Personal injury is harm that is caused to human beings rather than property.
It can either be psychological or physical harm, illness or disease.
There are some injuries that can leave a person incapacitated or even result in death.
Examples of such include: injury caused when you are working, stress caused by the workload or situations at the work place, injuries caused by defective services or goods, injury caused when you trip over stones and fall, a psychological condition that can be caused by abuse when you were a child, injuries caused by hospital neglect among others.
When you suffer from these or want to get justice for a person who died because of these injuries, you need to consider whether you want to make a complaint especially when the injury was caused by a third party.
You should also consider if you want to get compensation for the injuries you suffered from.
The injuries have to be evaluated to find out if there is any emergency financial aid that is needed to cover the losses and damages that occurred.
The injured individual may also need to seek counseling to get over the situation.
When personal injury happens, there are a few steps of action that are taken such as notification of the police; this is especially if the injuries were caused by auto accidents.
The police normally record statements and investigate the accidents to find out what caused the accidents.
These are very important for evidence when legal action is taken.
The accident should also be reported to the insurance company as most polices become invalid when the accidents are not reported.
The victim should ensure they visit a doctor even though they do not have visible injuries as they could be suffering from internal injury.
A medical report is one of the requirements needed in a court of law if you intend to get compensation.
You can also try to get evidence from the scene of the crime that can be used as evidence.
This includes pictures and contacts of witnesses.
If an accident happens at the work place, ensure it is entered in the accident book.
Give a summary of what happened and the injuries that occurred.
Make copies to send to the employers and others you will remain with.
If self employed, some injuries have to be reported to the local authority health department or the health and safety executive.
It is the employers' responsibility to come up with an explanation of the events that lead to personal injury and make an apology.
However, if you want to get compensation there are a few organizations you can forward the complaints to such as government offices, local authorities, employers, police, hospital and schools.
Some of the ways to get compensation are through: the use of claim assessor, taking legal action from civil courts, filing claims with the criminal injuries compensation authorities or via criminal compensation order and through government schemes that have been set aside to deal with special cases of loses and injuries.
You can either file for special or general damages.
