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.

I had a very positive experience working with David, Alex, and their team throughout my settlement process. Alex was professional, responsive, and helpful in guiding me through the preparation and administrative aspects of the case. Communication was smooth, and the process was handled efficiently from start to finish. David’s experience and professionalism were especially evident during the settlement stage. He took the time to explain matters clearly, answered my questions thoroughly, and worked hard to advocate for my interests throughout the process. I am grateful for their assistance and support, and I am very satisfied with the outcome. I would confidently recommend their firm to anyone seeking legal representation.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — Himelfarb Proszanski (HimPro) I came to HimPro after being wrongfully cut off my Long Term Disability benefits by Sun Life Financial — one of the most stressful and overwhelming experiences of my life. From the moment I signed my retainer, I felt like I actually had people in my corner. David Himelfarb is the real deal. His experience and strategic clarity gave me confidence at every stage. He told me the truth — even when it was hard to hear — and that honesty is what helped me make good decisions, including accepting the mediation outcome. He never oversold anything and he never let me down. Mena Brar was absolutely exceptional. She handled my documentation with professionalism, patience, and precision. I had an enormous amount of paperwork and she kept everything organized and on track. She genuinely cared about the outcome and it showed in every interaction. Selene — incredible communication and follow-through. Always responsive, always on point. She made sure I was never left in the dark. This team went up against a major insurance company and a complicated situation that they made easy they delivered. If you're dealing with a disability claim denial in Ontario, don't wait — call HimPro. I'm grateful to all three of them. — Ellis St. Croix

Dear David, I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you — sincerely, and from the deepest part of my heart. When I came to you, I was worn down. The longest year of fighting a system that seemed designed to make people quit had taken everything out of me. I had the truth on my side, but I didn't know if that would ever be enough. You made it enough! You took my case, you believed in it, and over the course of a year you saw it through to the end with a level of care and skill that I will never forget. It has been a long year — but the right kind of long. The kind where you know the work being done matters. The settlement we reached means I can finally breathe again. I can clear the slate, rebuild, and step into something new and re invent myself — a life I can actually look forward to. That door would not have opened without you, and I want you to know that I understood that every single step of the way. You are genuinely exceptional at what you do. But more than that, you handled everything with integrity, with patience, and with real human decency. In my experience, that combination is rare. I was lucky to have you in my corner!! Thank you so very much, David. From the bottom of my heart — truly. With deep gratitude and respect, Ellis St. Croix

HIMPRO recently represented me for an insurance claim. They are a great firm, and more importantly, genuinely good people. I highly recommend them. From the beginning, they handled my case professionally and compassionately. Mena was amazing, her attention to detail and understanding made the process so much better. David and Silene also worked on my file and they were both honest, and highly knowledgeable lawyers. I felt fully informed and I was able to trust their judgement completely. My case was resolved in a very reasonable time given my circumstances. In my opinion, you will not be able to find a better group of people to handle your legal issues.

I am so grateful to have had this incredible team on my side after my wrist was broken in in a car accident, They guided me through the complex legal process and assured I received the maximum settlement possible. I discovered first hand that our legal system demands victims have experts guide and advise them if they have any hope for a fair resolution. A huge thank you to Silene, Ingrid, Spencer and the rest of the awesome team for all their support. Phillip
