If another person has caused an injury to you through negligence or intentional misconduct, you very likely have a personal injury case.

While many people think that personal injuries only involve physical injuries, non-physical injuries also qualify. Regardless of what kind of injury you have sustained, you are eligible for damages, or monetary compensation, for your injuries. From medical expenses and lost wages to compensation for pain and suffering or reduced quality of life, there are many types of damages you may qualify for.

Below, you’ll learn about the many types of personal injuries so you can get a clearer understanding of your case and the compensation you may be eligible for.

Personal Injuries Categorized by Cause

When a personal injury case is discussed, it is usually identified by its cause. Common causes of personal injuries include car, truck and motorcycle accidents, slip and falls, pedestrian and cyclist accidents, and medical malpractice.

Personal Injuries Categorized by Type

Personal injury lawsuits can also be categorized by the type of injury that was caused. Simply knowing what type of injury you have sustained can help you find legal help more easily. Many lawyers have expertise in specific types of injuries, so searching for a lawyer in this way can save you time.

Some common injury classifications include:
• Brain injury
• Wrongful death
• Spinal cord injury
• Burn injury
• Amputation injury

If you’ve sustained one of the injury types above, it’s essential to work with a lawyer who has expertise in this type of injury.

Personal Injuries Categorized by Negligence or Strict Liability

The vast majority of personal injury lawsuits hinge on negligence, or the accusation that the injuries sustained were due to another person’s inaction or deliberate action. Some personal injury cases, however, depend on strict liability. In these types of cases, even if the party that caused the injury was not negligent, they can still be held responsible. Common examples of strict liability cases include dog bites and product liability.

If you believe you have a strict liability case, it is essential to choose a lawyer who has experience with these types of lawsuits.

Once you have determined how to categorize your personal injury, it should be easier to find a lawyer. Even if you are uncertain as to whether you have a case, you should contact a personal injury lawyer for a consultation, which is typically free. There are time limits in place that establish how long you have to file your claim, so it’s important to contact a lawyer as soon as possible after your injury.

If you’ve been injured in an accident, book a free consultation with a personal injury lawyer today to learn more about your rights.

What They Say About Us

Ayodeji Osikoya

My wife and I were involved in an accident in 2023, and we were fortunate to have HIMPRO Personal Injury and Long-Term Disability Lawyers represent us. From day one, their team showed outstanding professionalism, compassion, and dedication.

We especially want to thank David, Alex, and Mena for their incredible support throughout the process. They were always available to answer our questions, kept us informed at every stage, and genuinely cared about our well-being. Their guidance made a stressful time much easier for us to handle.

Thanks to their hard work and expertise, we achieved a great outcome, and they are still working diligently to obtain additional compensation from the insurance company and pursue the catastrophic designation for my wife.

We are deeply grateful for everything the HIMPRO team has done for us. If you ever need experienced, trustworthy, and compassionate lawyers who will truly fight for you, we highly recommend HIMPRO.

A Magician , Passionate and Tough Negotiator: David Himelfarb proves what he told me in the first meeting on my MVA case. I fully endorsed David to anyone looking for a sincere and results oriented personal injury lawyer.

Angelo Mazzotta

After a serious MVA, where I was stopped making a left turn and was hit from behind by a fast moving vehicle. I was not able to carry on with my life as I had before the accident. David Himelfarb took on responsibility of my case personally. We developed a relationship based on trust and understanding. He acknowledged my pain, my frustration, my concern and my expectations. His years of expert lawyering were very evident almost immediately. He never disregarded my expectations but rather he empathized with me and told me where exactly they fit within the reality of the ontario justice system. His assistant Mena Brar was also a very welcomed addition to my case and my life for that matter. David and his team worked very hard for me. My case was not an easy one but in the end, I was pleased with the outcome. David’s knowledge, advice and direction were pretty much bang on. I am probably not the easiest person to please especially when I am wronged as I was. I highly recommend David’s firm and appreciate all he and his team did. I believe David to be a very honest and knowledgeable man. Trustworthy is a very good description of David from where I stand. Thank you for all you and your team did for me David.
