Oklahoma Personal Injury Law Library TOPIC: Types Personal Injury

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.
