Legal action can be pursued after being involved in an accident or sustaining injuries due to someone else’s actions or negligence.
Typically, personal injury claims involve the following parties:
- The plaintiff or claimant: This individual initiates the claim, representing the injured party (you).
- The defendant: The person or entity against whom the claim is made.
- Your solicitor: Legal representation retained to advocate on your behalf and navigate the legal process.
- PIRB (Personal Injury Resolution Board): Often referred to as the Injuries Board, PIRB assesses most personal injury claims before proceeding with further steps.
What Are the Common Injuries Sustained In Accidents?
For each type of accident, whether it’s a car crash, a slip and fall incident, or an injury related to a product, there exists a broad spectrum of potential injuries. Every part of the body is vulnerable to different types of injury, and the impact forces during an accident determine both the nature and severity of the injury.
