Getting Injured in a Collision

A personal injury occurs when a person suffers any kind of physical, emotional, or psychological injury.

The term “personal injury” covers a wide range of cases that occur from traffic collisions just as what happened in the 101 Freeway crash, assaults, slip and fall accidents, injuries from defective products or machinery, and more cases.

When the involved individual/ suspect failed to meet their duty of care, unexpected and unnecessary personal injuries can take place.

Damages from a personal injury lawsuit range from emotional trauma, physical and mental disability, pain and suffering, disfigurement, bodily injuries, and a range of financial losses.

Consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer at Sweet Lawyers if you suffered injuries due to someone else’s negligence.
