Oklahoma Personal Injury Law Library TOPIC: Types of Personal Injury

Personal injury can result from any type of accident, ranging from something as minor as a scrape to something as serious as a brain injury. To collect damages in a personal injury lawsuit, you need to prove that your injury will have long-term physical and financial consequences. At Self & Associates, we are devoted to helping victims of serious and catastrophic injuries in Oklahoma recover damages for the full extent of their injuries.

Personal injury can occur in car wrecks, dangerous work environments, and poorly-maintained premises. Personal injury can also occur due to medical negligence and defective product manufacturing. Some examples of serious personal injury include:

• Head and brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Birth injuries
• Amputations
• Disfigurement
• Wrongful death

No matter what type of injury you sustain, if it will have a lasting impact on your ability to work and support yourself, or on your quality of life, you may have cause to file a personal injury lawsuit. When you work with our personal injury attorneys, all of your damages will be taken into consideration: medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional and physical pain and suffering. We will work tirelessly to help ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.

There are a number of personal injuries that can result from a range of accidents, due to another person’s negligence. Even a seemingly-minor accident can result in a serious injury or life-altering condition if it is not appropriately treated.

Even more devastating is that some victims who were injured because of another party’s carelessness or wrongdoing do not realize they may be eligible for compensation in a personal injury lawsuit.

Some of the most common personal injuries that can entitle Oklahoma City residents to compensation from the at-fault party include:

• Injuries resulting from slip-and-fall accidents: these injuries can range from broken bones to head injuries when a person slips and falls because of an individual’s or company’s negligence. A slip at a swimming pool, on an icy sidewalk or on a slick grocery store floor can result in a fractured leg, broken wrist or brain injury.

• Cuts, bruises, lacerations: These injuries commonly result from job-related accidents (especially at construction sites) or a trip-and-fall accident caused by factors such as cracked sidewalks, poor parking lot lighting, or the absence of construction signage.

• Broken bones: Fractures and broken bones are common injuries in car, truck and SUV accidents.
