S. roads, as stated by CDC.
• Pedestrian accidents: Pedestrian motor vehicle crash deaths have increased by 59% since 2009, as reported by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
• Electric vehicle battery fires: Electric cars that use rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are becoming more popular throughout the country. These batteries can sometimes burst into flames, causing severe burn injuries to occupants.
• Wrongful death: When a person dies through someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing, the deceased person’s spouse, children, or parents may file a wrongful death claim for compensation. If they fail to file within three calendar months from the date of death, the executor or administrator of the deceased may file a lawsuit.
